Glad your not picking the team then as Jenkins did very well for us and will improve again next season . Newman still lives in Poole so is very unlikely to be signing for a northern club for a full season.

Your not going to get doubling up-down banned, those that are here now won’t cut their earnings in half and still continue to ride. So you won’t get guests banned either as there aren’t any replacements of the same calibre just waiting in the pits. As there may be less clubs next year that will only exasperate the problem as less meeting means less wages and possibly some ‘imports’ thinking twice about coming over perhaps ? Look at your Bears team this year, how many doubling up? and a couple trebling up ! Now how many times did you use guests ? You can have a number eight if you want one , but he/she won’t get used , they never are, look at the Premiere leagues no.8 rule this year, didn’t work, they even brought guests in and kept the no.8 the same ! Lets hope they come up with something though.

So he/they didn’t stage any but they competed in two matches , one more than the other two teams. Just another speedway idea that wasn’t thought through are tackled with any enthusiasm. -

Are you sure ? I thought Jason Pipe sorted Peterborough matches out as he was moaning how difficult it was to get riders to commit to them. -
So Barry Briggs, umpteen times a champion, was wrong when asked why he signed for Wimbledon saying he needed to learn to ride the tracks he found difficult ?

Armadale Devils v Belle Vue Colts
Fortythirtyeight replied to edmon's topic in National League Speedway
‘ Big Money side ‘ ? In what way ? -
Yes, council own the whole motorsports park and have tried to pass it off previously as there is no guarantee of safety in any council owned land these days even if you do have a lease.
-
I did say FIM who control the strings for ALL GP tracks.
-
Which is basically what I’ve said , and I don’t get the Star .
-
Redcar is owned by the local council although everything on the land is owned by the directors.
-
But as has been said umpteen times, the building superstructures and the dimensions of the rugby pitch mean that it isn’t cost effective for ANY promoter, club or FIM , to try to run speedway at Odsal. As for better location ? It might be for northern based individuals but people travelling from abroad? I’d rather go to Cardiff, despite the rip off hotels and I live really close to Bradford compared to Cardiff.
-
So that’s two hands up for Bradford but as it’s never going to happen for all the reasons covered on here it’s not really an issue.
-
Hands up who would rather have a day and possibly a night in Cardiff than Bradford ?

So not the best 16 riders in the division more of a diluted individual meeting. -

What are the illegibility rules for this meeting ? So many from each club ? As I’m wondering how a teams number 6 gets to qualify for such a meeting ? -

and what do clubs do for the other half of the season ? My local club pays rent for 12 months so 15 fixtures isn’t going to cover it ! -

Try 10 years and a different council and they didn’t find the land either. -
