  1. I do believe there could be a way forward for the Club but that would probably mean the promotion would need to move over and let someone else take over the reigns . seems like an idea put forward to me
  2. and don@t forget the gov't forcing HMRC to give tax discounts . just like wembley .all the non football taxpayers pay more for football than it's supporters ever will ..
  3. Good idea . why not give it to Mark Robinson ?. The future would be in no doubt then .
  4. Lets face it . it must be hard to keep your motivation with Robinson stirring trouble at everey opportunity ,and a few idiots listening to his rantings and encouraging him , I would have given up years back or paid somebody to permanently silence him ,
  5. cracks have to start somewhere . amybe the crack got started during the IOW match ? It's not unusual for examiners to turn up with their jobsworth heads on , we once had a bike rejected at peterborough because there was no bolt to stop the chain whipping if it broke , there was no bolt because the latest JHR frames at the time incorporated it into the rear loop ther next day as soon as we wheeled it in to Mildenhall the examiner went straight to it and said you can't use it , Then Tommy Nicholls (Scotts dad ) pointed out the error of his ways . machine examiners have no qualification whatsoever , at an MDL meeting at Scunny a bloke asked me how to adjust ther chain on his sons bike . 4 weeks later he was waltzing around the pits at my local track ,proudly displaying his machine examiners tags
  6. The truth is what you read on the original post , I have no intention of getting into a debate about what speedway is actually like behind the scenes ,with someone who readily admits his/her knowledge of speedway is what he/'she, sees and hears from the grandstand , I have been involved in speedway the other side of the fence for more than 30 years , If you don't agree with any of my post , thats tough because theres plenty who do .and who are far more knowledgable than you about what goes on behind the scenes
  7. No He's the father of an Ex rider ..
  8. Agree with the poison chalice comment but I woudn't put Vatcher in charge of a primary school disco ..
  9. Actually a team place in the NL . commits the whole family 7 days a week . it may only be dad attending meetings , but the impact is on the whole family , mums washing suits and feeding the troops . dad trying to earn a living and clean maintain bikes . just to give the lads a little glimpse of some sort of normal life , no holidays , no weekends off because theres always something needs doing . then theres the team manager who in NL is generally a wannabe asshole who couldn't manage a pissup in a brewery , adding pressure expecting too much . + the back stabbing from other riders , It's not pretty ,, Lads who have come from Grasstrack or MX must wonder what the hell they have let themselves in for , being used to friendly atmosphere . and encouragemant from other riders . riding when you want and not when you don't , and stepping into the cesspit that is the speedway pits !!
  10. yes he is , I should think he has more exclusions for tape breaking and foul riding than any other rider ever has had
  11. and aggresive as well , anyway I'm off , Coco has arrived to approve all your replies
  12. your'e a bit of a beligerent oaf aren't you , have you nothing better to do with your time than come on here trying to create arguments ,
  13. If we were to have 2 ,I think the Cardiff one should be the one when the weather looks most Iffy , NSS is a great racetrack and a GP with the worlds top riders would be some spectacle
  14. First GP In Manchester ? there would be more people asking for odds on a rainoff than Odds for a winner
  15. maniacs who keep knocking people off and busting the tapes because they are desperate , always lose out
  16. I only know of the problems caused by the Rugby chariman , keith ??? . I used to help Dave Ratt ,with the track shop until it closed ,
  17. Do you mean the land midland sports stadiums sold to developers , the Midlands sports stadium that the promoter only owned 10% of the shares to ? and what would you do with his 10 % . invest it into making Coventry the best stadium in the country .,or piss it down the drain trying to run a team without hardly any support ,that had already closed 3 times previously ?
  18. Bradford bulls didn't pay that much in rent , they paid out too much in wages to make it viable , and they were less than keen to let anybody else share even when times got hard .
  19. Most definitley not . I would do it .with a Euro lotto win .and i would do the same to Hull Kingston rovers given the chance
  20. They would if speedway was in a stadium they wanted to take over , If i won Euromiilions I would build a stadium for the Bulls ,let them move in at cheap rent , then chuck them out mid season
  21. Sadly speedway sold it's media rights to Dick Turpin , the reinvestment rate of Turpin via advertising is zero , but the legal threats to anyone wanting to promote the sport using media are top priority . shame that all the sky dosh found its way into Dicks pockets , there, was an opportuinity to reinvest in some advertising to attract people who don't already follow speedway rather than constantly preaching to the converted
  22. I have a friend from france on holiday in scotland for 2 weeks . he has spent this afternnoon trying to find somehwere he can buy a speedway star . do you know of anyhwere ? i think Edinburgh is his first stop tomorrow

  23. So do loads of other british kids , and they all live here as well
