but that gives no indication as to whether he was for or against the meeting being called off. Which was it?

Any one remember Johnnies Marching Girls at Belle Vue in the 50's and 60's? Johnnie was Johnnie Hoskins. That was a feature at BV for many years. Livened up the meetings, needs something of the modern equivalent to liven meetings up. Make the delay between races shorther (tapes break - straight round again etc), re instate the 2nd half racing. Give the fans more value for money.

Wow ! - 42 euro for a spark plug - obviously got to be something special

What did King do in the WTC in June on a dry track?

I read in SStar that the Leicester boss will not allow Coventry to share Leicester, he knows both teams would suffer with loss of crowds.

I think its likely Darcy will be seen in some other competitive sport as soon as he gets some stability.

Dudek wanted 69 but Doyle already has that, so........ 692 it is. Actually, I got used to the numbering last year. Its only like Moto GP and they been doing it for years.

I do hope Friday turns out good for Coventry speedway (looks a bit bleak at the moment though)

You can assume all you like, this forum is full of assumptions - many of them wrong. What are you expecting as a response..... If the SS news is put back a week....its put back a week. At least we all know its put back a week.........we will have to wait a bit longer.

Thanks for that Mike, good to hear Darcy.....he sounds so positive, which he needs to be. I hope his fund raising meetings are a success.

My apololgies, the question I asked is not pointed in the right direction, so I will re-phrase Before the 2016 season ie NSS opening, does anyone know what the relationship between Dave Gordon/Chris Morton and BSPA was in reality??

Before the 2016 season ie NSS opeing, does anyone know what the relationship between Dave Gordon and Chris Morton ws in reality???

Not necessarily so, his withdrawal leaves 3 to choose from, maybe the choice of 2 or even all 3 is so close it taking time to think it out.

Thats a lot of money to be owed. I wonder if there are other Swedish teams in trouble, or maybe Danish teams. We know one or two Polish teams have their money problems (How much was Emil owed) The face of speedway could be changing dramatically, and it doesnt look good for what comes out of it.

and that is a lot of money owed. Wow.

Longtrack racing demise is a sign of the times, back in the 70's and 80's long track was very competitive and thriving..... so was speedway....... look at them now though.

I dont know the guy not the work he done for speedway, but all the comments I hear on this forum are all good..... so I really hope he has a long and happy retirement, sounds like he deserves it.

If they did "fly around europe" looking at tracks then they did a cracking job - the track is a race track 110% Maybe because Manchester City Council was stumping up the money they ruled the roost, its a large powerful council, and maybe they were more dominant then Gordon and Morton on certain issues.Who knows. No one knows what went on, no one on this forum anyway, so its all guess work, and in the process of guessing the reputation of innocent individuals could be tarnished.

Which year???? Do you mean "next year" as in 2018 ???/

Maybe in the first week of March the weather is more predictable in Gorican then in Manchester.

I had just told you, pressed the like button by mistake, I was looking for the quote button, so I took back the "like" (cancelled it) and then pressed the quote button and replied to your post re crowds not liking the facilities at the WTC at Belle Vue.

Pressed by error, was after the quote button, "the like" has been taken back.

I attended the WTC both nights, in the extra stand erected on bends 3-4 and was absolutely fine. Yes, it could have been better for toilet facilities but it was ok, better next time probably.

Well that should shut up more then a few on here who have strongly condemned Gordon and Morton for carrying on with the Peter Craven Memorial meeting whilst knowing there was a problem on bends 3-4. Clearly there was a FULL practice session lasting SEVERAL hours with Aces, Colts and others taking part. They were happy with the track giving it a and followed by Mark Lemon saying "all problems were sorted and the track was good to go". There is a lot yet to come out IMO, but will it.

WOW !! - I'm just gobsmacked.
