Just make sure its shale and not sand. Dont mention sand to Ronnie, he goes green...

Good, and thank you. Thats how it should be. You have to dangle a carrot and make fans feel appreciated, the majority of riders will take time out to appease fans sign autographs and talk to fans, yes they have a job to do, and when they get in the zone thats when you leave them alone. But the promotions have a duty to make fans feel welcome, and thats how it should be. Today the carrot works..

Ha ha, i somehow doubt it..

Now that would be a brilliant idea, if someone and a couple of rider pundits can front it. Could always ask Gary Lineker..

Its down to the individual promoters to promote there club, Matt ford does it at poole, why cant others. Reguarding the TV deal, Phil rising says there is one in place. please see my post above. Its not rocket science. you need to dangle a carrot..

Perhaps time for new management and a fresh approach..

Thanks but we should be fine this year, it just needs to be kept topped up, and Red shale is not cheap.

We used Red shale mate, the problem is much of it goes over and under the fence,. Ideally you would need to give it some decent depth really you would need 50 ton of shale. then keep topping it up throughout the season. to get it out from under the fence you need free staff and people have to work, its also a dog track and the staff work on that.

Please elaborate..

Thats why if you knock it down to a tenner for the Sky/ BT meeting people will go, people will not pay £17 a throw when its on TV. End of the day the club will still get the payments.

Turn one and two have been completely taken up and will be re- laid, turn 3 is better than it used to be, turn 4 had to much excess dirt on it. you will see a big difference this season.

But they would have got payments from Sky, so they wouldnt have lost a whole lot. Perhaps when Sky/BT are in town the promotion do a tenner for that meeting, dangle the carrot..

Those small amount of promoters should think themselves lucky we have a TV deal and they will get something out of it.

Hi mate, im not really sure, I know Neil will be helping but whether Gerrald or Glyn is helping i really dont know.

So do we, 7 league titles since 0-3 Nah nah nanna nah..

Glyns a decent bloke and will do a good job, as i said, the forcast for today is good, suns out, friday and saturday are also forcast the same. You want to see a nice flat slightly banked bends all cambered to let the rain run off and that will be good. As Alan H said, bends one and two have been torn up and will be re laid, not so much bend two but bend one definately needs doing. And if Bald bloke is right in his assumption then it shouldnt tear up as much, although it will still be the most used part of the track.

I suspect that might be a posibillity, as you say might make tape infringments hard to see. Im not so bothered about tight finishes, as you dont see many of them nowadays..

Good point Bob..

Your top sentance is what i said, but you do make a valid point there after.

No its not, very hard to keep that section of track rut free, thats probably the most used part of the track. be interesting to see how a longer run to turn one goes.

Ok thats interesting, bend one needed pulling up and re laying but really that area needs to be dolled off when its done so nobody goes on it. Intersting to read startling being moved back 10 metres, makes it a shorter home straight, but a longer run to bend one. I wonder what effect that will have ?

Yep thats him, knows what he's doing.

That will be good mate, but i'l be suprised if much got done today, as you know it hissed down all day you would make more mess than good.

Thats him mate, comes from Birmingham. Decent bloke.
