All three in one go could mean that the final three aren’t anything to get excited about. Exactly ....If you had signed a top no 1 rider ...ud want to tell everyone ...Especially with season tickets available.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andersen will probably be in the team but he's certainly not confirmed in that press release. In fact, reading it carefully means his place is still open to doubt….That's if you believe it, of course. It says at least four new faces which could mean five (or even more), so that means no more than three retained from last year. Basso and Jenkins are two confirmed and Andersen would be the third if there are four new faces, but out of the team if there are more.

In the past they’re definitely brought the best away following! Well supported. Agree to a point. Once the team is announced not sure any amount of interviews will provide the same amount of interest as outstanding team members will. But, in this day and age there’s no reason why clubs and promoters can’t do a weekly or even monthly, blog on official social media with the latest updates on club matters even if it’s not team related. For instance, Louis at Ipswich told folks who attended the supporters club thingy that they were hoping to stage the much loved 16 lapper this year, as well as adding banking to the track etc. anyone who didn’t attend would have no idea of that, why isn’t it on the official website? It should be. As you say, it’s really not hard to do. I agree, it’s not hard to do at last one good story a week, news this year has been dreadful. And people wonder why the sport is in the mess it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson, Sunak, Raab, Zahawi, etc. would be delighted at the openness and transparency of the BSPA/L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really impossible to those that don’t just attend home meetings, but follow their team on the road and use their own eyes. It’s very easy to see what clubs are well supported and which ones aren’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Doubt very much they could use the Grandstand again as it's built of brick/ block is it not and the metalwork for the roof more than likely not up to the required standards for todays building requirements , all its good for is the floodlights and maybe seats but there very ancient, thats unless sentiment comes into play Edited February 9, 2023 by scoobydoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to put it out there and say pedersen andersen tungate basso NKI cook jenkins Don’t even know if the numbers work and it fits but anything other than that team….

I don’t know who owns the floodlights but they will take the shale, probably try and re use the fence panels known them.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember there being fundraising to pay for the floodlights in the Jim Lynch era. They needed to upgrade the previous floodlights as no good for sky sports.

Gasser90 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 I agree. It’s a big cost and a lot of work. I like the idea that the new Workington track has done with banking all the way round the circuit and no stand as such. If it rains speedway gets called off so maybe for the first season or something lower the gate price and people bring camping chairs or stand etc. i guess it all depends if MT will somehow incorporate a speedway track into his designs for car auctions or something. I could see the council maybe considering bringing the dogs back so having a dog track inside the speedway track and making the venue multi use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 4G football pitch in the middle, some form of indoor building to host events, smaller buildings to host conferences, depends ultimately what else Tomalin wants to put on site I have bo idea what his net worth is if it will be financed through his own wealth or through his company but ultimately its an investment if it doesn't work out he has land which is worth a small fortune if he sells it on As for the panthers side I'm going Pedersen, Basso, Tungate, NKI, Andersen, Cook and Jenkins. I believe Holder will end up at Ipswich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'm going with the following three. Nicki P (Literally no excuse not to meet his demands if Holder does get shown the exit door as expected) R. Worrall (Hopefully someone has managed to step up for Tungate though) Andersen Holder and Hume to complete the Witches 1-7 imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
