i'm hoping Drabik, fantastic exciting style

who is AJ??

this thread is at the top of the page, you'll notice also that threads for most of the teams that are all announced are slipping down to the bottom because no-one is interested any more, they've had their say, but this one keeps going .....

also one of the nicest people i've ever met through speedway, dear old Lionel Crossley

i used to love it at Wimbledon where all the lights would go off around the stadium and just leave the track lights for the race, great feel about it

if the BSPA pay set rates when paying part of debts, why can't ALL clubs use those same set rates to run? that way clubs can more or less keep to budget allowing for home and away results. if clubs are found to go over the rates then there's a penalty, whether it be league points or position. also riders know that others aren't getting more than them (on a points basis) and might do away with some animosity in the pits. and if a club closes owing riders, they won't be out of pocket because the BSPA will pay that set rate. individual sponsors can make up any shortfall for riders, and if the riders still can't get what they want then maybe the UK isn't for them in a time when ALL clubs need to be stable financially.

welcome back Tofty and Ed (Poultec)

but if those "excellent replacements" are in the team this year, then they're poor .. not getting your logic, sorry

hasn't lived in the UK for a few years now, he's back in Denmark in a house he had built

seems Gustix can't help himself from trying to put speedway down at every opportunity still, despite being told to stop, and always agreeing he will. maybe another thread will surface .. "10 Favourite Tracks that have closed"

unless he's specifically said he won't be at the 4s

European Grasstrack semi-final same day?

so announcing the team is IN the supporters hands?

because nothing at all regarding the Swindon track/stadium has been secretive has it Sidney ....

last season a lot of Kings Lynn supporters were seen at the Showground, and the ones i spoke to stated the lack of fixtures at KL, hope they're not lost

i just posted this on the Peterborough thread ... IF, and it's a big IF, Buster is trying to bring down some pay scales across the board then surely that's a good thing for the future of the sport? it's not a good business model to be paying out more than comes in, no matter who the rider is

back to the day of riders using one bike and the sport being run like grasstrack here i think. too many think the sport can sustain paying extortionate wages. it's not all about the GP riders, as the leagues become weakened then riders of a certain average become the sought after ones and their demands get higher which defeats the object of weakening

"chomp chomp chomp"

if the weather is good i love to go down on the beach opposite the stadium, there's a bar and it's a great atmosphere. failing that, on the way to the stadium there's bars and restaurants galore

what about Peterborough?

if it was all over really quick people say it wasn't value for money
