Just giving a bit back, as Pirate fans we have to put up with a lot of abuse and criticism of our track, some justified but not all, even when there is a meeting with plenty of passing which does happen we still dont get much praise.

Loaning against future income in Speedway theres a great idea NOT! It seems to be the case that the issue has been raised quite late in the day by a number of issues with the current bags that do seem to take a lot of punishment , particularly on the first bend. I have a recollection the fence is about 10 years old too. May just be that too many bags have been repaired and in terms of rider safety you can't just inflate a suspect bag somewhere else. As they have no other sport there is it possible to consider a foam fence? One thing that may help Plymouth who since arriving in the CL have had some "high earners" is that a lot of those riders are now retiring and it may help them if they can build a far more solid and compact 1-7 with 2 good reserves and no higher end earners like some Clubs have. You do need a decent number 1 and 2 but someone like Batchelor or Jeppeson might suit them well and then get in a solid 3rd heat leader / second string to compliment Barker, like Jason Edwards as an example who seems to have gone a bit stale at Redcar.  

Surely you'd be better going rr with form Zischke and Blodorn are in?

Brennan? Him and Picko is probably nearly 20points? Plus the other 3 being 14/15 leaves likely 2 2pointers at reserve.  plus a hugely unreliable number 3. Not to mention Ingram would need to improve hugely away from home.  Would be a hugely exciting 1 and 5 and a strong team at home.  Wouldn’t surprise me too much if Brennan returned to the Champ after a tough season. The extra bike time and confidence of winning races often translates into a better season in tougher leagues 

Use a credit card... Do 50, £500 "Gold VIP" season tickets with lots of extras, free bar, free spare tickets, etc, that would raise £25k.. Get a bank loan... It's £46k not £460k...

I was acutely aware of the pain felt by Ipswich fans last winter. Sadly I, and many others, have felt that pain for 10 years waiting for Brandon to reopen. And before the naysayers post that there is no chance, believe me, you should examine the evidence and talk to the team fighting this battle.
