Exactly, they're the people that the Isle of Wight rely on surely? They need to promote a show/good night out not a league basically. Every promoter needs to strive to "put on a show" around their main meeting. It's easier to do that particularly for the kids on a Sunday afternoon or Saturday evening with no time restrictions .....

What do you mean? The AFA is still in Saddlebow Road .... For me, it's great to even have our sport mentioned in/on The Spectator

Hope there's no worries about the guys in Poland getting back for this one .....

Quite right, I often buy tickets online for older friends/fans ...

No problem Haza, never said there was. Will you be buying one?

What's the latest on the French thing?

I think the allowed capacity will suffice to not mean advance ticketing but we will see .....

There's loads like him, just go to bloody Cardiff cos of the "occasion" tch! Each to their own though ......

IF the intention now is to sell the whole site, announce it now, the fans deserve that surely?

It's up to the new promoters from next year isn't it ........... I'm hoping that they just pick all the best tracks for a smaller series

You haven't been to speedway for a few years have you?

Looked ok from the outside yes ......

The main thing for me is he manages to help both clubs, we know speedway is in a precarious position in the UK, clubs need all the help they can get. Rob Lyon and Peter Schroek will make sure the teams are fired up to win against each other and every other team, the stuff that goes on behind the scenes is just that "behind the scenes". Don't get me wrong I totally and utterly appreciate Knighty for his work to help the clubs but on race day it's our riders, our team manager and us!!!!

Has Hampel got any symptoms or is he symptomless like the Holders?

Michael Lee maybe, who knows his stats? Ended up on 9.22 in 76 and 10.64 in 77 so Wikipedia tells me ....

The sun won't shine ever again for some on here lol

This forum is a hotbed for ex fans unfortunately .....

But to the fans, riders and management it "could be" a once in a lifetime/career happening, something that will be remembered forever. For me a league win is a total club "thing". Of course everyone involved would hope for adulation from the media but at the end of the day it's special for the club and all involved!! This year, if we go racing, there will be winners and losers as always. Our leagues are all about starting relatively equal and that's a positive we have over ALL the rest ..... don't fret!

Hmph yes ......

In the 70s jobs were two a penny so yes riders could be part time as such, it's not so easy these days I suspect hence they like to be 'pro' riders and why not? Plus years ago I suspect there were many more Friday/Saturday clubs in the British/Elite/Premiership so again it was easier to hold down a job and race speedway?

As long as the sport here is in such a precarious position there will be no independent person imo. It's a committee, everyone has their say (if they've been on it long enough), everyone can put ideas forward .....

Not his responsibility but as they are team mates and fellow Brits just thought he might give him a few tips along the way, simple as that!

At least we know, given fast equipment, Dan can do it, he's a natural, he just needs the money to sort his equipment, let's hope old Wuffy helps him along the way eh ....

Hope they have lots and lots of rain in 2021 teehee ..... karma

My point is I don't care about any other club however good or bad their stadium/track is ....
