Unfortunately you're wrong. I just wish I could work things out for myself but I am totally confused with all the conflicting comments and don't know which to believe.

How can I judge if you are right or wrong if you don't explain what the holes in the statement are? At the moment I'm not sure what to believe so I need persuading.

Can you list the holes then please so I can avoid falling into them? At my age I find it easier letting someone else explain instead of trying to understand things myself.

Thanks Rob. I'll try that tomorrow as we have a Freeview TV upstairs. I'm sure you have misunderstood Lioness because she isn't into taking the mickey, just making an observation I think.

Looks like he was still riding in Germany in 2016 but can't find anything for 2017. He last rode in the UK in 2011 for Somerset and Poole I think. Can he still be called a lad at nearly 33?

Unfortunately I can't get channel 445 without an upgrade to my subscription so I'll have to give it a miss.

I don't see how it can be possible though without the Stock Cars as well and as the owners won't allow Sandhu in the place a return looks pretty bleak.

Yes I have changed my mind as I originally wasn't going but living in Leicester and on the downward slope to oblivion it would be daft really not to attend all the matches I can while I am still able. I think we have got the message now and it is imprinted on my brain the names of those who won't be going as we get told at every opportunity on here and Facebook. Do you really think there will ever be Speedway at Brandon again or if a new stadium will be built? Afraid I don't so it makes no difference if there is a Coventry team riding at Leicester.

You may well be right but I wouldn't use this forum as a guide because there aren't that many Coventry fans on here anyway. 20? 30 if they all come out of the woodwork?

I think it did.......to some fans anyway.

Of course they didn't. Poole only lost because of Jim Lynch.

Not been moaning personally but I AM beginning to change my mind about going, depending on a few things making it possible. I think some others will be carrying on with their stance though as long as Mr Horton is involved.

Can't see Leicester racing on a Monday night being too successful either.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if Swindon's new stadium ever materialises. Somehow I doubt it.

When there is a sun break she can usually read the whole book.

There is a lady at Leicester who always brings a book to read between races. Can't say I blame her.

Jon Armstrong? Blimey how old is he now as he seems to have been riding forever?

Yes sorry Neil I forgot to add that. Adult admission was reduced from £18 to £17 I believe.

No he is just a disgruntled 30 something. Wish I could be around if/when he reaches old age.

2016 wasn't it? Got rid of concessions and made it cheaper for families and students. Would be interesting to know if the idea worked and encouraged more students and children to attend because it certainly upset a lot of OAP's who had supported the Bees for years. Like you say quite a lot refused to go any more but that would probably please SCB with less old people cluttering up the place with their fold up chairs.

Pay back time for being a very naughty boy when he was in the Poole team?

Well, yes compared to the 80's it was sparse but that's the same at all tracks unfortunately. Not helped of course by the fact the camera very rarely shows where most people are which is in the grandstand that holds 2,000 and a lot of people stay at home when it's on Sky.

Not sure I agree with that bit about sparse crowds because Coventry had pretty good attendances compared to all the other tracks ~ perhaps only Poole getting more (if they were on a winning streak) and combined with the Stock Cars it was quite viable. From 2010 onwards though when Sandhu took over with the intention of building houses on the land it was on borrowed time so I suppose I've got to agree it has done well to last this long. Very sad.

I went to all the Leicester matches and Sunday ones at Peterborough.

Thank you. I do watch a GP now and again if I can be bothered and have read good comments.
