THE DEAN MACHINE

I was only thinking today while it was waiting to open, it’s not only the British motor museum but it’s also home to jaguar and Aston Martin, what if they the management of those company’s were there today and popped over for a look and feel they could maybe help out speedway or even 1 of the teams ? You never know, the build it and they will come doesn’t work anymore, the mountain doesn’t come to you, you have to go to the mountain, I had some good chats today with some big folks within the sport, I put some ideas to them and they told me some ideas too, not saying mine or theirs are the right way but at least we are out there trying, like I say you never know but if you don’t try you can gaurentee you will get nothing

I believe Bradford is too expensive and from what the stock car people are saying the rugby people(who have a short memory )could be kicking them out and who knows what’s going on at Eastbourne, I personally think it’s a family dispute but whatever the reason they don’t want speedway back

Yes

There a few tracks which could be put back into life but the stadium owners just don’t want it, Newcastle included, my feeling from what I understand is it’s Peterborough or if that not possible then it’s a team from the championship and maybe mildenhall will take up that spot in the championship

Not sure, but a new ticket company had a trail run for one polish GP last season with it being the ticket company this year, but not seen anything since

They have a stand that’s all, the track has been dug up

Does Manchester have banger racing anymore ?

Maybe they could but without the others Chris Louis is as unsuccessful as the rest, we need to flourish as a sport not one or two, I was in Manchester at the weekend for a gig and in the town center there is a sports memorabilia shop and they had everything from football to F1, bet you can’t guess what they didn't have ?

Exactly, only the garage never seems to get cleared

Well last year I made a good few thousand so that horse is well worth riding

It’s £30 for a small stand at the speedway show fgs, it’s hardly marketing money

British speedway currently isn’t even preaching to the converted, it’s preaching to nobody at all, last month I went to the Stafford motorcycle show, thousands of motorbike fans over 2 days, there was one Indian guy selling curtains and another selling mobile phones, now it’s about £350 for a stall there, did they sell a curtain or a mobile phone case ? Probably not but they are out there trying and it was just 2 stalls out of place but it was 2 more stalls than the whole of speedway had, we and I mean collectively and that includes every club have got to push our sport at every opportunity and every event possible, even if it’s preaching to the converted or even outside of our comfort zone, this is not a brag but with the different shows I’ve done I’ve done more to promote speedway than British speedway itself

It’s not about the bspl and clubs because the bspl and clubs don’t support it and it’s not cause the organisers havent tried to get them, some riders even wanted travel expenses to attend, I was quite surprised today while setting up just now may folk attend the motor museum,,maybe tomorrow some will venture in to the speedway show, maybe they won’t but if you don’t try they definitely won’t

As me and my family have done a couple of times this year, in fact I’ve been 4 times this year to worky, over 200 miles away, who knew

Yea you are right there is no answer to people like you, build it they will come eh

Go and apply for a job at the bspl they love folk like you who can’t see past the end of their nose and see the bigger picture, maybe we should close Poole down cause what do Glasgow and Edinburgh gain from them being hundreds of miles away ?

You should get a job at the bspl with that train of thinking 🙃

Will have to go to Łódź GP, one track I’ve never been and will go to Toruń again as I’ve not been since 2019 but the rest I will watch on tv, ticket prices will be interesting now it’s been took over by a new company and so has the ticket distribution service

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 ?
