THE DEAN MACHINE

Exactly this

I will have a stand there, selling bikes and spares from the 50s to today, jap to GM and everything inbetween and memorabilia, I also have over 100 speedway books for sale

In a word, yes

At this moment in time it has zero chance of happening, however other teams might be, whether that’s in time to save the premier leagues sorry affairs remains to be seen

Where has all this Wolverhampton talk come from ? Wolves ain’t coming back anytime soon and even if it did it wouldn’t be under CVS

So the bspl don’t tell the public the AGM isn’t happening till January until after it was supposed to happen yesterday even though through gossip we knew anyway, the contempt for the fans is off the scale with these people,over the last few month or so the governing body have really shown their colours, they don’t answer the phone, they don’t reply to emails and they don’t give support to clubs trying to come back or start up,they don’t turn up to the speedway show on Saturday even though it is literally peanuts to have a stand,I’m holding back here I could say more but I don’t hold up much hope for the future of my sport and yes every one of us own this great sport 🤢

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
