I'm not sure that any part of your post is correct.
I to spoke to Dave on Thursday. He didn't recognise me. I've known him for 45+ years. At this point I have a very strong idea why the Club are saying he is ill and Dave says he is in fine health. Tragic if this is the case as we lost my Brother to a similar illness.
Stewart has tried to speak to him on numerous occasions during the last fortnight and has been faced a wall of silence. Which is why i guess Cooks Father spoke to Stewart.
I understand the same people are organising Ryan's event which may explain why no online sales which appears madness in this day and age. I am surprised the Club did not insist on it as its no doubt the Club that will get the flack if the queues are long.
The Lions have nothing to do with this issue. The event and ticketing is all done by Ryan's organising committee. I suspect they were not prepared to pay the set up fees or the fee per booking for a one off event.
i actually typed why would they have to pay out the contact? They wouldn't have to pay as no payment is due. And on a second point of clarification I am not a Champ but a retired Barrister.
No I am not. I'm suggesting that by not showing any league racing they would save the broadcast cost and satellite hire costs. The final rights payment was made some time ago.
My understanding based on a conversation with someone in the "meeja" is that their is no minimum number of meetings that they have to broadcast so they could just sit on the rights until they expire and not show league speedway.
Are you aware that people are now being fined up to £5k for using a Firestick and some poor chap in Liverpool got sentenced to six month in jail for illegal use of a Firestick.
I will imagine it will be the same format as last season which was the highlights from the meeting; which in my opinion is the best way to package the sport to attract new fans.
I was of the understanding that no team was allowed to sign Dan T as the family wanted Dan and Joe to ride for the same clubs and no team fancies both riders at the time.
You cannot say that about the Lion Cubs. Look how young their side is and which riders got their first opportunity at that level with the Cubs. What Leicester can be accused of is sweeping up the best young talent. Maybe this is because they can offer them lots of practice opportunities and the Club at that level have a very family feel to it.
