Word is, he felt sorry for them, with only 3k crowds, and delivered the scrapings from our air fence. Go fund me to follow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he would be well happy with 2k tbh. He always has plenty of shale and water at hand though. What i meant was with 3k fans, surely Ford could spend a bit on the track, making it a better product for all the loyal fans that keep turning up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget Pirates have hefty stadium rental costs which neither Glasgow nor King's Lynn have, so it's always about balancing the books. Incidentally Danny Ford is quoted in the local Echo that he was very pleased with the track v Glasgow after all the work that he and the track staff put in. (NB. Don't shoot the messenger, simply quoting from the local newspaper)!😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get a long lease from the landlord then they would spend more on the track. They would like to widen the track onto the old dog track, but when your landlord won't give you more than 1 year at a time it would be financial suicide to do so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the speedways own fault, the stadium was up for grabs a few years back they chose to go for the easier cheaper option and let Clarke Osborne take the stadium , do the required work then rent from him, no good whinging now,fact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
