    Have they maybe made an error surely £16 online & £18 pay at gate would have been more like it for concessions

    It's known as a CONcession

    How many concessions will take advantage of the 'book early reduced rate' via the app.? ;)

    Out on the very same limb as they were in 1970 to 1981 and 1999 to 2018......during both of those periods I recall very much of seeing a great many away followers at Derwent Park....then enjoying a pint with many post meeting. Workington is not on Mars ok.???

    Maybe they we're referring to its inhabitants? :o

    Great to see Workington build back. 


  3. Not so much as question about Tarasenko, but while watching the Cardiff GP, I noticed there was no flag/colours against Saifudinov. Can anyone shed any light on as to why?

    It's technical bankruptcy not full

    They carry on running essential services under supervision and have to be monitored. 

    A see, so they carry on but, under the watchful eye of 'the insolvency guy'?,,, making sure they're not wastefully using money, (best of luck to them). 

    Not really akin to a normal bankruptcy then? ;)

    Almost all Councils of all political persuasions have seen their central Government Grant slashed in real terms by 50% since 2010.

    Birmingham has had to pay out over £1 billion since 2012 after the 2004 to 2012 Tory led Council lost a Court case about pay inequality in 2010.

    Councils in Thurrock, Croydon and Woking already declared bankruptcy and they have got no Govt help and they are Conservative. 

    Many other Councils on a knife edge too led by various parties. 

     

    So, when a Council goes bankrupt, who does all the stuff that the Council is meant to do?

    The Council who own Perry Barr are effectively bankrupt and aren't in a position to take on any new financial obligations.

    A can't really get my head around this. Isn't the Council local Government?

    So, if the Local Government is bankrupt, does the General Government not help them out?

    Maybe just sell off any assets (to foreign investors) and, go from there?

    If the dogs at PB go, then something needs to be done to make the stadium pay. Could a stadium last, entertaining one speedway meeting per week, six or seven months of the year. If the council support keeping the stadium for speedway, surely some of the restrictions need lifting.

    Probably all down to numbers at the end of the day?

    Ladbrokes/Entain  own Monmore, ARC (a different group) lease Perry Barr it's ARC that have applied for a new Greyhound track at there own Horse racing Track in Wolvo, Monmore Greyhounds will be continuing at Monmore indeed it is according to the spokesman the injuries caused by Shale on the Greyhound track that the Speedway has been given notice at Monmore, even if the Greyhounds move from Perry Barr to Wolvo the Speedway could still continue at Perry Barr, in actual fact it could be to the Brummies benefit if they continue at PB because if PP is applied for to develop PB the council who own PB may feel duty bound to provide the Brummies with an alternative venue.

    Sounds familiar,,, although not beyond the realms of possibility, probably outside the laws of probability. Keeping shale off the dog track could be done but, maybe the work involved could be beyond the promotion and (usually) the time and effort from volunteers to carry out a successful job. Who folds first?

    Does anyone think anything will change with the rulebook for 2024 with regards to averages ??

    There's not enough Crayola pens or Crayons to fix the rulebook as it is.

    Please leave blank.

    Correct having been involved in athletics,the drug Testers just with you till your Athlete provides a sample,like you  saya bottle of water soon does the trick.

    ps

    its a small sample you have to provide.

     

     

    Yeah, usually 2 to 3 pints until a breach!!! :rolleyes:

    I am told from a very reliable source, or should I say from someone that should know what went on, Nick apparently could not pee to take the second test.

    If that was the case, when he was ready to take a pee, he should've provided one that could've cleared things up. I have actually heard a rider saying the same thing (about not being able to pee) but, surely drinking a gallon of water might've speeded things up?

    Morris hasn't been found guilty of failing a drug test though, he has pleaded guilty of refusing to provide one, there will be some who see that as an admission of a failed one had he chosen to take of course.

    One question though, do we know the reason why he refused to take a test.

    'No Comment'!

    With respect, it still could not be classed as "packed".

    Just shows you the current state of British speedway if 600 is classed as packed. 

    Dunno, could depend on what size the folk were?,,, chuck a few salad dodgers in and it might look fuller.
