Well done to Stoke on an excellent signing. Cleggy could turn out to be he top NL performer this year.

All they need to sort out now is a similar quality track electrician and it could be a good season.

Hope they get a few more through the turnstiles on the back of this.

He should be: he is really too good to be riding in the NL.

You could make that argument about plenty of riders being "too good" same as many riders "not progressing" and blocking spots of other potential riders. Im not sure anyone is "too good" for the NL as riders & the product as a whole will only get stronger riding against stronger opposition.

Similar could be said of riders being too good for the CL that ride in the PL, depriving riders of CL spots. If they had kept the "2 Brits per CL team", it might have helped.

The adding & removing of certain rules, this year, will not help British Speedway.

Friend Adonis, thank you for your interest in my well-being.

I am a Buddhist. We Buddhists go through many cycles of death and re-birth which we call samsara. Obviously, we are seeking release from this constant cycle (nirvana) but this is not easy to attain.

It is quite possible that you knew me as somebody you refer to as "Bundy" before my latest re-incarnation and I am sure that you will see that my behaviour and actions (karma) have enabled me to come back rather higher up the pecking order and I may soon be a deva or assura.

If my karma had been bad then I would surely have returned to this place as a tortured soul such as an earthworm,  an earwig or most desperate of all, a Loomer Road season ticket holder.

Since I only appear to be granted about three postings a week, I hope that you will be suitably grateful that I have used up my valuable allowance to deal with your enquiry.

Namaste _/\_

I don't think they actually print them out.

You just pull up at Gloomy Road's gates, wink at the 2 happy souls who hover about there and tell 'em your a mate of Dave's.

They wave you straight into the executive car park and your reserved seats are polished and waiting for you.

What's not to like?

You don't want to be one of them mate, not worth the ink that is printed on it.

 

I thought the rarity factor added to its value :D begs the question what is rarer a Loomer season ticket or a smile from the woman on the gate?

You lot that are always have a go at Stoke Speedway make me vomit, They have Speedway not like Cradley, Hull, Newport, Reading, Wimbledon, Bristol, Carmarthen, Hackney, Romford, Exeter, Crewe, Oxford, To name just a few, Ask any fans from thm clubs if they would  swap with Stoke,

You never hear  of any rider that has ridden for Stoke complaining of not getting payed do you, not like riders from other teams.

There is no doubt that Stoke has its faults & that finances are a large factor of this but there are plenty of positives too like the track shape is good, it can produce good racing & the viewing is excellent. What often lets down visits there is the approach from the club. If they had the IOW style upbeat attitude along with a welcoming atmosphere you would find many are far more forgiving. Every year i hope to see Stoke succeed on the track but for them to succeed off track they need to accept the failings and look to address them one step at a time rather than deny they even exist.
