I didn't think team suits were even compulsory anymore? I'd be pretty peed off if I'd bought a season ticket expecting to see Harris & Cook and got fobbed off with Tungate and whoever...

When Bomber can ride BP like that it makes you wonder what the hell the rest are playing at!?!

Will Leicester be strengthening up?

Lovely weather for getting them track alterations done

It's just a shame that the, and I use the term very loosely, music is utter toilet

"The Robins chief was instrumental in the preparation of the racing surface leading up to the first five British Speedway Grand Prixs held at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff." ... And who remembers what death traps they were!

Loyalty? I don't think I ever saw him ride for BV at Coventry because he was always riding for somebody else!

Cub scouts?

Lions Pride?

There should be no reason for any match to take longer than 90 minutes. Just because you're in attendance sometimes for over 2 and a half hours doesn't mean you're getting better vfm

Not the most pressing... But it's easy to rectify and a quick win

By my calculations, that's 15 x 4 minutes which equals 1 hour... How the hell is it normally taking them over twice that long then?

R/R as he puts his TV career first?

Was it a financial success though?

You'll be able to read all about it in the first set of accounts

Absolutely not in the short term... But it opens up the possibility to do so in the longer term, the way things were, as has been proved over the decline of the last 50 years or so, big ideas were almost impossible to implement

Rider control? If all assets have been transferred to the company. Meaningful shareholder meetings to push rules through, share sales if an interested party comes along wanting to buy the sport, collective bargaining power for purchasing shale or riders time, spread of profit/loss. I think this could be the most positive step in years for the sport

Will Poole take Zlotys?

The Chapmanship and The Championship

The only way you should have Nicholls back is as a H&S steward so you can open up the whole of the stand for the capacity crowds

I think you're spot on

I think it's more likely the start of a franchising business model

I'm no fan either but the benefit of 1 person owning the whole League or majority at least is that at least if he does balls it all up it can then be sold as a single entity for someone else to try... I think it's quite a positive move. Also regarding the new limited company does "All current business assets will be transferred in their entirety" mean rider control?

Yes, well done you Mystic flagrag, you're brilliant, that's exactly what you said "Saturday night racing and dropping to a weakened Championship"... Just remind me again exactly where you said this... Mystic Meg eat your heart out. What's the next post? "If what I'm hearing is correct some Lions fans are going to love the signing of the new Number 1 and they'll be surprised who's coming in at reserve?" As Venus enters Uranus

As I've said in another thread, I think this may actually be a good thing in the longer term, if Chapman has majority control of the top League (which he hasn't quite got yet) he can pretty much do what he wants. If he does the right things, as opposed to the paralysis we have at the moment he could have a very saleable product in the future. Question is can he get that 4th club and can he then make the right decisions to improve the sport?
