    Looks like the club are dammed if they don’t and dammed if they do, no surprise there either with some people.

    With Allerdale Council so keen to throw taxpayers money at this white elephant and screwing over the most successful team in the town for years into the bargain, would not the kindest thing for them to have done was pick up the debts (if any) owed by the speedway, and cleared them as a goodwill gesture, after all they are getting what they've always wanted....rid of the noisy/smelly speedway and no more hassle to deal with from the sport's objectors? It's a funny thing, Reds want the pitch 18' wider/longer to meet the FA criteria yet surely that means Town would have an even wider try line to defend than the one they struggle with now and further to run length wise to score, that's some trade off??

    What he said in thr Speedway Star referring to signing for Belle Vue was, "It's not a second option for me.Belle vue and Peterborough are both first options I could have picked from and I am happy to be with the Aces. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that riders say whatever is expedient at the time. I suspect that if another club had come in with a better offer he wouldn't be riding for either of our clubs. Just as most of us would work for whoever offered us the best deal.

    I believe my info is 100% kosher- just ask yourself why Ipswich had no interest in him riding for them again.

    You clearly don't see this that situation is totally of Kings Lynn's making... We are now in the middle of February and still waiting for the team to be announced. I don't get this crap about more media exposure, are they saying the Club has to announce a rider to get any exposure? What a daft philosophy. Any PR officer worth his salt, could make a habit of producing a article every week purposely to keep the team in the news . The announcement of Ty Procter was lost in most media outlets, over shadowed by the Tatum and Pearson show, which was what most medias ran. The release of the news of Proctor signing would have had more impact had it been released months back. Now people are fed up waiting..... But as usual the real fans are of little importance.

    There have been plenty of rogues involved in running speedway over the years ( and there seem to be now ). One of the perennial problems in speedway is the secretive nature of any information released to supporters. It would be very easy for the current company to identify itself as previously NOT being the one under the Rogue Traders spotlight. Why leave the possibility open that they might have been?

    I feel for the fans of Workington losing there team ,but why in the section of Championship 2019 there is a Workington section as rpthey will not be up to tapes , We don't have a Rye House section in the elite teams 2019 so let's move on with the season 6 weeks away

    If you attend all meetings in the main grandstand and purchase I programme then you save £67. Any extra Colts meetings would also be free so the potential saving goes up to £115.

    Lot's of mention on here of the May deals, what about the ones that failed to land the signatures of crowd favorites: Wright, B.W.D or Allen!!!!!!!!!

    Ah Mothers' Day. It's a good job we'll be away on a cruise - I could just imagine what response I'd get if at 5.00pm on Mothers' Day (when 'er indoors expects to be wined and dined) I announced that I'd be off out to t'speedway! Same thing on Easter Sunday (21st April) which also happens to be her ladyship's birthday, so I'll be missing Leicester. Another holiday weekend is Mayday weekend on 5th May (Birmingham on that day). I reckon t'switch to Sunday racing might see me ending up in t'divorce court.

    Considering the current family-run No.1 UK Carpet Cleaners in Christchurch wasn't incorporated til 2014, I find that difficult to believe!! Maybe you should delete your post as at the very least its defamatory!!

    A stadium being pushed through by a council leader who is a share holder in reds and an ex town chairman who is the mouth piece for the plans , seems well above board puts mr perrys dodgey deals in the past to shame .

    My best suggestion would be to ask Sheffield speedway at office@sheffield-speedway.com I`m sure that between them and the stadium owners discussions and hopefully agreement has been put in place regarding the panorama restaurant Sunday opening.

    I would expect there will be at least an initial upturn Very few of those that could be tempted back will read the mixed verdicts on here - they will get the mainstream news - and I think the top flight return will be viewed positively A good start at home and some entertaining meetings will be needed to capitalise and maintain that advantage Fingers crossed

    He was a joy to watch around Shawfield and was a big part of our phenomenal team's of the 93 - 94 seasons.

    If MPT is in the side it’s looking like he will partner Andersen as Kerrs last GSA was 5.50 whilst MPT is 5.36

    It gives the signed Comet riders the chance to say "we are ready to race as soon as you want us".

    In Redcar’s case I agree.You have to agree the standards has been watered down though with the new points limit.Some teams are suffering more than others regarding points limit,Redcars poor season last year has helped them. IMO.I wish them well as it’s a great racetrack.
