Don't think the availability of guests will be an issue.That will be down to the individual riders themselves if they want to take a booking or not..Having said that not too many riders seem to like to take guest bookings nowadays,must be down to their workload what with all the doubling up and other countries.There are obviously some that will,Harris being one.

I was thinking of other reasons really.Wondering why the older generation spend as little time as possible in the town now when once many use to meet up for a coffee and a chat.It is so run down now it isn't a pleasant place. Remember the stadium only went twice though,not being a stock car fan but went to see my mates dad race once.Also to see my mates dog race,not on the stock car track though.

6 billboardsor just posters wrapped around a lamp post.Your lucky to see them in a village just outside Wisbech.I don't think i have even seen one in Wisbech,mind you i do go into town and out again as quick a Lambert around the NA.It's not the best town to visit anymore

With many meetings done during light hours,would any kind of lighting shows have any affect?

No,i think he's at reserve for you lot this season

No one really,just one comment from someone on here and you know how things drift,and before you know it Buster's sold up everything and moved to Acapulco

I too have decided Cardiff isn't for me,just over hyped and over priced imo.

Think you miss the point re crowd levels.There is so much more for people to do now than what we had back 30/40 years ago.Add in the fact we now race midweek,although weekends probably wouldn't make that much difference now with all the different entertainment options for people to do now.Remember for me it was either speedway or a night at my Nan and Grandad's watching Starsky and Hutch or tails of the unexpected.That was pretty much my options,so it would be silly to refuse a night at the speedway.Don't think i could name all the options they have nowadays.

Pretty much like Cardiff to me.Look back at the racing and it is pretty mediocre.But as you say the occasion and bigger crowd makes it seems better than what it is really.

Great post,pretty much spot on imo. Only discussed similar at work the other day,not about speedway but going out in general.It did certainly seem better when going out when we were younger but in truth it is no different now just that we are a bit older and grumpier.What we use to do then seemed so much fun but to do it now i wouldn't dream of it. I have said on the forum before that speedway isn't much different at all these days,just that we have got older.You only have to take a look back at some of the old footage.Watched one the other day with D.Lanning commentating(rip).1984 world team cup,his line after one good race was who says speedway is all about the first turn.So obviously this phrase was still doing the rounds over 30 years ago.But going by a few on here it was wonderful back then.

Wouldn't Riss then become a Peterborough asset if this was to be the case.Imo this won't happen anyway,he will keep speedway at the NA i would think.

I fear the knives will be out quite early from some,just because we have so many early away matches.

Why are people even comparing Hans and Batchelor to any of our riders anyway,bar Lambert.Their averages are well above any of our bottom six anyway so in theory should be better than those.So you couldn't drop any of those on a like for like basis with any of those two anyway.You would have to drop 2 or more.But i bet Riss will close that gap on his average to theirs this season so that would make him the better aquisition.

Got my 42.42 right what I predicted back in early January . Just need to have a bit more luck on my lottery predictions now. If I can I reckon I could tempt Woffy to Lynn

I'm sure Trees whole life doesn't evolve around speedway,but she sure loves her speedway and to that you can't knock her at all. Why do you have to buy the SS to to find out about other clubs,matches,riders,countries etc.It is all available online on various websites.When you get the SS now most know the news that's in there anyway days before the SS is published. Edit: therefused just beat me to it.

Yes Buster is the owner,but i think you will find the naming of the team etc is down to Brundle.I still don't see this as any reason whatsoever for the mess speedway is in this country.

Totally confused by your comment.So now you have to buy the SS to be a speedway fanatic.

You honestly believe the way King's Lynn's team is being announced is one of the reasons speedway is in such a mess in this country.

Use to love our visits to Cradley mainly for the roast pork sandwiches and stuffing.Because all Lynn use to get was a good old stuffing when we went.Although we did get a win once when i went,think that was when Henka rode for us.

Oops my mistake.I put Howarth's average in the top 4 instead of Morris's average.

That's nice.Just because you would prefer nobody to attend King's Lynn speedway.

Going by that,Belle Vue have a stronger top 4 don't they

If that is the case then,it will have to be Toft with Kasper.

Would have been a decent spearhead,although i don't NKI would have been happy with a grippy track again.If we did have Iversen instead of Riss though then you would have to lose elsewhere in the team,say a 4 pointer for Toft or Kerr at reserve.Then you would get people moaning about how weak we are at reserve.Maybe after we get some new averages we maybe able to bring in NKI for Andersen anyway I'm assuming it's a white elephant.6.16 left to play with by my reckoning,with Riss being 6.08 it's near enough a perfect fit.

You will never please everyone.Personally it hasn't bothered me as the season doesn't start for a further 5 weeks for us.By then we will know what's on the menu well before opening night
