HGould Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Great to see work on the Track has started in earnest now with all the shale being removed to the base before its built back up with new material and bladed. Great work by the Promotion. Thank You 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less about Godfrey; you don't need to get upset about me dissing the great man. I was complaining about the destruction of a very valuable means for riders to get their first step on the speedway rung. I drove a rider round many tracks in order for him to ride in his progression; the MDL was the next step before the National League, though this didn't happen. As I said, the MDL teams were run despite the promoters. Yet again you just don’t get it. He did not do away with the MDL ! There was / is nothing in the way of the MDL. The BSPA simply stopped ‘ teams ‘ using the names of clubs that no longer exist and were not going to appear in the very short term. Your assertion that junior teams are run despite the promoters is an insult to all the promoters who allow and in most cases assist in running junior teams and I include Godfrey in that even though I am not a major fan on the way the sport is currently being run. Without the say so of a promoter no second half’s get run, at all ! You simply don’t have a clue how these things are run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimsboy Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Great to see the images of all the Track work going on. Be Great if Brummies had their 1-7 in place to race on the new surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there: I included the photograph to show that I helped one of the riders for a couple of years doing MDL, and I have described what I then saw. This argument started when I included a quotation from the Scunthorpe Stags Facebook site, saying that Godfrey 'did not like' the MDL. After all, Scunthorpe is not a 'club which does not exist'!

Just a gate and go.Done the job he was brought into do for Berwick to be fair and like you say he did improve away from home last season.Him and Leon saved us at home a number of times last season.

GiveusaB Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Oh well, we haven't signed him yet and I dont know if we will? I'd be prepared to give him a go based on how well he goes at B'ham, when I've seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
