Looks like Adam Roynon riding for us next season according to speedwaygb twitter feed....

Completely off topic for a minute but just found this bit of nostalgia on YouTube 1983 4TT finals with Beaton hunter Emerson Joe Owen and Martin Scarisbrick

Bugger that's right it has been a while lol

Come on you obviously haven't a clue wot your talking about when it comes to financial stuff and taxes etc, we've seen you making mistakes filling in your programme before remember.... :-)

Is the Seaton burn site the field right next to the A19 just before you get to Seaton burn roundabout on opposite side of the lane from quad bikes if so there were machines on there today looking as if they were doing test drilling probably not connected by the way

Does anyone know the legislation for getting a new noise licence, if it was on a brown field site ie industrial would that help get one?

Apparently he's talking to Newcastle, Gateshead and North tyneside Councils about getting land on a long term lease, he knows the financial costs of it all, and says an out of town site is preferable due to the problems with noise. Rob Godfrey is advising him on things due to the success of scunthorpe stadium.

Does anybody know what arcerage the likes of Somerset or even redcars stadium covers just to get some idea of what we're looking for...

Is this Sunday dogs racing definitely happening or is it just my mate heard it off a mate who works at the stadium sort of thing...

Just been looking on Google earth at the cambois track and it seems to be about 100 yds from North Sea so should be lovely and warm all season long

Just a thought about the current situation, I know the cut off for racing is normally 31st October but is it possible to use stadium past that point... Although I'm personally thinking this season is going to be written off totally, don't mean to be a doom merchant just my gut feeling...

On a similar note, what are ppls earliest memories of speedway at Brough Park, mine would be the reopening in 1975 my dad worked shift work so we could only go once every three weeks, I was about 5 or 6 yrs old. The Owen brothers Robbie blackadder Phil Michaelides Ron Henderson Tim swales, many a time I'd be chased out of the pits by Ivan the pits Marshall whilst looking for autographs.. If I remember rightly they had the telephone to the referee next to the start gate which made for a brilliant watch when Ian Thomas tried to reason with the ref lol

Don't think anyone thinks HE alone kept the club alive financially, but he's been the ever present and was possibly the person fighting to keep speedway alive when other investors came and gone, although I stand to be corrected on that, anyway its onwards and upwards from now on hopefully, has anyone got any suggestions for team manager next year, going off some of the posts on here over the years I think there's a few think they could do it better off the forum not naming anybody in particular mind

My apologies just didn't want to go down to their level lol

Probably just decided it was time to relax a bit, or is that not controversial enough
