Cynical about everything to do with speedway it seems 

No doubt he is,but surely it's personal to friends and family. 

Do agree but he is a lovely little fella

Can't see it personally. Made Owlerton his own last season, think at 2 he'll still prove to be a real trump card at home. On the road may be a different story.

If people don't think about expanding speedway or building new tracks to replace closed down tracks, the sport will die even faster than them in charge are doing now. Remember Poole dispite bringing in the fans has Osborne behind the scene, so you could be without a stadium anytime. Property money talks better than speedway money 

I think you’re talking about three decades ago, not one and the £200 quoted was for two nights in the best seats.  Having said that, prices for all entertainments have risen far faster than inflation, partly due to increased performer payments.
