And this year he hasn't been very good, even in the NL. He seems to lack the necessary hard edge.

Would you seriously want him?

I doubt he'd come, what with his past history with Redcar and the fact that he's now probably used to getting more money than they can offer, his form has been very patchy so he'd fit right in, in that respect.

It all makes you wonder what some of the current fat-cat riders would make of things if we were to reduce to one league?

Good lad, just needs an extended chance.

"Ritchie"? No wonder he's left!

Belle Vue are in a precarious position due to delusions of grandeur and an extremely gullible council.

Summers isn't an answer.

All those things sound familiar and I remember Bradford used to bring a class load of kids by bus to home meetings. After the first four laps one turned to me and said "is that it"? After about three races they would just be rambling around the stadium looking for something to do. It needs the product itself to tempt people but most clubs are beaten before they start, with teams made up of foreigners and guests and terrible tracks.

Too much ganging up.

If Redcar don't win that, they should sack the lot.

"taping up" Haha.

They'd need a new promoter.

In the case of Halifax, the council approached the Ham Bros with a view to returning to a refurbished Shay, they declined the offer and as the two tracks were very close together it was unlikely anyone else would get a licence, so the Shay was redeveloped without Speedway.

The 'final death toll' would probably be more likely if we brought in more big names and then went bankrupt because of their demands.
