Starman2006

Interesting words, but the outstanding monies still have to be found.

Not sure it would have mattered mate. Some were clearly punching above there weight. Meanwhile a statement from the BSPA states BV will still be EL in 2017.

Not exactly free mate, they still had the rent to pay which would have been sky high, riders to pay and insurances. would have amounted to a pretty penny. And now with the honeymoon period over.

Oh dear. In the meantime we have nothing conclusive coming out of the AGM.

We held the winter classic several years ago now. All riders were of simular average, and it was a superb meeting, on just a graded track nothing more due to the weather..

Ha ha yeh, unfortunately Rick will never get on stage again, sadly. But i say dont change the Quo. But having been a Quo fan sinse 79 i think after this last winter tour that will be it. Unless francis goes out and does a mini St Lukes type tour. Which i would't mind. Back to Speedway. But they will stil want signing on fee's and other incidentals...

Really, so how do you do that ?

You dont give up do you. He pulled out of the meeting because the injury did not hold up. He's certainly not going to jepardise the rest of his speedway career if he cannot ride. You seem to forget, dont ride dont get paid. Clearly you have no idea or you dont care about the state of his finger..

Clearly football would have more of a pull than Speedway, thing is the product and cost needs to be right. The Midlands have the odd football club, but they must have in mind a club that pulls fans away the most, by trying to get round that, that would be a big big start.

Nothing changes then. Even happening in those days..

Yeh, but he pulled out of that meeting, remember..

I expect so my little goldfish.

Plymouth is a massive catchment are, so you have to do what Matt ford did with us. Go out and get sponsorship. It will not come to you..

Not quite. There is still quite a jump to the EL from the PL.

But you dont know, so lets wait and see.

You cited Matt, what about Wolves and Swindon as you said. So what do you want, a PL style EL ?

Lasted sofar, and yet riders still sign contracts. Must be something in it ?

Theres an answer, leave earlier. Roadworks are a bain of this country now. You wait untill they start on the 40 mile stretch of the M4 from Heathrow inwards next year, you think its bad now !! But the top boys still choose to ride in Poland and Sweden, how does that work..

Do you ?

Delays delays and roadworks everywhere mate, its getting stupid. We've had the main artierial road from the A31 into poole closed right through the summer months sinse july and doesnt re- open untill end of November. How stupid is that. Clearly they have no interest in tourisum.

Not so sure it is a viable option Phil. And people want all the big boys back. Its never going to happen phil, costs are stupid, you know that as well as i do. And we do not have the depth of riders to go round. Unless something dramatic is done with the fixture list. Then the majority of clubs will still struggle to pay the big boys. IF they are enticed back. Which i seriously have my doubts. people nowadays only have so much disposable money..

Thats just the start mate... Why would two want to move up. How is this going to benifit them financially ?

And many want all the big boys back. Not a chance in a million years..

But correct.

Everybody knew when, we got out of the EU there would be lean times. But leaving the EU wasn't just all about money. Getting away from that little pow wow and the clutches of Cameron and that other idiot Osbourne who were both sailing this country down the river without a paddle. But they failed in there attempt to get the vote they wanted from the British people. ah, how sad. By by Cameron and Osbourne.. s We will be better off without those two, the economy is doing ok, but it will not be a five minute job. In the meantime those that voted in are throwing there toys out the pram. Bless.
