Yes it was good Steve, even for the short period i stayed for because im still not fit enough to do a full evening. Thats good to hear the diggers are coming in. But for me i have 2 observations, 1, turn one wants taking up and relaying, and left completely dolled off, 2, we need to continue with proper red shale, it binds betterthan anything else. Otherwise the track just needs smoothing out hoeing and cabering., so any substantial rain get into the track and drains to the inside.

Ah right, ok

Mate Giles is ok, he has a wicked sence of humour, but his heart is in the right place. He does an awful lot of work for Matt since poor Pete Ansell sadly departed. work that was not always easy. I think such departure was circumtances.

Hi mate, Worcester has a massive grandstand as you will know. I have a stratigy when i go to sandown, parade ring not just to look at the horse i fancy but the others to. especially on the flat first time out finess wise. then bookmakers if im having a bet then vantage point top of the stairs in the middle of the grandstand, like worcester you will and do get a superb view. especially Sandown, you can see all over london..

can i have eggs sausages and beans with that please Steve...

Very good mate... Thank you Danny, much appreciated. hope you are well ?

Thank you, so do i..

Well it does and it doesnt to be honest, look at the coverage football gets compared to Speedway. especially when sky took on football.

Yeh they can mate, but as i said, the weather plays a big part just as working commitments do. We know it rains a lot in Manchester but this is the same country wide. All clubs im sure you will see have empty seats at some point, but im sure those seats were paid for just the occupiers dont turn up for what ever reason. Which doesn't help the casual fan who would like to go.

Thank you Bluepanther. Yeh the weather wil depict who goes and who doesnt, but in the main, especially in the premier league grounds are pretty much a sell out. I mean, i would love to go and see Bournemouth at some point, but you will never get a ticket for love nor money, unless you know somebody who knows somebody..

Oh Steve that was a big below the belt mate. Seriously, speedway needs all the fans it can get. Thing is, speedway is not promoted like the way football is. Look what happened to football when sky started promoting it..

Thank you Booey Boy, much appreciated..

Thank you Hyderd, so do i. ive been in a nightmare for 8 weeks, and i just pray it comes back clear. Ive had several MRI scans its not being put in the machine is the problem, its the 30-40 minutes duration of clunk clunk clunk, chugger chugger chugger. they are a wonderful inovation, they can see EVERYTHING, xrays are good, but these are different class. i still remember seeing the first MRI scanner being lowered through the roof into place at poole. CT scanners are an advance on xrays. good detail but not in the class of an MRI scanner.

Yep step by step mate, and like you i hope the scan comes back clear. the tumour was completely benign and was all removed nothing had spread, the scan will take about half hour in March. MRI scans are noisey so out with the ear plugs and ear muffs.. Half an hour of clunk clunk clunk chugger chugger chugger,..

Yeh.. this country has gone political correctness mad.

Good point mate, but i expect we will have extra banners made for the centre green.

Absolutely rediculous whats wrong with adding a bit of glamour to the procedings, political correctness gone mad, what is the world coming to..

Im sure a lot of clubs will be in the same boat mate, every club will have to cut costs. Every club has to be accountable for there own actions, and if it means going back to Bibs and ditching kevlars then so be it. We still have a lot of loyal sponsors at Poole, and also a main team sponsor, so its not all that bad.

He can mate, thats all that will be required of him. If the others come to the party and forfill there potential which i would like to think they will, then they can carry him. But like i said, im pleased he has another club/night it will make him a better rider, and we hopefully will see the benifit.

Thanks mate, everything going slowly, days are good nights still a bit dodgy. Plenty of worms in my head, nerve endings still a long way to go, but i have the scan on march 12th, and i will be a bag of nerves..

Im pleased that this has now been anounced, it was a no brainer for the lad. The extra meetings will do him good and make him a better rider as ive said. Welcome back James.. We have a premiership title to win !!!

Im sure it will be James mate, but i would suspect he's looking for more sponsors Sheffields a long way from near Dorchester/poole. And even though Matt has offered him a bit more he's still on limited points money he will need more help.

I agree Steve, it can only be good for British speedway in the long run.

Thank you Sid, im working hard to get better, the days continue to improve but the nights are still iffy, Have the big scan in Marc, i will be a little shaky. The problem this country has is the money situation Sid, to attract these big names back you would need sponsors to chip in to pay there points money. Very few clubs can afford it now. Thats why im guessing the 8 pt rule was brought in..

If CVS confirmed that Steve then thats good enough. We still have a splattering of top class riders here tho, but a few more wouldnt go amiss, providing there pay demands are rasonable.
