its not being renovated just tarted up just like when the rugby made a big song and dance over its big make over they got a 2nd hand digital score board that was place at the wrong end of the ground and was tiny compared to the big wodern 1 everybody looks at they got new seats in the grand stand spent a lot of money on paint and money on floodlights that now shine directly on the pitch funny thing when the speedway wanted to upgrade flood lights town claimed they didnt need them so any upgrade was down to speedway but if you went past derwent park on rugby training nights the floodlights were always switched on ?

prem league was a very good product when points limit was 45 the only difference to the cost is the fees teams agree with there riders if the points limit is 36 good riders on 5point averages will demand more money than if the points limit was 45 riders on high averages will have to ride for less as there will be plenty wont get a team place so the higher riders will be compeating for team places

i believe tony rickardsan challanged it before he retired from british speedway his parant club didnt want him to go out on loan and tried to block it untill rickardsan thretend to go to court using the bossmon ruleing that came into football might have a few details wrong as it was a while ago also the reason riders are free to sign for other clubs on loan is the system is that way as there is almost no loyalty in speedway riders changing clubs and clubs not wanting riders back

if redcar made a true profit then i suppose we must congratulate them regardless of any personal feelings for team or management

that wont cover expenssess and provide enough income to live on must have another soarce of income or have good family around them suerly theres no riders still riding that were around riding in 1976 thats 40 years ago would make them mid 50's at best or are you saying they earned 300 to 400 in 1976 thats a lot of money but a totaly different ball game and cant really be compared i know people that earned 300 a week 25 years ago but now earn minimum wage

24 league meetings say 10 to 15 in other comps guest bookings ? it is possible to bring in £40,000 over the season if there on close to £100 a point but over half that figure would be lost with costs so earning less than most of us earn before tax

you may know the figure the club gives out but they will also get a big chunk from personal sponsers and the bigger the player is in the public eye the more personal sponsership they will have

where i work im on more than most others are on but i dont discuess it that much the same will happen with speedway riders as allready said its not that simple some riders might get part payment from club and a sponser might pay so much aswell then there is other things that could be taken into account like do they just get points money or does the club pay for accomadation or a van its very hard to say whos on the best deal and it deiffers from club to club

this is what ive been telling people but they wont listen im sure a few clubs future will depend on the agm this year

id go for may start the season needs to be compressed and regular meetings no long gaps in home meetings where did you hear this no surprise as he definatly upped his game last week maybe some of the rumours regarding hansan were correct

tried the £10 entry in the past and said if enough increase then it would stay at £10 it did increase but not by enough but i do agree with you speedway is a £10 sport all the other cost need to reduce to acomadate that fee if the rumours im hearing at correct theres 4 elitte clubs that are in danger of closing or dropping out of the top league as it stands belle vue are the biggest team im hearing reports off nothing new hearing belle view are behind with rider payments amongst other tales

beat me too it

reserves from both sides are the key i would think

if its the one im thinking off no he didnt get it but we know how tight tony mole was would think its down to personal contracts i know some definatly dont pay it

id also like to say to all plymouth fans and others involved i feel for you hope you continue to follow speedway in whatever form you can you wont be the only club to go under if things dont change quickly

very good team man never heard a bad word said about him

sorry not a good enough excuess everyone knows ht 15 is nominated and SHOULD be 4 riders at first attempt of start if redcar were in with a shout of winning something then im sure a rider would soon pull a bike out of a van to be at start line

mainly dry today had a couple of fairly small showers but they were big drops looks ok so far but if that comes down for 10 mins or more we could be in trouble

he has something but ive never seen him produce a performance that backs up all the hype about him seen him about 5 times in total so i might have seen his worst meetings but sorry i was left feeling let down by how people sung his praises there isnt such a thing as a pointless meeting maybe not much to aim for but it should still be entertainment if not they shouldnt charge to get in

it has been raining around the area not heavy but enough to cause visability issues rather than bad track conditions i was in maryport earlier and it did put down a slightly heavier shower for 5 to 10 mins the threat of rain is in the air but sofar just strong winds and little light rain

if only more were as honest and genuine as you paulco always find your posts sensible unlike some others on the forum that dont have a clue

and josh also looked like it from where i was but ive been wrong before from same place danny phillips went better than i thought he would too be honest he didnt look too bad

didnt see any reports from last night

why was simon stead missing

shes a bit deflated again i think or is it defeated
