Won't get 14 riders as Nora uses 6 rider per team format.  Think the make up is 2 heat leaders, 2 second string & 2 reserve standard riders but not sure if it officially done like that or just a gentlemans agreement as not seen any averages or team points limit announced. maybe someone else can confirm? The 2 matches last year had James Shanes, Connor Coles, Ben Morley, Paul Starke & Simon Lambert take part so good NL heatleaders.

Understood. Onwards & upwards.  🤞

We took no further interest in those places after we were told that and have moved onto other land available 

To be honest I’m not really bothered, I went to the IOW twice last year and will be going twice again this year, I raced for them for 2 years and was one of my favourite tracks to get too, I thought the ferry crossing was part of the fun 

In the main the football foundation & FA look to support amateur football clubs at national level local level.  If your proposal was to use a football clubs ground/facility to incorporate a speedway track, then so long as you were not expecting the club to use funds via the FA/Football foundation to finance the new track or associated facilities then there is no immediate reason why the football club would not be entitled to either apply for new or continue with existing funded projects.  I appreciate I am not aware of the full circumstances relative to your dealings with the two clubs and the devil maybe in the detail, but it might well be worth asking them what the specifics are  as “ground sharing” by itself is not a restrictive issue to funding.   Good luck. 

Could someone who went to the STAARS meeting, tell us what was said? Thanks
