Producing ANOTHER Programme MAY be preferable, but it may also, over a Season end up closing your Track because of even MORE Financial problems than they have now. The Government 'Cuts' have not fully hit yet - that is without the ones planned over the next few years. I believe that Promoters should do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to keep the Sport going. If dishing out an old Programme helps with this - GREAT!! :approve:

I agree with that part of your Post. It would be nice to hear from some of the so called 'lesser lights' now and again.

I think that Promoters these days have little choice but to 'recycle' the Programme. Programmes must cost a fair bit to produce - particularly the excellent Magazine Programme available at Newcastle. Just throwing them away would be financial idiocy. A fact of life we have to live with I'm afraid.

Thank you for that screm. I knew he had a fall - but - I had no idea his injuries were so serious. I hope that he returns both fully healed and rested. Injuries - a part of the Sport I don't like.

So does Kelvin in my opinion. I don't happen to think that Briggo is ignorant either. In fact I reckon that they are more in 'The Know' than you are. Remember they are BOTH former World Champions in different disciplines.

Well said Sir.

Engine Tuners seem to be the only people making money out of Speedway these days. Time to go back to Engines that can be maintained by the Rider/Mechanic. Awaits Flak.

Is that not Racist? :rofl:

I must have missed something. What happened to Ty?

I hope he' right - BUT....................................................

Looks like it. :sad:

Because the Land available seems to be suitable to fit a Speedway Track in to the Development. Whether it would be supported or not - I don't know, whether Planning Permission could be achieved - again, I don't know. All Chewbacca asked was why no Speedway Track is being considered - a fair enough question in my opinion. These days it is so very difficult to open new Venues due to Planning Permission, Noise restrictions etc. Here is a place where Planning Permission for Motor Sports must be in place, IF the Planning Permission included ALL Motor Sports then Speedway could possibly be an option. Worth investigating don't you think? I Posted before I was able to see this by SCB. Not knowing the Geography of the place I now understand that it may not be such a great idea after all - however Backless - Chewbacca had every right to ask the question.

If you don't support it - you will lose it. :sad:

Great to see Sophie back. :approve:

Very fair question that.

This seems to have been going on for ages. Come on guys - it's our Forum - it's supposed to be FUN - no need for personal attacks. I have to remember that myself at times.

I hadn't realised that. Thank you for your Post. :approve:

I would rather see Richie Worrall given a go. A bit early perhaps, but at least we could judge his progress against the World's better Riders.

?????

Ahhh - BUT - it would have been the CORRECT Result.

Of course there is BW. They say they want to 'make the Meetings closer to maintain excitement' - what is that if it is not contriving the Score. It is a contrivance to ensure a closer Result which ever way you look at it. Jolly good Post arthur cross. I could definately live with that. So you admit that there is 'contrivance' in the current System BW. At last.

You are right orion. However it changes my b****y temper very time it comes out - for whatever Team. It certainly spoils my enjoyment of a Meeting and despite what others say on here - it really DOES effect newcomers attitude to Speedway. Mickey Mouse.

Probably. Seriously - I don't know - good question though.

Oh dear HT - you were doing so well until wrote THAT!!! :angry: "Keeps more Meetings alive" in a CONTRIVED way you mean. (If you don't like the word CONTRIVED you could substitute FIDDLED, CONNED, ROBBED OR CHEATED the Supporters of one Club or the other in the Meeting). :mad:

Entrance to this Event is Ticket Only - there will be no Pay at the Door facility. We have to be sure of Numbers beforehand.
