THE DEAN MACHINE

A shredding machine to put your hard earned cash straight into and what you have left the bspl will send their special magician round to mysteriously make it all disappear in to the pockets of the few, just incase some think I’m posting an in the know post, it’s just a bit of fun, you don’t get a shredding machine

At least someone can see positive possibility’s of one big league, mikebv for bspl chairman

Wonder what all the premier league promotions are all doing today ? Do you think they are all in a room thrashing out some sort of solution or do you think they all out shopping with the family ?

Yes exactly, too right, I’m always right, what exactly were you referring too ? 😂

Reading that piece in the star reads like we going to decimate the championship to run our flawed system in the premier, think the championship teams should have a meeting, ditch the bspl, form their own governing body and start a new sport under the Nora banner

To be honest it doesn’t really matter what his reasons are,he will be missed but he either wants to be a part of speedway or he doesn’t, sentiment doesn’t solve anything,all that matters is the club is brought by someone and the sport moves forward in a positive manor with Ipswich involved of which it isn’t doing at the moment

And why exactly has it happened? Is it Because there aren’t enough teams ? The sport is bankrupt? .The bspl couldnt force the likes of Glasgow and Poole to join the league putting themselves at finical risk? the tv money has gone as have a couple of big sponsors ? There is a snobbery towards the championship from some clubs ? What is it ?

I was just thinking yesterday I wonder if I gave up on speedway and put my heart and sole into some other sport that after a couple of years I would be thinking this sport is a real mess and maybe speedway isn’t such a shambles after all

Exactly this, the 1 big league with Ipswich and belle vue in it is actually quite an exciting prospect imo

And that is how it should be but with an independent body actually making the rules like in just about any other credible sport

One thing I really don’t get is the obsession to why we need a premier league, 1 league would just make the championship the top league with more variety for fans, I could understand up till now because of tv money which selfishly the didnt want to share with the championship clubs but that’s not there anymore, the thought of belle vue riding against Poole or Glasgow or Workington is something different for the fans and personally find exciting, the championship has a hell of a lot to offer and imo a lot more than the premier for a couple of years, so I say to the top 5 teams embrace it for a year and if in a years time a couple more teams are back on the scene look at 2 leagues again, we have an opportunity for a reset of the sport here but again we will probably miss the opportunity like we always do

So what’s happened to the ticket company they were supposed to be using from this year ?

I got big enough shoulders mate, got to have to hold up my big head, thought I would get that in before anyone else did

I’m sure he could tell me himself

Oh Christ mate get you hard hat on there will be brooms flying you way soon

I’m not delighted, I’m mortified at what is going in the sport and not have a team of my own I supported Ipswich this season but no team is bigger than the sport even if they were the biggest in it

It’s was a joke mate not an insult unlike yours was to me and I think you will find it’s up to about 22 now

I always talk crap,I’ve never claimed anything else,it’s just a shame some people are less willing to accept others opinions when they don’t aline with their own

Careful Mike there are some touchy whiches on the broomsticks about tonight

I don’t want to see it die but more so I don’t want to see a premier league with 6 or less teams, I want 2 leagues of 10 or more teams in both but it’s just not going to happen

Yes let’s hope a resolution can be found and quick and Ipswich come to the tapes in 2026 and the sport can get back to arguing about points limits and superheats

My my the insults are coming thick and fast tonight, always happens I suppose when you strike a nerve

Stick to your polish club mate, you have no idea what I do or do not know and tune in to the next podcast I’ll see if I can get you a personal mention 😉

Maybe he has had enough of the way it’s run but the sport is pretending it’s still a major player and until we realise we ain’t we will never find the bottom and rebuild to some success, I understand Ipswich perfectly well and I admire Louis and his team and they are possibly the most successful professional outfit in speedway but he still acting like a spoilt brat

Yea just not the league, he is acting like a spoilt brat who can’t get his way
