Watched last night on the TV but the previous week's meeting in the stadium and I thought the outside line worked well, and was used to great effect by Pickering last week.

You must have been watching the wrong channel

Its changed and based on a number of visits last season and one this season & is now a decent racetrack. Its benefitted from reprofiling the corners, a change to the banking and having a different track surface.

Kemp did lock up in front of him and the ref made the decision having watched a reply.

I think for a number of those riders would choose Poland. I could see the Aussies getting together and being based near each other to provide each other with a ready made support network.

Teams not team, 2 British and a Danish team.

If the NK happens to be Danish then he would ride in Poland, Denmark and both leagues in the UK. So £100k could be £40k DK, £35K Prem and £25k Champ as only the Polish league ran so actually its not as much as you would think. He is also not afraid to have the odd EU based open meeting so say £2k per one of those he missed out on.

He would be eligible to return on the 12th July 2025

No its a retired sport. Look at the average age of people attending meeting.

Glad it wasnt me thinking the same. I would also say on my experience Oxford, Poole and possibly Ipswich all appear to have larger crowds.

Has he ever been involved at a senior level with a club that has been successful?

Sonny Springer has been using it last season and this season.

I'm not sure that any part of your post is correct. I to spoke to Dave on Thursday. He didn't recognise me. I've known him for 45+ years. At this point I have a very strong idea why the Club are saying he is ill and Dave says he is in fine health. Tragic if this is the case as we lost my Brother to a similar illness.

My prediction for tonight is a comfortable Lions win but by less than they managed on Monday night. Has the draw for the semi finals been made yet?

Stewart has tried to speak to him on numerous occasions during the last fortnight and has been faced a wall of silence. Which is why i guess Cooks Father spoke to Stewart.

I suspect they may have tried the European route before signing Cook for 2025.

I understand the same people are organising Ryan's event which may explain why no online sales which appears madness in this day and age. I am surprised the Club did not insist on it as its no doubt the Club that will get the flack if the queues are long.

The Lions have nothing to do with this issue. The event and ticketing is all done by Ryan's organising committee. I suspect they were not prepared to pay the set up fees or the fee per booking for a one off event.

i actually typed why would they have to pay out the contact? They wouldn't have to pay as no payment is due. And on a second point of clarification I am not a Champ but a retired Barrister.

No I am not. I'm suggesting that by not showing any league racing they would save the broadcast cost and satellite hire costs. The final rights payment was made some time ago.

My understanding based on a conversation with someone in the "meeja" is that their is no minimum number of meetings that they have to broadcast so they could just sit on the rights until they expire and not show league speedway.

Why would they have to pay to get out of the contract? As rights holders they could choose not to broadcast it.

Are you aware that people are now being fined up to £5k for using a Firestick and some poor chap in Liverpool got sentenced to six month in jail for illegal use of a Firestick.

I will imagine it will be the same format as last season which was the highlights from the meeting; which in my opinion is the best way to package the sport to attract new fans.

Quoted in todays PR that Quest will still broadcast a highlights package.
