Wednesday/Thursday's was the chatter for EL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad if your club is Edinburgh, Ipswich, Plymouth, Redcar, Sheffield or Somerset, you mean? Aye, right! Sadly it wouldn't be the first time that the top level of the sport screws up and shafts the second tier to survive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 One or two high horses need to be dismounted from, especially crescent girl who seems to know what I am thinking when she doesn't have a clue. My preference, as outlined on one or two EL threads in recent weeks, would be for EL to be Monday & Wednesday, otherwise it would be a waste of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be a dog track at the new Swindon stadium? Radical thinking but why not say "This is the race night for the Elite League, if you don't like it then drop into the Premier League." We can't keep sacrificing the good of the sport as a whole for one or two clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't keep sacrificing the good of the sport as a whole for one or two clubs. We've gone a little "off-thread" here, but as far as the quote I've highlighted, the EL, under the Sky agreement as I understood it (it might have changed), is that the EL has to have a minimum number of teams in it (not sure if it's 7 or 8), so to say drop down to the PL might be easier said than done. Also, as to your first question, yes, there will be dogs at the new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Track Work at Brough Don't forget, if you want to join the track staff for 2016, we will be having a meeting at 2.00pm at Brough. Sheeters, red flag/graders needed. Before that, at 10.30am, we will be finishing off the sheeting and repairing the office floor. Shorter shift tomorrow, but if you fancy helping out, just pop along. See you there Edited February 27, 2016 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky were league sponsors at the time, so maybe don't have so much influence now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Am I right in thinking some form of meeting will take place in next few days to decide how much "Matty" Kus is going to cost the diamonds. I hope the commitee will make this decision with regard to speedway being a shoestring sport finances wise and let Matty come to us for a sensible fee. where did the winter go!

Totally agree. I think the final figure could be determined based on the same status of what the club paid for Ludde last winter. There is a similarity of age, ability, average and prospects so really a sensible valuation should be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
