Bumped into Nigel Tolley in Cardiff, very approachable. I got the feeling he’s in this for the journey and does have political support beyond the greyhound track if that goes.

There is a lot of Tai bashing on here, but he is what the sport needs. We are missing those gobby crowd pleasers in domestic speedway. He knows how to get the crowd going and has a lot of support in a live environment.

A brilliant day. Monster really know how to put on a show in the fanzone. Loved the racing too.

Yes definitely. He questions the viability of Peterborough Speedway too! Pot kettle black.

He’s so disappointed he’ll insist on roads being called Mick Poole Way, Panthers Close etc etc.

There’s loads of other green spaces to build on. They should be asked why there? Why take away a useable facility when they could build that anywhere. create your 500 jobs by not taking away current jobs. keep the current 600,000 cars coming into the current facility and let the new one bring in as many somewhere else.

Didn’t The UAE pump shed loads of cash in via Etihad or something.

The unviable really needs to be shot down. How many sports clubs are profitable? Just about every sports club gets a benefactor’s money thrown at them. That doesn’t mean they should be built on.

Thanks. Do we know who owes it? If it’s the council it’s a potential plan B. If it’s private it might be the same people developing the showground.

Best course is to fight the showground being built on full stop. so what’s this at Fengate? https://maps.app.goo.gl/cELwrUmMtwFZFJn28?g_st=ic To me it just looks like another development opportunity waiting to happen if this is the place.

Sums up our whole season in one race that

Anyone know what Cardiff centre is like during train strikes? Birmingham is generally bedlam with everything grid locked. should I expect the same travelling into Cardiff? I’m parking in the NCP Pellett Street.

So again, like Wolverhampton et all, we have a perfectly usable facility we are fighting to keep. The sport then has to find/build another usable facility while the current one gets built on. It’s such a backward world.

I agree. I think what also needs adding to your post is other U.K. promoters dictating when a track can and can’t run. We have so few fans attending I can’t for the life of me understand why with a 60 mil plus population to tap into, tracks can be dictated to!

The points limit is suppose to level the playing field, yet we still see naff teams. A lot of fans walked when season after season their winning team was broken up. It also helps pull forward rider retirements. Perhaps it’s time to try a season without a points limit.

Could there be something based the way formula one works. Say sixteen riders, two per team. Each team races a machine made and tuned by a different pit crew. Maybe have a round at each track in the U.K.

I think that applies to a lot of commercial businesses. It does in Birmingham anyway, that way the council control re-development. Not sure which is best mind as in Sutton Coldfield our town centre is all freehold or leased by an old local charity. It’s difficult to develop as you need to get agreements across several owners.

Can we add Workington and Glasgow?

Doubt it. Josh is good and I love it when he comes to PB, but he isn't a number one.

I've met a few people like this in my life and I've often wondered how they get to where they are sometimes. In my experience, they constantly try to protect their position wrongly using a blame game on others inability to do stuff.

I’m only going as it’s my lads first season watching speedway. I wanted to give him that big event experience. He’s dragging along a school mate, hopefully two new recruits for life.

Or you just got your cash via a swift cash in hand tax dodge. Whenever anyone insists on cash these days people get suspicious.

I did receive the email and they were there in the app. But they’ve since disappeared. They’ve now appeared!

I’ve signed and so has my family, but sharing never seems to get my signature recognised on change org.
