If it wasn't for the council there wouldn't be any speedway next season and the stadium wouldn't have been built in the first place.

The BSPA have guaranteed that they'll run, in the case of Belle Vue they are to appoint a promoter to act on their behalf for up to three years, this has been agreed with the council and has probably progressed further than we know already.

In my view it's an attempt at survival and I applaud those who have put their money where their mouth is. If every team had two GP riders and the admission was a fiver, you'd still get some khundts moaning on here.

A guarantee in the contract could be negotiated, GM would still have the rest of the Speedway world and access to the grass and longtrack markets.

If you ordered 100 they would be cheaper than that, especially if you were offering exclusivity. Personally I doubt it will happen and the more likely contract would be with JAWA. You never know though, they might all be on electric bikes supplied by Dyson one day.

Maybe, but I wouldn't like to put money on him against Doyle.

"Better than Rye House," are you just trying to stir up trouble?

I agree (I'm not a lover of small tracks) but it gets harder to find and buy the land for such tracks, so we're stuck with trying to preserve what we have.

I remember Reg riding for Bradford at Greenfield Stadium, in the Provincial League. Reg features among many other great names here- http://edinburghspeedway.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/provincial-league-riders-championship.html

Well it could have been quickly rearranged or they could have moved on to meeting number two, both less damaging compared to what did happen.

Exactly my point.

Will they be in a position to spend that sort of money?

What is?

I wouldn't particularly want either of them but if you want your team to bond, you should look elsewhere, no I'm not going to explain.

Well riders get spoiled abroad and expect the same here, whatever the eventual consequences.

Some clubs do agree to pay a mechanic, just as they pay for a hired van and transportation costs.

He wont be allowed to after July.

Are they much cheaper? I gave the address because he said Gerhard hadn't answered his Email.

They should enquire here. http://shop.joehughesinternational.com/joehughes/product.asp?GPN=GTR-500

Well it's a good start, if ALL promoters stick by it, then it could be good.

Well it's already nudged GM into developing a better lubricated engine, so it might well 'help Speedway' if manufacturers are feeling obliged to up their game.

No thank's.
