November 16, 201213 yr £50 still sounds prohibatively expensive, we struggle to get people down here to pay £10 and i thought Scots were supposed to be tight LOL, to me but i'm glad an agreeable compromise has been sorted out. A triumph for democracy.
November 18, 201213 yr 5 pages of posts! Just shows you the reaction you get when you try to get a couple of quid off a trials rider So we think 'no change' is a result? No wonder trials in scotland is in the state it is.

November 18, 201213 yr Mark, how would a £150 a year (or more) license improve trials ? If the money was put back into develpment and promotion it would. I'm not saying that the SACU of old would be able to deliver that, but if they change into a body that truly fosters and encourages motorcycle sport they could. But if they dont get the chance we will never know.
November 18, 201213 yr Author "But if they dont get the chance we will never know." What will change ? The Alberfeldy & Loch Lomond of old will not re-appear. Trials in Scotland have not changed much in the last 30 years, faces have dis-appeared, then re-surfaced. (except Big Phil) What is the dream I should buy into ?
November 20, 201213 yr Overthehill has made some very valid points there. Many other sports are now investing for the future. There is a bigger picture with Scottish Trial sport, it's just a pity some people don't really see it. Big John
