My memory isn't what it once was but I think that when the City Council granted planning permission for the track they decided what the lighting levels should be. Despite there being no residential property near the track. Those involved at the time will no doubt correct me if I am wrong.

As I’ve said on previous posts lights are simply not adequate for spectator entertainment those who disagree must be blind. Stand on 3rd bend and starts of races are so dark. No money in the sport etc but spectators need to see the sport they pay to see. Put 8 lights on the advertising boatd across start line 2 each gate front and back will make huge difference not difficult and get more lighting closer to the track….?

CO will say not enough support, and submit plans for houses instead, even if he miraculously delivers I won't be handing him any of my money after the way the Abbey has been left to rot and be surrounded by houses.

The Ippo muck up is different in that the new line up couldn't be accepted as it was over the limit and therefore in essence the previous was still in place More relevant is perhaps the RS hokey cokey with Jenkins/Foord Foord was declared but reverted on match day which seems to show it is possible up to when a meeting is ridden Next question is whether a facility is granted for Etheridge if he is still struggling by the time of his debut......

How many meetings and teams has he rode in that 4 weeks  His mentor or manager is not doing him any favours  He needs time great prospect but allready looks to be thinking he's a superstar  Hes young and cocky  Needs to develop slowly 

Depends entirely on how they can cover Ben Cook I'd say. The guest system is an absolute lottery. Agree though, why would anyone give up on top four until it's mathematically impossible.
