if he could and would the BSPA will devise away for his average to be to high.

if they leave before the closure that could affect their redundancy payment, hopefully Honda will do the decent thing and honour any redundancy payments for any worker who successfully finds alternative employment. Either way I wish all involved the very best of luck in finding a new job.

What a fantastic post, hats off to you SS and massive congrats to Darcy and his missus.

Can't agree to this, however I would agree that all 4 have to go straight back to the starting gate and not via the pit gate.

Agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying, I also get "is that still going" from where I work apart from 1 guy who does go when work etc allows. My congestion point was not Kirky lane, but the outer surrounding area. Regent Rd gridlocked (roadworks) A6 Stockport slow traffic (roadworks) M57/A57 slow moving traffic,(normal congestion) as for Oldham Rd and Rochdale Rd I guess pretty much the same, so anyone going to the meeting on Monday night or Thursday night who live outside of M19 need to finish work early, which is not always possible and must have some impact on our attendance

Manchester is also the most congestive city outside of London. The M6 is always chockablock from Stoke through to past Warrington, meaning fans have to leave early which is not always possible because of work etc, Buses are timed to take 5 mins from Piccadilly to the Apollo, plus another 5 mins to Belle Vue. So whilst I agree that the links are superb, unfortunately the roads cannot handle the amount of traffic presently using them. Would be interesting to see what crowds we could get if we ran on a Sunday.

Racing at the NSS is anything but boring, even from the gate races are close, and I firmly believe that other tracks that once provided good exciting races still can if prepared better. As for promoters intentionally winding it down, do me a favour, nobody intentionally throws good money after bad. I heard our promoters have a 5 year plan to turn Belle Vue round, I sincerely hope they can. As for the cost, when compared to other professional sports Speedway is relatively cheap, it's the extras that one can do without to keep one's cost down.

How can you be so sure when you/we don't even know the starting 7

Hopefully the majority of fans who go to support their team, don't visit this forum. All this negativity is no good for our sport. The simple answer is. Back Speedway or lose it.

cheers.

If DB can't or doesn't want to commit to a full season then ask him to do the 1 meeting, then replace him with J Auty.

ummm,that's debatable, of the 7 clubs only 1 has a definite home advantage plus they have riders that can win them points on their travels.

top 4 in no particular order, Swindon.....Poole.....Wolves.....Belle Vue. 5 to 6 in no particular order, Peterborough.....Ipswich. 7th, only because as of yet we don't know their team, Kings Lynn.

all the more reason we need him to find a spanner man, fingers crossed.

5.19 left to find a replacement, Hopefully he will sort out his spanner man and still ride for us, if not then who??????

Yes today's racing at various tracks do produce as good and sometimes better racing than the era the clip is from, however back then there was more and I'm pleased that I had the pleasure to live through it.

we all know that riders are self employed and will ride wherever it suits them, but at the PCMT when interviewed he did say BelleVue are the only club he would ride for if he ever rode in our shores again, his words not the fans.

M Zagar is another who hated Kirky lane, how we managed to get him to ride for us there, I have no idea but, he came to love the place.

totally agree

having seen Dan's fitness routine I have no doubt he will be ready and flying, Belle Vue will be the team to beat this coming season, As in the title of one of Leonardo de caprio's films "Catch Us If You Can"

I recon he just has faith in his own team, nowt wrong with that.

Then a dumped victim

You know full well he wasn't dumped, Bjerre was a victim of British speedway's team average system, just like Cookie this season.
