Gotta feel for Batch - scapegoated on this one 

May aswel go with the youth no pressure on them and gives them valuable experiance, not going to do anything with brennan or ellis.

Tend to agree but a Play Off semi would at least bring a few quid into the coffers An enhanced attendance coukd also encourage Mayfield as to what is possible if they get the product right

I totally agree!! Nothing against Poole but as you say they’ve had plenty long enough now to have signed a replacement rider, so I have zero sympathy that they are finding it more difficult to find a guest. They have been using Harrison and Kennett as reserve guests who are heat leaders at their respective clubs so I suspect they weren’t in a particular rush if the only available riders were weaker on paper than their recent guests. 

Let me look into the future, a planning application will be submitted which will hopefully be refused, then this PA will be appealed then hopefully again it will be rejected. Then it will start all over again, but just how many times will the council reject any planning application, how many times will the planning inspectorate refuse an appeal ?. This is a project which the Brandon supporters can't win unless Brandon estates agree to sell, and i simply cannot see them agreeing to sell at the price the sports group can afford to pay, which brings us around to compulsory purchase this is the only way i can see Speedway/Stocks ever returning to Brandon, if i were a betting man/woman i would give odds of 100/1 on seeing Speedway at Brandon ever again, and odds on 1/50 on seeing Brandon developed for housing.

Will Leicester seek to bring in some better support for the magnificent Douglas, and at least try to provide better opposition to Belle Vue and Sheffield, or will they hold onto hopes that Masters can somehow regain his ability to be a consistent heat leader? Or, have they already accepted their fate and fulfill the remainder of their season, even if it does extend as far as the "grand final"?. Not a bad decision by TNT to give this season a miss. Even Craig Doyle would struggle to sell it to potential viewers.
