Apologies if I missed something from you I'm sure I've seen the sign them but allow them to miss away meetings as necessary put up Mute point anyway as none of these are signing up for an any day of the week league

If your so concerned about the possible loss of a community facility then put your hand in your pocket and give Chris £xxx amount of thousands for the club or at least offer to go into partnership with him. At the end of the day if Chris has had enough of running the club no matter if its for financial reasons or personal I think its his decision and his alone.

Does "moving it on" include shutting it down? It's not just a business it's a community facility. If he just walks away surely he's done his money and will effectively have nothing to sell.

They can’t afford to stomach it, maintaining last years level isn’t going to be enough, they have lost the tv money, so either a new deal comes along to replace that money or they need to increase the attendance by that amount just to stay the same

Last weeks arrived today!!!

Therefore, whatever those nights are then they become the ‘mandated race nights’ for which riders must be available. If that is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday then so be it.

Why are you posting rational scenarios? Surely this isn’t the place for that!

I remember when riders would travel to an away track when their own team wasnt riding just to compete in the Golden Helmet and second half races. One meeting at Hyde Road Gordon Kennett travelled all the way up to Manchester for a Golden Helmet match race and a couple of second half meetings, could you imagine todays breed of riders doing that?

I’d say a decent amount of fans (I say decent) will turn up, as they’ve been turning up for similar garbage as it is… thus helping this garbage being served again and again.

Never get any meat on the bones to debates on here, so I’ll have a go and people can add their ideas (or not). Norick Will MPT Jake Worrall Jack Smith Billy Budd V Troy Batchelor Freddy Hodder Jake Allen Jody Scott Paco Sam Woods Ben Morley It’s just not doing it for me and at £20 a pop I can’t see us bothering to attend very often

It’s not compulsory to see the same teams over and over again. You could just do the same as the last twenty odd years and watch visiting teams twice, plus cup, plus play offs. Whilst missing four league meetings at the NSS isn’t ideal for the club, they will just have to stomach it. Signing Dan & Brady is seen on here as simultaneously throwing money down a pit and displays greed on the part of the promotion. BSF - have your cake and eat it, on any given topic.

Yes but he was probably carrying an injury, I believe he had an injury mid way through the season and probably did not rest much.

And nowhere have I said riders ride in home meetings only, I have a given a reasonable proposal using Dan bewley and belle vue as an example where he would with cooperation from other clubs be available for all belle vue’s matches, as I said it can be done with cooperation by all sides, will it ? No because of selfish attitudes on all sides and a gap bigger than the channel between the promoters from both leagues

If there is one league there can't be mandated race nights, each team has to ride on the night best for them, or more tracks will close

think there was 72 polish lads for qualifying for polish under 21 title, they will be dominating for a while .

Also no Dick Barrie

Just run one league with the same credibility level that every league has had for years, and years and years?

Oh yes, dear Erica Buchanan who stated "she was minded to accept the planning application" & almost immediately left her post at Rugby Council. As we all know that was voted out by RBC at the following planning meeting.

I cant see the riders being available for any 'extra curricular' meetings, with all the meetings abroad. Id be surprised if they can manage to fit in the 3 home n 3 away

Bradford couldn't even get crowds of 1000 when they won the Elite league, how many will they get 28 years later?

I agree with you 100%. If there is to be one league then it has to be based on and only use riders that are available on whatever nights are mandated as race nights. I don’t like the idea of one league but if that is the only solution then at least ensure it has credibility.

I think one big league is absolutely inevitable (unfortunately imo) However if/when it happens it has to just be what it is from what's available - no making up rules like letting some riders ride in home meetings only etc Something like that is more ridiculous than a 5 team league

thanks @arnieg I couldn't find it on there for the life of me! Some new names on me there and a surname or two that are very familiar - I did see that Rory's lad won one of the younger age groups

Such a natural talent on a bike as well.

Then you are not looking at it properly, you are only seeing a glass half empty approach
