weymouth alicat

I am Northampton born and bred and despite a lack of publicity (although the name and facebook page appearing yesterday) trust me there is a lot of talk locally even from non speedway fans , and in my humble opinion once it hits social media with blanket coverage they will hopefully reach 10000s of people with just 1 click , and once that happens news outlets and local TV will be all over it

yes, me and my son.. I started watching Speedway at Weymouth in the 80s whilst on holiday and travelled the country with them until the eventual demise , I also went to Coventry and Milton Keynes again until they closed too My lad used to come with me when he was young ( he's now 36 ) and we are looking forward to it . It all seems a bit quiet though on the Promoter/ Team/ Publicty front which is strange

the track is halfway between the villages of Brafield on the Green ( A428 Northampton to Bedford Rd) and Horton , so basically in the middle if nowhere

there is an ex Promoter / Team Manager who lives not far from the Stadium .....I wonder ?

very harsh............

tim i think that is a very harsh statement.........and indeed one that also might have a detrimental effect on any possible takeover. Unfortunatly i dont get down to Weymouth that often now , but i can remember the absolute jubilation that followed the planning consent not that long ago,and the amount of support it generated not only from the local area, but indeed nationwide. Why has that support dwindled ? the current finacial climate may be to blame but also sadly an average team (the league position proving that point),complaints about track conditions, lack of facilities,eg bar and toilets.. has not helped. Ime not sure who you refer to when you mention "a great deal of people" but ime certain the vast amount of people who supported the club through the gate when it re-opened post Brian White..would do so again under the right circumstances. What would be sad is to see all the work put in by Jem Dicken, Rob Spicer, John Hawkins, Ray Collins, Julie Martin, Nick White...and also Phil, along with countless volunteers become a fruitless exercise only a few short years later.

oh i forgot you jules................he will need to take photos as well

nice try Wessexboy..........that will be the u 15 meeting then............ having said that.......Bob certainly knows young riders, is a big name in the sport, and riders will want to ride for him, ....he could be the man....... mind you can he do track prep, sell burgers, work the bar, empty the portaloos etc etc

according to the newish Weymouth Website.............the promoter is in talks with a new team manager who is a big name in the sport.............surely it couldnt be ..could it ????

has Rob Lyon said that Scott Nicholls is the captain for this season ??? personally i think Scott needs to buckle down and get some form back and then he may be re-considered

If you take my advice avoid Cardiff Hotels far too expensive .............stay in Newport at a bed /breckie and get a train in to Cardiff (10 mins). Last train back is about 1130 i believe

Thanks for the info Heathen 76 and 2nd bender, car parking wont be a problem as we travel down by train anyway........ thanks again

We are trying something different this year................. to avoid the probs of a hotel in cardiff we are hoping to stay in Newport within walking distance of the railway station and catching a train to and from the stadium.. does anyone else do this and can they recommend any good hotels/ guest houses close to the station . any help would be appreciated

thats gotta be a classic cock up even for this buffoon and not forgetting Phil Crump is Jasons Dad................. and also 3 points for a win , 2 for second and 1 for third.
