Maybe having a member of the track staff "outed" as a possible paedophile, and his subsequent suicide, may have had an impact? Maybe, like Stoke, they can't source any shale for the track? (oh, the Irony for Drye House lol) The lack of official communication can lead to all kinds of speculation. About time a proper communique was issued about what the truth of the matter really is.

The only reason clubs run training days is because its another line of income. The amount of cash the riders pay more than offsets the cost of track prep, medical cover and insurance. A sensible decision to try and get some money into the business in the short-term. Reasonable answer.So they could run training schools through to the end and keep some form of speedway running there even if they pull out of the league?That would be my hope and then see how the finances are for next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albeit not a big concern at the moment, after switching to Wednesday's and having what looks like a healthy crowd on most occasions, given the choice it'd be interesting to see if we went back to Fridays and fight with the M5 traffic or stick with Wednesdays? Interesting choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then you have the M5. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realistically how many actually go to both on a regular basis.... must be less than 10 I expect if that many, so that can't be a reason for swapping back if given the chance from the start of next season.

The last i'd seen on that thread that someone had created to discuss it was people guessing the chaps name. I had no idea things had turned out that way. If you think that's inappropriate, you need help, and perhaps more to the point, perhaps direct your completely misplaced ire at the person who posted it originally, not me.
