At the moment the new company is being set up, and sometimes they will be using whatever is still available. Note the Air Fence fund is the cheque to paying for Season tickets for those reasons. Some nitpicking on here just for the sake of it, and not even fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniew Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 No Steve, It's not certain that Danny will be in the team. But what we do know is that Danny was keen on returning if fit. On the financial side, he lives locally and travel costs would be minimal and you also have to factor in he was only one meeting away from virtually doubling his average. I think the fact that the new promoter is his father may have some small input but I don't think that any of the promotion team would let nepertism cloud the issue of assembling the best team possible under whatever financial resraints have been set in place.

erniew Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 So are you saying that a rider living in Sweden gets 15p per mile to help towards the cost of his 'plane ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 A suppose its down the individual rider, somewhere between what he wants and what he is prepared to accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably trying out at Redcar when the track is fit to ride I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a similar choice you make when deciding if the woman youve just met is worthy of a 2nd date..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
