Hehasn't ridden since May 2024

No this is where people are getting mixed up, the old agreement does not and would not financially be able to be taken over by the speedway.    Hence that one is ripped up and put in the bin and a new speedway only lease has been agreed at a sensible rate for the amount of use the speedway has at the stadium. Its then up to stadium owners to try and do a new greyhound deal to make up the difference 

It didn't happen due to the weather. However I don't know what richings average is or if its lower than bowtells and if it is does, Spooner could then fit. Spooner currently doesn't have a team to ride for and can not guest in a league match but is also being given the track time he needs. Not all riders without a team place are new to the sport.

The Championship will do them good, and they will learn a lot there.  With Lynn giving them both a  place in the Prem this season, hopefully they stay loyal in the future.    

If it swelled up more or less straight away and in quite a bit of pain, bet it's ligaments, had exactly the same at moto cross a long time ago, did take a long time to sort of mend so obviously hope it's not that for Vinnie.

I would expect a new agreement has been reached for just the speedway at a heavily reduced figure which may suit the land owners aswell. The original lease was for 15 years I believe but I could be wrong on that so the new lease for the speedway might only be short term. Gallard Homes can now say the stadium is not profitable and it will help there case to redevelop the land.
