Is anything happening at Arena Essex or has that been flattened for housing also ?

I think we just have to accept the days when 90% of the big guns rode here are gone, however it would be worth having a push on the SGP2 lads there are some great riders coming through the ranks and they may be tempted to the UK for 2-3 years to learn the different types of tracks over here whilst they try and work their way to the top.

I'm getting muddled in my old age Bagpuss so the Jubilee cup is still as big a myth as bigfoot and ufo's ?

I had forgot about Lawson I wonder where he will end up in the 5 team top league ?

Would love it to happen Iain but M.D has said many times its not going to happen and he should know better than 99.9% of the population.

Totally agree Mike but we both know at head office your quips are "plan a"

You also missed off the jubilee cup where from memory leg 1 was staged at kings lynn and leg 2 is awaited in the same breath as "the godfather part 4" and 'the long good friday part 2"

We can but dream

Agreed eye watering risk level and even if there is someone willing to risk dropping £100-£200k on one season . The other big question is who will they actually get to ride for them given from the handful of top riders that rode in the UK this year Emil, Woffy, Doyle have all said they aren't coming back. So you could end up risking six figures on an unknown venture with a Birmingham like team plus if to believed no tv money either to offset part of the loss.

Harry actually putting a shift in Dean ?

Good call Bagpuss I'm all for giving a youngster a chance who might go a fair way in his career in five plus years rather than a rider who is older and seems to have peaked.

Never , but if you have a different view when most clubs are struggling I'm all ears.

Thanks Arthur

If it is Northampton whoever takes that on is going to need uber deep pockets and not blink at writing off six figures at the end of year one, really hope I'm wrong but its got financial disaster written all over it. Will need another Tolley type who can just write out cheques every month to cover the losses without worrying.

Always going to be that risk with any half decent youngster more so when this one other league and Poland only comes in.
