Would definitely up the average age of an NDL team that's for sure but I still think he could show these youngsters a thing or two... Lines up alongside Armo, Tony Atkin, Hurry and Complin. Wouldn't be bottom in the NDL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Last few pages reminded me of Wolves getting a roasting at Blantye in 1981. Steve Lawson and Cribby gave a master class of how to attack a 'dodgy prepared track'. Does Cribby still get his ice bike out these days. That would be great to see at the New Worky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyHonestJohn Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Back to where we started on the raised viewing area on the home straight and no one will be allowed at the fence round the track there will/should be a secondary fence at the top of the banking... no one will be allowed at the fence around the track viewing will be at least a minimum of 3 meters above the track and approximately 5 meters back on the home straight and 10 metres back on the back straight and hopefully that's clear enough for Mr Nil Imagination @Steve Shovlar Edited July 1, 2022 by TotallyHonestJohn missed out key words 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all that pile of earth needs to be cleared away, the trees demolished and a stand erected. Lots of work to do!  On ‎6‎/‎23‎/‎2022 at 6:04 PM, TotallyHonestJohn said: Are ye Bob The Builder like? It will be right without your help thanks Marra... If your team ever get here you can come and spend your money... just dont ask for credit cos a smack in the mouth often offends... Regards THJ  On ‎6‎/‎23‎/‎2022 at 7:52 PM, Steve Shovlar said: Yes I will come up if Workington are in the same league, and will introduce myself. So you are saying fans are going to be allowed to stand right next to the track? I somehow doubt it. There has to be at least 8-10 metres between track and where fans can stand. Looking at the photo that would roughly be at the bottom of the earth mound. So the earth would have to be cleared away. Not sure why you have taken offence at the bleeding obvious.  On ‎6‎/‎23‎/‎2022 at 8:14 PM, crescent girl said: Where do you get 8-10 metres from? Two metres, more like....  On ‎6‎/‎23‎/‎2022 at 8:44 PM, JC81 said: regulations state there must be a 2 meter 'neutral' zone. So 8-10 meters is incorrect and by the pics I've seen of the track if your standing on the banks you are at least 5 meters away at top.  On ‎6‎/‎23‎/‎2022 at 11:03 PM, TotallyHonestJohn said: At the bottom of the "earth mound" as you put it will be the roadway to the tractor area and the top of the "earth mound" 10 metres away will be where the viewing will be... so dont assume the bleeding obvious when it is bleedin obvious you havent got a clue (as usual) what you are on about... However I will be there over the weekend weather permitting and just for you I will take a couple of pictures... do you have any preference where I should take them from? Mr David Bailey? Because its bleedin obvious that you will be an expert in photograpy for sure... or will you be happy with a few random snappies? Here is something else that is bleeding obvious because the track is being set in a bowl the viewing will be exceptional and the the track will certainly match the NSS and I would be happy to put my neck on the block and say now it will be deemed as the best track in the country bar none because the guys have had a blank canvass to work with... and they are doing an exceptional job... Must be great being an expert 380 miles from the job and looking at Photographs... reminds me of a Building Surveyor I once knew who said he would work at any height you wanted as long he could keep one foot on the floor and his other favourite saying was send me a picture I am allergic to the outside...
