THE DEAN MACHINE

D a 6th team not mentioned brought back ?

And throw away their local meetings with Edinburgh, worky Berwick and even Redcar, not a chance, the current situation that the premier league finds itself in isn’t Glasgow's problem, wasn’t caused by Glasgow and won’t be fixed by Glasgow, if anything Glasgow should be asking the top teams to join them in the Championship

There is a new shale racetrack being built this week,crimond raceway, postcode AB43 8QQ, could this be the BSPL secret 6th team 😂

Yes so I hear since I posted it

Arry’s absentees at all tracks

It isn’t about Sheffield

I just don’t get why for next season at least they just don’t try to MAKE IT WORK for 1 big league and see where they are in 2027, I believe there is some news next week but whether this is elusive 6th team I don’t know, but this is a real mess and is doing speedway no favours whatsoever

Can’t even get the bspl or even 80% of its members to attend or even acknowledge it let alone Arry

Well both the bspl and the government are both broke

Imagine if the sport’s governing body had an action committee that swung in to action whenever there was a whiff of a track being redeveloped because believe it or not the laws are actually on our side in a lot of cases, we just don’t know it or in the case of the speedway governing body just don’t care

Anyone in rugby today fancy having a peep through the windows of ACU house to see if anything going on ?

If a former club comes back it has to be at there home town, nomad teams are no good for credibility especially if they are miles away from the town itself but I believe the bspl is so desperate for a 6th team I wouldn’t put it past them to run a zielona gora team out of the Isle of Wight

Or it could be a club back from the dead

It has changed and I agree not for the better but that hasn’t diminished my love for it, I still get the same buzz it’s always given me and it also breaks my heart to see it on the brink of collapse

That doesn’t sound good for the return of Peterborough https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/retro/east-of-england-agricultural-society-issues-myth-busting-statement-on-showground-development-5396502

I was talking to an old fan a couple of weeks back who is in his late 70s now and his local track wolves has now closed and he was saying how speedway wasn’t just a sport to him and his wife, it was their life, they met a speedway in the 60s got married and had travelled all of the world to watch speedway, they had foreign riders stay with them at their home and they feel like entain and the council and to a point British speedway have ripped the heart out of their lives, they can’t drive anymore and the nearest track is over 50 miles away and all I could think was this is me but an older version, I live for speedway it’s all I’ve ever known and done and when it comes to “cool” there is nothing I’ve ever come across that comes remotely close to it, I am that man who loves the smell of speedway and love going in riders workshops and tinkering with bikes and engines and imo there is nothing on earth that sounds as good as a speedway bike being warmed up and I feel like why the hell doesn’t anybody else share my passion for the sport

When I spoke with Andrew a couple of months back he was talking about doing it this year

Good to see a couple of teams will be represented at this weeks speedway show, maybe me calling them out for not doing it has pricked their conscience but then again it’s the bspl members and they are oblivious to what’s going on in the speedway world let alone what I dribble out

My service is 24 hours but very rarely gets used, make no mistake promoters and riders run this sport for themselves, riders more so, until the customer and credibility get put to the front of that pecking order we will fail

And right there is the bspl arrogance, 5 teams is a joke,supporters don’t want it, just go one league, I’m convinced we are at rock bottom but the bspl keep coming back to show there is still further we can fall, I’m also convinced the bspl is broke financial and what you see on their balance sheet every year is the bond for each track

Then I urge all the promoters do what’s best for their business and come march no fans turn up anywhere at any track and see how that business works, the fans are number 1. My business which is as successful as I want it to be is so because I see what the customer requires and I deliver that service and they all require different service,customers are the be all and end all of any business, without them you don’t have a business

With that attitude you should work for them, the point of speedway and therefor the most important people are the fans, without their money the bspl doesn’t exist, every decision should be made to please the fans

So is the AGM taking place on Wednesday or not or is it January ? They certainly not giving anything away, it’s like the bloody mason’s with all their secrecy

If it has a market then it’s certainly worth a try, my viewpoint has always been that modern technology is drawing people away from real things like speedway especially the riding side, it always infuriated me when I hear kids or adults saying oh I played this game and it’s graphics are sso good its just like the real thing, no it isn’t it could be further from the real thing, I want to get these people, put them in their gaming chair and stand behind them with a baseball bat and wait till their car or bike goes off the track and then beat them with the baseball bat, that’s what the real thing feels like 😂

Got to honest here and I suppose I’m showing my age even though I’m not old, apps don’t really float my boat, my phone has the bare minimum apps on it and most of those are used for work, what’s app, bank and Waze being 3,I’m not on twatter or instagram or TikTok or any of those apps, I do use FB but that’s more for buying and selling and do have or accept any friends on there,I don’t use any speedway apps at all and wouldn’t if one was created, I guess this is not really aimed at me though, I like to live my life in the physical world and just don’t get the fascination with them
