    Brandon Update

    Looking at the site on Google earth I feel there's room for a Redcar/ Worky site AND some houses. Perhaps if BE were made to build a basic circuit in return for allowing a number of houses it would be a compromise. Whatever happens that big stand will have to come down so what's left would be fairly basic anyway.
  3. i think you're bang on the money here. Torun is apparently sold out but TV viewing figures come into play

    Kings Lynn 2023

    there are a handful of posters who are either nasty, thick or professional trolls. I love this forum but these people depress me, don't have the tools to have an exchange of views.

    Craig Cook?

    we need to be careful - if something awful happens (i don't need to spell it out) one wouldn't want to think they bore any responsibility, the lad is struggling, now is not the time to kick him. I've had mental health issues - luckily I didn't have random strangers berating me.

    Britain's Best Tracks Ranked

    absolutely - without it I wouldn't be here - its where my parents met! For me, its a GP track, just pull the field in where the structure is, bit of work but not as much as Cardiff

    Britain's Best Tracks Ranked

    lovely stadium and track, i went there often, wouldn't say there was an enormous amount of overtaking
  10. if they don't like travel they're in the wrong game
  11. I'm all for riding when its best for the club even if we lose commuting riders, I don't get excited by big names I get excited by good close racing but I'm almost certainly in the minority so its down the plughole we go

    Workington 2023

    where's Honest John these days, used to enjoy his robust opinions
  13. next year - rd 1 Ipswich, rd 2 Kings Lynn, rd 3 Belle Vue. 3 reasonably well attended meetings and no excuses Do it over 3/4 nights
  14. personally i think 2nd wd be ok
  15. correct - which puts pressure on their averages and earning potential. In the past beating a top bloke was an event - Mauger, Briggs, Wilson, Ashby et al used to be virtually unbeatable by anyone other that other top blokes. Ashby in a heat with, say, Munday, Cole and Wakefield Swindon v Cradley , would win at a canter usually with only maybe Persson or Trigg to worry him
  16. you are quite correct
  17. And also, heat leaders would prosper because top riders wd be spread out like they were in the early BL days which is how some blokes ended up with 10 and even 11 averages. That wd make up a perceived drop in earnings
  18. which is yet another expense that needs addressing - one tyre per meeting shd be the aim. Somehow
  19. nice ideas but there's a lot of holes there. Redirecting money from riders? Good luck with that They tried to make it a flagship. league but they still don't turn up and cutting their money will see the end of Sayfudinov, Laguta, Doyle, etc. What you do here is illustrate the massive chasm amongst fans: A - chuck money at it and get the names in or B- live within our means and watch semi pro riders. both have their virtues and both could be the final nail for the record I'm a B.
  20. an independent review is the only way forward imo but there'd be so many toys chucked out of prams it'd be like Black Friday at Hamleys.
  21. looks to me his behaviour was reasonable, the bloke cd have been armed. You just seem to have an agenda
  22. coming from someone who can't spell know

    Just Stop Oil

    "I'll just step in front of these 4 motorbikes as they come round, I'm sure they'll apply their brakes"

    Plans for next season ?

    nowhere near enough attention has been paid over the years to tyre/ surface interraction and revs/ surface. Would be nice if riders had to use their noggins and use the dirt
