One of the biggest (non self inflicted), reasons for the demise of the sport for me.... As an example, I ran a supermarket in Bradford with over 30,000 customers, with an 80% "Asian" customer base.. Many major cities and towns have changed demographically, hugely, since the halcyon days of the 60's... And also became filled with commercial and apartment buildings, rather than the replaced traditional terraced residential properties which used to hold "working class" families, who made up a huge portion of the fanbase for many tracks...     

Welcome back tate. Big learning curve last year. Needs to use that experience.    Perfect points left for kurtz 

Tate Zischke announced for Belle Vue.

Viv Muddle will be 16 in February but does he qualify to come in on a 2point average through parentage? . There was a competitor in the Aussie Champs who Dick Barrie mentioned had parentage, not 100% sure but think it was Ben Whalley who I believe is from New Zealand, unfortunately he didn't impress.  I thought Max Perry had lots of potential in 2023 when riding for Leicester Lion Cubs but he hasn't really kicked on so far. I did think our final two may have been Danyon Hume and Max but turns out I was way off 😃. 

Looks like Cordell Rogerson ? has he got UK parentage rights ?

You cant bring the bends in at Northampton, physically impossible
