Isn't peak summer also a good grass track month as well ?

A big fine could be better than losing a fortune in a very watered down and repetitive premiership !!

I'm glad you edited that to make it easier to understand 🤣

Any news on the Wolves front Dean?

We often hear from football club owners that they are the 'custodians' of the club and are passing through. Do you ever hear a speedway promoter say that?

Maybe there are other reasons that certain riders arent returning which the club dont feel they are at liberty to announce. I feel the club will no matter what put together a side that will compete and time is of the essence to completing the line up. All riders are thanked for their contributions during the season and at the end of season do then all that is then certain is that once a club commits to a further season the fans support their club and decisions they make regardless of personal preference.

Fans of the former English non-league team Colne Dynamoes were extremely angry when the club's owner pulled the plug on the team in 1990 after being denied entry into the Football Conference due to ground issues. The owner, Graham White, reportedly "shat on every one of them" and "wouldn't have been safe walking around the town for some time" due to the intense fan anger. The Demise of Colne Dynamoes Colne Dynamoes rapidly rose through the non-league ranks in the late 1980s, winning the FA Vase in 1988 and attracting large crowds, sometimes over 1,000 people. Their rapid ascent, however, was their downfall. Ground Issues: As the team achieved success and looked set for promotion to the Vauxhall Conference (the highest tier of non-league football at the time), it became clear their Holt House ground did not meet the required standards. Failed Ground Share: White attempted to secure a ground-sharing agreement with nearby Burnley FC, a club he had previously tried to buy, but the Burnley board refused the offer. Club Closure: After plans for a new stadium failed to materialise and facing the prospect of not being promoted despite their on-field success, Graham White abruptly dissolved the club, much to the fury of its dedicated fanbase. The demise remains one of non-league football's great mysteries, often cited as a classic case of "too much too quickly".

Mr Doyle maybe doesn't seem to think so or surely he would have signed on for another season?

They will run or it's a big fine if they dont for breaking a contractual obligation

Were all of their fans really chuffed about it and praising the owner for having the right to do it? Or were they posting 🐕💩's through his letterbox? 😂

The only one that springs to mind is Colne Dynamos in Lancashire. They won the Northern Premier League in 1990. Following their denial of entry into The Conference the owner wound them up.

From memory the current American owners bought Ipswich Town for around 40 million. I think the only asset that wasn't purchased was the land that the stadium sits on. I believe the freehold is owned by the local authority.

A scintillating dozen or so posts over the 6 days since the thread was "handed back"

IF they run 🤷‍♂️

Poole are in a different league

Have there been any football clubs that have voluntarily closed? (Recently, as league champions and that have been well supported and well run... with good sponsors)

Can’t see that side bringing the punters in. Hasn’t Lawson already said he is staying at Poole?

1. Brennan - 7.23 (7.05) 2. King - 6.67 (6.50) 3. Rew - 6.19 4. Klindt - 6.46 5. Lawson - 7.00 (6.83) 6. Jenkins - 3.46 7. Edwards - RS Total - 37.01 (36.49)

There are still rumours of a six team top league given nobody in the championship wants to commit financial suicide by moving up is there a likelyhood someone with money to burn is going to take on Northampton ?

Thing is reading between the lines it looked like the plan was Bewley to Ipswich and Belle Vue retaining Kurtz in 2026 if Belle Vue end up retaining Dan it could leave Ippo having to attempt at some kind of strength in depth approach whatever that may look like.

Premier League and most Championship footy teams are established businesses - not sports clubs in your old-fashioned sense. Even League 2 Colchester United is up for sale as a business, with actual assets.

Passion is controllable, that is just brattish behaviour.

My excitement for the 26 season is starting to return. Sheffield, the team with the amazing track and fair minded fans is confirmed so that makes 4 and now I see Bomber is confirmed too. And Strictly finishes tonight. Happy days …
