  1. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it's around £3k per televised meeting. Would hardly cover missing fans i'd say ???
  2. I meant the start line has been moved back, so the starting area is different to the old one, that had no doubt been packed and ripped up loads of times. I meant not dialled into the new starting surface. I think you thought I meant not dialled into the track. Maybe I should have worded it better Starry Or maybe i'm reading your reply wrong
  3. Could the gating thing be down to them moving the start line back. Home riders can't get dialled in as its a different surface than they was used to before ? Just a thought.
  4. That's the way forward for British speedway... … I know you have your rod out again, but you are the weakest link.Goodbye
  5. Well MMF was thinking it a soon as the news came on the forum. Does Ford have a love child..
  6. I think if you look back, the only fans looking to benefit from this....before it's confirmed is Poole fans.
  7. We agree on something. We can't afford to loose any teams
  8. If your quote is word for word,and it is before SS post , then it seems SS jumped the gun. Probably right,but still a jump..
  9. To be fair, he said it was from a very reliable source. Nothing concrete...But seems it had some truth to it.. The reason people don't like Poole a SOME of their fans, is they think like Ford.Will bite you one day..Maybe sooner rather than later
  10. Anyone talking of anyone in the Rye team being available before any announcment is bad.So far it's a few Poole fans......
  11. Oh, OK..I'm sorry, you didn't have the July 1st in mind...Re Rye house riders. I've not even looked if any Rye riders fit for Lynn.
  12. Another, think of winning at all costs Don't matter if there's 3 in the league as long as Poole win it....
  13. If Lynn want the plays offs, they have to replace Kasper who is on a 4.00. Maybe it's a year or 2 to soon. Even Kev Doolan, until the end of the season.
  14. I wouldn't think of it out of respect..But it is Poole
  15. I can't see anything but one major league, and the NL.. Teams just can't afford to pay riders as they do now. The crowds don't allow it..The pay in Poland is such that the top guys are asking big bucks (for the UK) to ride. Take Lynn. Bangers/stox attract good crowds.Maybe £14-£15 to get in. Not far off of speedway prices. The drivers pay to drive !! .The winners get a £10 trophy...and a lap of honour. Meetings last 4 -5 hours...Pretty good VFM..The kids love it. If it wasn't for this I suspect Lynn would be in trouble. We have got to cut our cloth accordingly. Some riders will say that the money is not there, so they will have to earn elsewhere. Some supporters will turn their back... If it is a semi pro sport at first then so be it. If you cut down rider costs(in the uk),some will work for less money. My mate, hes 58 now lol, says you can ride a Weslake all season and service it twice !! ..How many meetings back in the day where great with the lower powered bikes. Still good racing, and you could have dirt on the track..
  16. Only 2 leagues next season.A big one and a NL one. The whats called championship now used to be a huge league. It's dwindling away. One top league and £15 maybe ?
