Thats what your place needs mate, if you do shorten the straights you racing will improve no end.

Mate ive not had the chance to get up there yet, all being well, i hope to get up there this season I do agree with your lack of falls bit as appart from a small scrum on bend one all the riders are able to spread out a bit, and will have more time to plan there attack, there are 4 laps to a race, many riders want to do it all in one lap. I see like Sid, you are a big fan of the old Hyde road track..

Very true, Swindon KL Sheffield Shay Halifax Exeter Wembley were all big galloping tracks, the others may have been at some point but are not now. As with Ackney and Cradley and even Wimbledon White City Reading sadly they now no longer exist.

Thats the thing Sid, you need to get the crowds in to pay your way, internationals and individuals are shared events so the club would only get a portion of the income thats why for league racing they must get the crowds in,, we go back to that Carrot again. Torun is good, and although i didnt really see Hyde rd just bits of footage, but i heard that was superb.

Yeh, but i also think the Abbey is to big. Take 10 metres of each end then you would have the near perfect track. plenty of follow the leader racing there mate.. BV is like any decent good shaped track, you will still get many a follow the leader racing, of course you will get the odd PROPER speedway race the same as any decent shaped track, ie Poole and Somerset spring to mind but because of the nature of the BV track and being so wide riders will feel safer in taking more risks, which applies to any track, if the rider feels safe he will put himself out more. But i just feel some fans are going a little over board. Remember, they will be paying a huge rent to the council, so they need to get the fans in, although i believe that is not always the case, and how many councils are prepared to build new tracks and stadia ?They have been lucky, the best thing they did was get out of Kirky lane. But Its new therefore will if kept on top of be easier to maintain.

28 posts in and your winding up people who have been posters on here a lot longer than you have. BV might be a decent track, but it should be, its brand new and therefore easier to maintain.. But it is also to big. but i doubt you will agree with me.. for which i will not respond. Please consider other posters views.

Exactly, Kevlars Back protectors Boots and steel shoes are a nesessity, but its up to the individual rider if they wear a neck brace. Some do some don't.

The riders USED, to pay for there own Kevlars..

Comic, you still dont get it, do you. Every club in the country will have to make cuts, even yours !!

Anytime soon this season, but maybe not in the future. As i said, we have potentially a very good side this season, lets consentrate on that.. I meant to say maybe in the future.. The team we have this season is potentially very good, but the rider i feel a littl;e sorry for is magic, he was a good servant to the team for the 3 seasons he rode for us. Who knows, maybe in the future we might have both Magic and Dudek riding for us, but at this moment in time im very happy with the team Matt has assembled.

That is the case, but like i said ALL, clubs must dangle a carrot to get people in. Even without that the Sky/BT money should cover any losses.

Thats right, he wasnt going to sign for us this season, but i wouldnt be suprised if Matt did make a move for him in the future. Ignore those who are just purely speculating mate..

As i said, he has to many commitments..

People were talking about the Sky/ BT meetings, not the overall picture.

Thank you Steve, my sentiments exactly..

Something else you. Clearly you make things up as you go along.

Its noit pie in the sky. Matt wanted to sign him, but he had to many commitments. We have a potentially a very good side this season, lets think about that eh..

He had to many other commitments. Dont think somethink that is not there.

Because Dudek didnt want to commit at the time. Brady is a slow burner and will continue to improve. I can not see him going anywhere in the forseeable future.

I would assume the stadium owners, but im sure that Clive will verify this..

Leigh was a class act, he rode so well with Tony in 0-3. Same as Chris and Darcy who's career as you say was horribly cut short. Affectionally know to me as the telepathic turbo twins.

Leigh was also predominantly an inside rider, which didnt really help his cause.

Have to agree with your comments mate. Although i just think the track should have been looked at not long after the season finished, when Glyn had finished what he was doing. It doesnt give it much time to bed in, Snow, we rarely get it down here as you know, the rain wont be a problem it will help ease the base, providing we get a decent dry spell temperatures go up a bit and a bit of sun between now and P&P day. although it wont be this week.. Do i hate the winter nowadays..

I wouldnt go as far as to say a couple of years mate...

They do mate, quite right, but you do need good sponsorship and get the experience by riding the standard, its the only way these kids will improve but not to disolusion them., and thats why i say Dans got to keep doing what he's doing and keep banging on doors. but ive known some kids who have natural abillity and could go far but dont get the backing. Ive not seen this Brennan Thomas ride, but as you say, Kyle Bickerly has the potential.
