In terms of Poole, and just Poole, Ford has done an incredible job, and made the Poole Pirates the biggest and best club in the EL. He has bent the odd rule along the way, and rode a coach and horses through others, maybe some EL promoters out there need to take a leaf out of Poole`s book, might make things more competitive, might also kill off British speedway.

I think Edinburgh will win tonight, but they cant hog all the trophies, so I will be a Diamond supporting geezer tonight. Shine bright like a Diamond.

Congratulations to Poole on winning the EL, finished top, won the play-off so have proved to be the best team. Like them or loathe them they are the standard that the other clubs have to beat.

Unlike one or two on here, my glass remains half full, and I am hopeful speedway will continue at Shielfield next season.

All booked up for the Czech GP, thought about going somewhere else next year, and still may do but Prague never misses for me.

Its called promotion, and if the announcement got an extra few along then all credit to the Newcastle promotion.

Anything that guarantees a speedway track for the next five years is good news and should be welcomed, for some of us next season is a million miles away right now.

So what is England`s national anthem.

So your suggesting that Woffinden should sing Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem rather than God Save the Queen then.

But doesn't that mean there will be more nothing meetings towards the end of the season, at least the play-offs keep the interest going for longer for most clubs, though you are right, there does seem to always be a rush to get fixtures done in time where clubs race on off nights meaning almost certain financial losses.

And look at the success Cradley have had, both in terms of trophies and crowds going to watch, and they haven't even got their own track. I am sure the current promotion have their reason but I don't understand why NL racing wouldn't or couldn't be a viable option, surely you need to keep as many options open as possible in Berwick`s situation, right now it seems its PL or nothing should a someone else not be found.

Surely the costs for NL racing would be lower than they currently are racing PL, and would at least give the chance for the club to be closer to breaking even than it does now. You never know NL could be the savior for Berwick Speedway both in the short and long term, so there would no need to go back to PL racing.

Send him to the tower. Does it really bother you.

Please don't post rumours, its not a good idea on this thread. Looking at other clubs threads its seems changes are on the cards, hopefully they will be the changes both to the rules and to the leagues that see speedway in this Country stop its downward spiral, lets face its about time.

Rumour or fact. I agree, PL would be the preferred option for me to, but surely Berwick in the NL is better than no Berwick at all. Buying Berwick Speedway or investing in speedway full stop might not be an attractive proposition right now but if the necessary changes are made speedway might be more attractive to an investor in the future. IMO if Berwick shuts its doors now I cant see it re-opening.

This forum is full of rumours, its a discussion point, if you don't want to get involved then don't.

Reading rumours on other threads, there seems to be radical change on the cards at the up and coming conference for the make up of all three leagues. Rumours suggest that four current PL clubs will move into the EL with two current EL clubs heading the other way. Also it is suggested that two current PL clubs will drop into the NL. Berwick are unlikely to be one of the clubs heading towards next years EL (usual crew please note this is not a dig at the current promotion) but how do people feel about Berwick dropping to NL level. So far from statements from the club the NL scenario has been off the agenda, however if these changes happen, surely it should be considered, at least it would keep speedway in Berwick, and there`s no reason why they cant move up should British speedway get back on its feet.

There has been talk of Sheffield going EL before, obviously they have the facilities, but it didn't happen then and I cant see what has changed for it to happen now.

If there is going to be a national speedway centre in Manchester then it makes all kind of sense that it is used for prestigious meeting both from the FIM and on behalf of the BSPA.

While I agree I would also like to see Emil back in SGP, it could also be argued that there may come a day that Emil will one day look back on his GP missing years with a tinge of regret.

If anybody.......anybody out there has the foggiest idea what on earth this post is on about could you please explain, as it has me beaten.

After the golf the other day, Mr North clearly concerned about his farther. https://twitter.com/Chris_Holder23/media

Meeting finished three days ago, seems this thread may last forever.
