THE DEAN MACHINE

It will be cheaper to buy a new box than have that one recommissioned,nobody really repairs them these days,trackspark sell them for around £260 new

I really don’t care anymore

Yea yea if your that worried get a VPN stuck on it, millions of people in the uk use illegal firesticks , you don’t even need a firestick if you have a app TV

Just gets a firestick, sod Eurosport or whatever shambolic name it calls itself these days

Slight change of track but I went to Somerset on Friday and went on to the oak tree arena site, they have a greggs, McDonald’s, screwfix and ford to the right as you drive in off the main road now and the old bar on the first bend is an energy company’s office now but they havent touched where the track was,you can still see the outline on google earth, so why couldn’t they have kept the speedway there ?

If you don’t ask you will never know

Perry Barr are moving this year, I believe monmore will follow in next 2 years

Has the speedway star ever done an honest few pages on the people who run the sport track record? that would make a really interesting reading, speedway’s demise is 90% self inflicted, Osbourne as immoral as he may be is a business man and his business is in a far better state than ours

Said it before, Clarke Osbourne is a business man and he does what business men do, if speedway got its act together and actually turned round some sort of profit Clarke Osbourne would be on our side, you may not like his methods and he certainly knows how to manipulate councils etc for his own gain but he is a business man and his priorities are to make money, he doesn’t break the law, too many fans have faith in councils, they are just as deceitful as Osbourne but ultimately the sport itself has to take the blame for the state that it’s currently in

The answer is just buy BSN and forget about Eurosport, BSN is a far superior product anyway

Just a little post to say wolves fan Tania fellows (tubsy tubs)has passed away last Thursday,she was a massive wolves fan and sponsored quite a few riders from me, Adam skornicki, Adam Ellis, Ryan Douglas, Ashley morris to Kyle howarth and others and was well known around the wolves pits giving the riders haribo sweets before meetings,Tania was a good friend to not only me but a good friend to speedway . RIP mate 💔

Good signing, really brought out the best of him last year when he was brought in to replace Doyle

Yes it possibly should be Phil Morris’s job but he seems to be in the dark as everyone else, as I understand it the lease goes up to £150,000 after the dogs move out,which is ok if you have a free reign on the use of the stadium but apparently you don’t, it comes with major restrictions, which as I said earlier sounds like they want the speedway out to sell off the stadium but getting the speedway to make the decision themselves by making the lease unworkable, putting 2 and 2 together I believe there were plans to move the Cardiff GP to Alexandra stadium and when the track is installed maybe Bham would move there but that didn’t work out

I have spoken about this before but speedway needs to consider becoming an amateur charity like sport and it would then get tracks built like althletics, bmx, cycling etc built for free as part of projects like this commonwealth games left over money,with good accountants riders could still earn a living from the sport,we have to start thinking out the box, at the moment from the very top we have a shoddy at best working organisation running the sport, there should be a go to manual/protocol for any new potential promotion to turn to for when they meet professional planners who have questions they need answering, there isn’t one, how amateurish is that ? The bspl/scb don’t answer calls or emails and when you finally get a reply they don’t have answers like what’s the decibel reading at 150yards from the bikes, these are questions planners ask and the sport doesn’t have them, there is no go to person and quite frankly it’s pathetic for what is supposed to be a professional sport and this is why you get residents turning up a planning meetings saying “I’m not having hells angels riding up and down my road all hours of the day” we know it’s not like that but people outside the sport don’t and this is why there should be go to protocol for these planning meetings
