Very easy to say, but I wonder how many of the" all in " season ticket holders will support Horton by " putting their money up front again " after being ripped off this year?

More likely that it's a sign of the quality of the employer.

If applied, that would empty the room very quickly I would imagine.

Sounds as though they must have been using the Mick Horton manual on " How to show employees how much their efforts are valued".

During my working life I attended many functions and conventions both with and on behalf of my employers. My wife was always included , and never once was I asked to pay for her to attend. But then again I've never worked for Mick Horton.

Should fit in well in Bandit Country.

They are just getting into practice for the time when they are the only team left in the EL.. They will need a few alternative topics to keep the EL section of the forum busy.

We did, and we are.

Did it also say that any previous experience in speedway management would be a distinct disadvantage ?

Wow !! 5k is that supposed to impress? If it was really important to me I might just find your posts re renting v buying .I recall you were your usual self ,decrying anyone who supported buying , and how you would always be a renter where you could get your new kitchen and bathroom every few years at the landlords expense and that you would be better off than a house buyer. I would just add that like many others, I have bought and paid for my home, paid for my own kitchen & bathroom upgrades, and I still don't need your 5k.

I thought he might dress up in order to" tone things down" a little.

So Havvy has other opportunities. I wonder if it's got anything to do with these guys that are dressing up in funny clothes and going round towns scaring folk.

Weren't you the one who kept telling us that you would never buy a property, as renting was much the better idea.?

The Voice of Reason hardly seems an appropriate forum name for someone who has such a strong dislike of officialdom.

pedantic !!

You are right , he won't be owing money to Sandhu next season However if/when he starts pulling the same strokes with the new stadium owners they might not be so considerate.

That to me seems to be the situation. No more speedway this year unless the dispute is resolved? Whatever that might be.

Very . Until he was shafted by your promoter ( twice).

It's just that the bees have fallen so far so quickly they seem to be heading towards oblivion faster than most right now, don't you think?

Strewth ,,,, that's pushing it a bit too far for me.

Same here, we have friends in different parts of the country that we have met through speedway. We still see them and in some cases go on holiday breaks with them too. We can always have a chat and recall " the good times".. It's very sad to see what has happened to the bees in the last few years, particularly when you consider what a very proud club it once was.

Much the same here. I always felt that things would deteriorate under this promotion, I have tried very hard to carry on attending but to be honest I have become so disillusioned with the way the club is managed I refuse to give them my money. I haven't been to Brandon at all this year and I often think about the times when my social life revolved around my speedway. How times have changed.

Absolutely smack on ! Some fans had this sussed from day one, many are now realising it , a few are still in denial.

I think they call that "trying his best to earn a living" Most people do that.

Depends which decline we are discussing , whilst I agree with your comment the post I replied to was about the standards shown by club officials. There were no problems in that area prior to Mick Horton taking over .
