    You know what, that would cost very little to implement all of that

    What Went Wrong?

    Something I remember as a kid was going to international meetings were people cheered for foreigners nwho raced in their local team. I never have and never will but into that! Let's use the old football analogy once again. I am an Arsenal fan for my sins but back when we had half the french team playing for us I would never of considered supporting the french national side.. Yeah I honestly believe that.

    Bunkem The ONLY way to get British speedway anywhere close to other European leagues is to go to a single night.Better for media whether it be live coverage or written press the following day. It's better for sponsors and in the long run it will be best for supporters. As said night will be speedway night, none of this going into the boss asking for Monday off, half day Tuesday, late start Wednesday and Friday off because your team has 5 meetings in a week.

    Here We Go Again!

    Track is very nice, Dave Coventry and team have dug the pit pend right out, replacing the broken drainage pipes, relaying the Base then redressing the surfing. It's held a couple of car meets since with only minimal rutting, cars turn 4 (speedway turn 1). Not that it affects the speedway but the floodlights have all been ripped out and replaced with LED lights. A since Deane Wood has taken on ownership of the stadium, no one can accuse jlgim of not getting his wallet out.

    To be fair you will never find an answer to please everyone. But going to 1 or 2 nights is the only way to make it work.rIf you can't ride on the given nights then you have the option of the National League which should always be a 7 day league.

    The joy of a couple of competitive challenge matches to start off with.

    Maximum Brothers

    Have any brothers scored maxes in the same meeting but for opposition sides?

    What Went Wrong?

    Tbf we still get close to 40,000 at Cardiff, and that does not reflect back to league racing. So whilst there was 90,000 plus, how many of them went weekly to their local team. I honestly feel if we had a world championship level meeting in one of Londons big stadiums it would be close to a sell out.

    Always considered Matty a good man in the engine room. Never gonna pull up many trees, but never let's his side down.

    Probably giving the beeb free coverage, which is probably also why they attract title sponsors.

    Wimbledon Stadium: Some Important News

    Just to confirm about the above, It was a Facebook post and Deane Wood spedeworth owner was just tagged in the post.

    Belle Vue National Stadium

    Should be used every night of the week, a track with genuine lines everywhere are only really found in Poland. And I would say it's better then nearly if not all tracks over there.

    Gerhard Engine

    Watched young Jack Thomas on his brand new GTR and was the fastest rider all day, I had him down as maintaining what he built up last year but his speed today I fully expect him to be an out and out head leader by July. The engine itself seems too pull and pull, without so many unpredictable rear ups the favoured GM gets.

    Swindon Stadium

    And to think I argued with my dad when he told me it was pointless booking a hotel. Glad he persuaded me to wait.Think I am right that only Lynn NSS and Berwick have current FIM licences so it's unlikely to be something we do ton the way back to kent from Cardiff now. With the young talent we have I was looking forward to seeing a world u21 as well. If that's the case then that's great news. If nothing else when work starts it will be obvious very quickly as to whether we will ever see a new facility on the site.

    Nl Fantasy Side (for Fun)

    I edited my original post Matty, but quoted it here so it's obvious it was chosen before the first league match.

    Wimbledon Stadium: Some Important News

    No but I have been to 4 events this year sold out, and I mean a third of the stadium rammed with 3500 people. I have been a regular there for over 3 decades. and the curruption involved in the AFC Wimbledon lot is nor restricted to the brown envelopes that strangely got the flood warning level reduced (about a week before planning was submitted). They have been at it since they started. Ask any non league club who faced them in the FA Cup qualifiers how badly they fiddled the attendances ( I went up for a 3rd or 4th qualifying road with Ashford Town) we took a few hundred up with us, yet wimbledon released attendance figures of a few more then we took (assume the thousand or so home fans were all complimentarys) It's not isolated either just visted non league forums and serch back a few years, they are so hated for their corruption around gates, dodgy player signing deals amongst over stuff. Yes they have kept trotting out the return line, I signed up to the newsletters from AFC Wimbledon ground campaign and their literature is complete BS. They also claim to have the backing of local businesses and residents. That's simply not true. Visit two of the closest pubs (Corner Pin and Leather bottle) ask the landlords and punters what they think, the only ones that weren't 100% wanting to keep it as a stock car and potential speedway venue simple did not care either way. Let's also look at when the Wimbledon Dons left the area, they cashed their ground in for flats and played at palace for about a decade. The place was 3 quarters empty every week, despite being mega cheap to get in (me and a few school mates used to train up from ashford to south Norwood and watch premier league matches for about a tenner) Now I do have sympathy with what happened next and the Norwegians (if I recall correctly) ripped the heart out the club and decamped up the M1. But one of the things that the fans were trying to use to block the move was the fact it was unfair to kick out the hockey team from their ground in Milton Keynes saying how it was imoral it was. How ironic that they know are quite happy to do the same thing to not only 1 sport but 2!!! And preventing a third returning. (There had been strong romours that spedeworth were going to lay shale had they had had a longer stay of execution) So basically everything associated with afc wimbo in my eyes stinks badly. Just hope they go out of business, they deserve to. Buying another teams ground and then selling it from underneath them to Chelsea.
  24. Used to enjoy the 4,3,2,0 points but find it more and more likely that we get a gate infringement or a first bend fall and the spectacle is lost (obviously I mean for semis and final, it does not affect heats at all really.)
