THE DEAN MACHINE

Looks that way

I did ok financially out of the British league cup in 2003, riding meetings for wolves, belle vue, Poole and Eastbourne, replacing the top guys and getting a gaurentee each meeting for scoring very few points but I was no British youngster in 2003, I was 34 😂

The cook situation is interesting because he will need a visa to live and ride here and it will be the uk team who will sponsor his visa and yet he can just swan off to Poland whenever he feels like it a give the uk match a miss

The question is could the bspl find anyone stupid enough to pour their money down the drain to run Oxford in the top league after the struggle of last year simply to prop up their deluded premier league numbers ? If the answer is yes then the spires it is then

I don’t know, got to be honest this latest news has sort of knocked the wind out of my sails and at this moment I’ve got no appetite for British speedway at all

A few weeks back me and another person contacted entain via monmore green to see if there was any chance of getting wolves back at monmore,nothing to do with the previous promotion, there was a plan on the email which I won’t go into but we spoke to the manager at the stadium who told us it wasn’t the stadium who kicked the speedway out it was entain themselves, he told us to write an email to entain and he would forward it to the relevant people for us, we had a reply today from entain via the stadium manager and it’s a NO 🥲 at this present time, sorry wolves fans, never give up

Leicester was but the BSPL statement was the day after me and I don’t care if it was me or not the point being its disrespectful from the bspl

A couple of things that I have been mulling over the last couple of weeks is, there has been no official statement from TNT discovery saying they are not covering league speedway and on there FB page TNT bikes they showed a bit of footage from kings Lynn on the 21st dec and the lack of communication from the BSPL to the fans has been appalling and disrespectful and yes this is blowing my own trumpet but I believe the only reason they put out a statement a couple of weeks back was because I called them out for it on the speedway 360 podcast which I know they watch and the next day they put a statement out saying nothing really but it the silence has been disrespectful to the fans at best

And the most worrying bit about the whole sorry affair is the BSPL don’t seem to see it

While fans crow about woffinden dudek laguta, madsen and riders like that not riding in England, we should really be looking at riders like woryna, drabik, buckowski and locatiev, these type of riders while not exactly are at the top are all action out and out racers who don’t give an inch, I love watching these riders in the polish leagues and would love to see them over here where I believe fans would love their no nonsense racing

I am waiting on something but it’s not the size of my garden 😉

Could be Oxford but not run by Oxford themselves, I know somebody was asked to run a team out of Oxford but declined, so they could of found someone else to do it

So reading the latest Rye house statement we can rule them out of the 2026 runners and races, Eastbourne out too, if there is a 6th team realistically at this point it has to be a current championship team running a premier team too

But only if they know what’s going on and I beginning to have my doubts

I agree, I worry the premier league is going to collapse before we even get to the playoffs

Remind me never to go to a casino with you 😂

I’ll go for Buxton 😂

Only 8 days to go

MD is your Eastbourne man

Said nobody ever in a viable business or who has any sense and the money to back it

There is NO chance of Eastbourne happening,doesn’t matter if we think it’s the best option or it’s scandalous that there is a track not being used it’s not happening end of story, it has been tried on numerous occasions since it closed and this year is no exception,Peterborough being asked is just one of many desperate measures that have been asked and believe me some ideas have been ridiculous, at this point it’s what’s possible not what we would like,

It’s more than money, it’s owned and run by 2 former riders and they still don’t want it, tells you it all really, there is a family dispute in the background and until that’s resolved it’s going nowhere and even if it was just about money who in their right mind is going to pay someone else’s debts off just to start from scratch, that’s financial suicide

I’ve spoke to 2 former promoters recently who have looked at it and have both said the same, it’s too much money with no gaurentee of a fan base

Yes they have, you would assume the £150,000 is the cost of getting the track fit for speedway

Again nothing is going to happen there in the near future
