Is that an intentional double negative?

Woooosh!

Oh no it isn't.

Don't think he's going to give you any examples of his company's wonderful marketing work. I guess he isn't the one to put the fizz back into the sport after all the bigging it up and bluster..... KKS syndrome

It's what all the young kids are doing these days

To be able to open the following season? If a club started taking on staff at £15k a year, there'd be no club the following year.

Yes he did. But you'll have to read back through dozens of his nonsense posts. Might be tricky since he can't keep to the same ideas and keeps changing his tune There you go....found it for you. Now does any sane person think clubs should "hire a 9-5 website man at £300 per week" to "do nothing but update facebook, twitter, post pictures and videos online, interact with fans and hold competitions"?

I just don't understand why the BSPA (A body of people generally very successful in their own everyday businesses) have declined to take marketing advice from an arrogant Walter Mitty-esque young kid with 2 years IT experience, working for a tiny company, who believes it would be economically viable for a Speedway club to pay £300 per week to a full time employee to update a club website and send out some tweets. ...nope, it's a mystery

I think the bubble has already burst. They've already gone (in a kind of KKS way) from being a successful businessman with their own highly successful (yet amazingly invisible) P.R. and marketing company, to a teenager working as a webmaster in some non-sports related business. Maybe we were all once young and arrogant and thought we knew it all. One day he/she will grow up and realise that despite his/her love of webmastery, the answer to speedway's problems isn't every club spending a fortune on websites and tweeting. Living within our means, cutting back on the fortunes wasted on airfares and training up sub-standard foreigners, investing in British youngsters, and building a better product, is a start on what will be a long ongoing task.

So it's Sky again then...

And that's what currently happens....glad you've realised your suggestion of paying someone a salary that the sport can't afford was a bit daft

Don't get touchy and childish. If you post something daft on a public forum, someone is always going to point out that you've posted something daft.

No. I wasn't suggesting you'd made the daft comment about a full time salaried employee to update websites and social media. I'm aware of the work you've put into speedway, and like most folk, certainly not for a wage that isn't there. It was someone else talking nonsense

Sorry, but anyone suggesting a Speedway club should be paying £300 a week for someone to update a website and use social media is either nutty as a fruitcake or on a huge wind-up. Anyone seen KKS lately?

I think they are. Manzares would be an EL 3.00 because he's never been in the G.P., never won his National title, and never ridden in British, Polish or Swedish leagues..

All track photographers have to sign a licence with Go-Sp££d Int£rnational, which gives Terry the Tan the rights to all images. There's bound to be a photographer on here that can give you more details.

Synikel - A Walter Mitty Marketing guru pretending he's something he/she's not??? Surely not! Are we heading for a "he/she is KKS" revelation?

I think that thinking is a little naive. If there was an out-and-out future superstar in the draft,and Poole had first pick, do you really think they would ignore him just because he lived in,say, Sheffield?

You've made Halsey a busy boy. And Worrall from Lancashire to Eastbourne?

That seems to be out of the window now. Seems a straight draft pick (barring the 4 protected assets). So Coventry with first pick could nick Garrity from Belle Vue's doorstep, or drag Ben Morley up from Essex

Surely you have to be 16 to ride EL. Lambert will still only be 15 at the start of the season, so presumably can't be on the list yet?

It's the exact same link as that between anyone who has ever rowed a boat on the local lake and anyone who has competed for sport in Ben thingy's olympic standard yacht. So what in essence you are saying is that your post about "2 million people having partaken in a sailing activity" was totally spurious. I'm glad you agree. That's the point I was making. Probably very few. But erm....How many of Elephantman's 2 million people who have taken part in a boating activity have sailed an olympic class yacht? I was merely pointing out that claiming millions of people are interested in Olympic yachting because they've been for a sail in a boat, is the same as claiming tens of millions are interested in Speedway because they've had a ride on a bike.

A tiny percentage compared to the number of people who have ridden a motorbike.

Swindon don't give partial refunds. Even though you break forum rules by pratting about with gigantic fonts, underlines and unnecessary colour changes, you still don't seem able to read properly.

If you have prior notice that you're going to miss matches then don't buy a season ticket - it's quite simple! Just the same as if you've a prior knowledge that you might only eat 5 tomatoes in a week, don't buy the discounted 6 pack and whinge when you have one left over. You can't buy a discounted season ticket for 18 meetings, turn up for 5, and then claim your money back for the other 13. That defeats the whole object of discounted bulk buying.
