The loss of any existing leisure and sports facilities will not be supported unless replacement facilities are provided in accordance with policy LP30.” It makes people feel better but doesn't mean a lot. If speedway isn't there because we're not running for whatever reason (and it's been close on numerous occasions since 2010 as we know) then there is nothing to be replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have agreed with you before this season, could you give me a rough estimate of crowd numbers tomorrow please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just now, proud panther said: Would have agreed with you before this season, could you give me a rough estimate of crowd numbers tomorrow please ? Not fussed tbh and never play the numbers game anyway. Even Frost complained of awful gates and he provided a much superior product. Bratters complained over the years as well. It is what it is and the only supporters missing out are the ones not there. It should be entertaining and nobody wants to look a mug on TV.

A ORLOV Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) If it is as low as mentioned it will be interesting hearing Bill and Ben bigging up the size of the crowd. Edited September 8, 2019 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Clump 200 together in the centre of the stand and pass it off as a well run professional sport. Of course, if the track does provide for some exciting racing it will hardly matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he will try and get his team mates to get it called off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther1997 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) If we do come to tapes in 2020, Ty, Hans and Scotty need to be nowhere near the team, I’d take Charles (as a 3/5), Rohan (as a 3/5) and BWD (as a 2) from the riders we have had as permanent riders this year. Summers at a push possibly. Edited September 9, 2019 by Panther1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Flying Ryan would be a catch. He loves the place. No doubt Wolves will try and nail him down for 2020 asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Peterborough wont get Douglas, Poole are no doubt tapping him up already All change for him now he went home a few seasons ago unsure he would be back in the UK again due to his low average issue with a visa now he may have the pick of where he wants to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAST GATER Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think you should swap Scot for him but i think you would have to put a few bob to the deal as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 I would start again with a new 1-7 for next season tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
