no, it hasn't but i just thought with the recent fashion for smaller tracks...the original one was small enough though

Crayford's still there but i understand its too small to fit a track in, wd it be smaller than Plymouth?

Sadly the death of Bernard Gent has been announced. The best announcer I ever heard, bar none.

riding more fixtures remember - and coming up against other top boys less regularly, so yes to a degree.

wd more likely need 5 man teams, but it works elsewhere

pleased for Roynon, was struggling with us but will score more than either Bickley or Coles

needs another 4 teams and I doubt Swindon will be one of them.

i would have thought that was ok

just bumping this -has anyone got any attendance comments? Obviously Newcastle 300 odd was pretty dire. What's happening at your local track? Is anyone actually pulling decent numbers?

behave lads, you've made your points

half way between Newcastle and Teesside. Just an oval field now, no structures, not really viable

we didn't sign Roynon to be a reserve

fantastic

i would generally agree but reading Sheffield's announcement on FB I think we need to cut them some slack

sure its not a tena pad

Steve Park's a good poster, doesn't lie, doesn't BS, direct your ire elsewhere

350 souls at Birmingham, the second city. If its not possible to get more people in, and double that crowd would still be pretty poor, then costs must be slashed. Its a double whammy, poor income, high outgoings. Is anyone winning in this situation?

if they had to run them off a generator you know what would happen to that. I do hope there'll be something in place to keep the twts out

wouldn't be surprised if a change was made

don't think he would fit unfortunately

in reality, the situation is similar to the 6 team National league of the mid 60s. This resulted in the RAC appointing Lord Shawcross to come up with recommendations to ensure the survival, nothing less, of the sport. Can the RAC be asked to intervene again to independently find a way forward? His (Shawcoss) work lead to the formation of the British League (one big league!!) which prospered, led to a Division 2 which equally prospered and led further to a period of great success internationally and domestically. The problems any such commission would face are quite different to those in the 60's(rapidly diminishing audience and environmental concerns for two) but would at least be independent and dispassionate.

he talks more sense on here than many

despite what's said on here the bloke has obviously lost a shed load of money

once you get a few competitive meetings the crowds will soon forget the big names, in reality they're not here anyway

I like Bukhave
