In My View By Phil Rising

Recommended Posts

And then Colin Horton who shut the team down.

...thankfully I'd left by then. The demise of a once great and proud club.

It was the other way round.

 

Steve and Vanessa sold the promoting rights to Waggy however I'm not sure if anybody went under although I may be wrong.

 

All I known is that Steve became very disillusioned with the sport and Vanessa more or less took over the day to day running of the club.

 

After Waggy came that Poole supporter whose name totally escapes me!

Aaron Lanney

That's the one!

 

Signed up Tony Rickardsson who left after only a few meetings...think that it was the year he retired?

 

Todd Wiltshire was signed as his replacement and things became bitter the following season between Todd, Lanney and Horton...something over bikes I recall.

Trump took over the junior team and wanted to run it the following year (I don't know if his plan was to run Elite League as well), but by that time the stadium owners had had enough and said no.

They increased the rent and Trump said it wasn't sustainable. I spoke to another promoter a few months later who said he thought Oxford would've already been paying more than what the GRA had increased the rent too Edited by Triple.H.

HOW many guests do you think have been used in the PL, CL and NL this season?

 

Have a guess ... answer later today

540 but 520 of them were Chris Harris.

At a guess.

 

There must have been somewhere around 500 matches.

So around 550 to 570 guests.

I think the other 20 were Rory Schlein.

Whatever the number is I am sure it will be record breaking and back up what we all seem to now.... The sport is down a big hole and more guests is not the answer.

About 1.27 per meeting

Although my analysis did not include the NL. I hope (please) that this brought the average down a bit.
