What is there to be offended about? Don't do it if you don't want, do it if you do. I coached football for donkeys years and never got a penny for petrol or time - no one made me do it

they also care less because they're contracted to one other team in the uk and 2 or 3 in europe

which is why, and i've said this before so apologies, you offer free entry for a match or 2 in return for registering via email. You then have a database of potential and existing customers, even though it was free they showed an interest, and then you can market to them.

if we are moving towards the sport becoming a limited company perhaps at some point they could purchase the facility with a business loan.

in that case every big meeting should go there. A National Stadium should be holding a GP at least, though i realise the crowd would be a fraction of Cardiff it would be bigger than some other GPs. The quality would be 1st class of course.

fair enough Walter

i wouldn't describe myself thusly. Obviously they need props that reflect the times and i merely reflected. Sorry to spoil your day

this really isn't a cause for celebration: it merely underlines that the sport is seen as an historical activity.

is he in the next cell to SCB? Must be out by now.

I'd be quite happy if they charged a small subscription fee tbh

The Mail was inferior. If it wasn't it would still be here

Christ don't mix up my quotes with his

league racing failed in the places u mention because of distance and/or lack of riders. There's nothing wrong with league racing if teams have a strong local identity. Individual meetings have become unpopular in this country.Thats not the answer I'm afraid

part time yes, amateur no. When i started watching in 1968 riders had jobs (2nd div) and rode in front of bigger crowds on cheaper bikes we need to get back there

doesn't have to be completely amateur but just don't pay what you can't afford. Its that simple really

it is a point though, badly made in this case; what will happen without freedom of movement - will any work permits be issued while UK riders (workers) are unsigned?

i used to use a Middlesbro FC site and one member in Kent went to his wife's workplace and slaughtered her with a knife. You just don't know. Just for the record i have 6 points on my licence but that's it.

Dean Felton? Tell us what you think

No

yes it would have been better to say that but it would be better still if the site wasn't full of smartarses deliberately misconstruing your meaning. I was trying to assuage worries - now i hope they finish bottom

FFS do we have to be so literal - you're fully aware of the point I'm making. OK here goes - most teams - especially the weaker ones make a change or 2 so don't flap. OK?

people complaining about the team should just reflect that the chances of ending the season with the same 7 you start with are nil. No one ever does

mmm...food for thought

is there a point to this thread? If so, I've missed it

there's 4 positions up for grabs in a race! 3rd place instead of 4th might be the point that wins the match. Its a team game
