    Looking at Edinburghs stream against Poole they got around 80-100 viewers. That for me would be your average viewing figure so outside companies are a no go.

    But in house is far from easy!

    So, does anyone have any idea of the set up costs ?  I can’t imagine that being cheap

    It’s not the Bandits, or the Bullets, it’s 2 mixed teams, surely nobody wants to watch McDonald v Etheridge and Douglas v Gappmaier? I would of preferred a full NL challenge, at NL prices! Or a full championship challenge, at Championship prices, or an individual meeting with all the riders and a couple other interesting names, just my personal opinion of course, but I don’t think Berwick Bandits are worth £17/18 this season on a track which often offers very little racing, (Plymouth meeting was better tbf) nevermind a watered down challenge meeting, still looking forward to Glasgow, Kent double header and hopefully the Eastbourne double header too!

    It’s a different heat format from what I’ve read, so maybe not top guys v bottom guys,  if paying full wack for this meeting helps balance the books when teams are going ** up then i for one will gladly pay my money, Hats off to the promotion for thinking out the box and putting this on,  Could this be a trial for next years heat format ???

    The club confirm that they will still be using Middlo and/or Havvy as team managers - Middlo having weekend business commitments.

    Havvy also planning to be at some of the Pirates home meetings.

    They should have asked anyone from Coventry or  Berwick about Havvy’s Team Management credentials,   Openly admitted at a Berwick supporters forum that he had never read a rule book and wouldn’t.  The riders did not like him at all.

    You obviously didn’t keep up with that piece of controversy. They paid up front for a large delivery of engines and received just a few at around £18,000 per engine delivered. Real good bit of business !

    18k per engine ?????

    If the reason IOW left the NL was due to lack of competitive fixtures (8 max is understandable) I wonder if they considered (or would have been allowed to) running two NL teams?

    Presumably signing on fees at NL aren't prohibitive so signing up 14 riders would have been too costly?  Would have made it a 10 team league so 18 home fixtures on the Island.

     

    Signing on fees in the NDL :o it’s meant to be an amateur League

    Has anyone seen confirmation of Blair’s average? He joined Scunthorpe in 2011 on 7.20 but only rode 5 meetings. So did he ride enough meetings for a new average (I can’t remember how many meetings you needed for a new average that year but there was a time when it was only 4 meetings) or does he return on an assessed average?

    Having been out for about 10 years, I’d imagine he’ll be reassessed
