Yep.  And Hull, and Trelawny, and Newport, and Reading, and Wimbledon, and Coventry, and... well, I think you get my drift.

Oh yes, and the rest.  Also don't agree with everything Len says but he does, and always has, promoted his tracks and gets people in watching and talking about them.  Dunno about his online presence but he writes regular-ish letters to the 'Star ....

Thanks for the nice words, we try to always look at the positives of the sport, our club and put our best foot forward so to speak. We also value the effort everyone makes to come to speedway or be part of it... we know what it is like to travel because we do it every week too.

However, we really do love the action in the National League and to be now able to tie up the shool with entry in to the Southern Development League we really can say the we have a develop step for anyone who wants to be a speedway rider.

Your question was could we come up a league.... this is of course something we would consider but it isn't really on the radar for now. For now, we have to grow the club, ensure  its longterm existance by breaking even (at the very least) every year. If you ask me where I want the club to be, then I hope my response is the same as any promoters...we want a viable club that provides great entertainment and a fun filled family night out. If that is in the NL or another one, the objective has to be the same. I also truly believe we can be the Manchester United of speedway.... if that makes sense.. to have an internationally marketed clubs with followers everywhere... thats the target.

All the best

Barry

Thanks for your views , i wish you and your club all the best for the coming season

Yes Martinmauger  ( any relation to the great Ivan ???).  Silver does write letters to the Speedway Star, they always make me grin

because he gets hot under the collar at anyone who dares to criticise the sport.  I'm told he also writes an e-mail column on a regular

basis, but I don't know how to get on his mailing list. Can anyone advise me ?

I wish, but sadly no.  Len is still super keen about his sport, as Martin Rogers says in this week's 'Star "the promoter needs to be biggest fan in the stadium"....
