  1. Must of been one of those who because he did a lap in a second half somewhere thinks he knows what he is talking about
  2. We are talking about the bspl here, farce is their specialty, just when you think they have took farce to its absolute limit, they suprise us all and they pull a new bigger farce out of the hat, in reality come January we wouldn’t expect anything else really
  3. There is enough riders but the quality might not be as good, there is also plenty of foreign riders willing to come but intern that might push costs up because they know they’re in demand
  4. It’s because they are not sure what they are selling yet, I suppose they could just do a one size pass for x amount of meetings irrespective of how many leagues there are
  5. The sport owes nobody a living, you’re basically asking who is more important, the fans/sport or the riders ? It’s a situation nobody wants but it’s where we are we have one cake and we can only give anybody a share of what’s there, when it’s gone it gone, riders up till this point have been spoilt, getting paid and earning a living for doing what they love and the money has run out, so what gives ?
  6. It would impact mine, it’s been my life since I went to my first meeting when my parents took me when I was 1 and nothing has ever come close so I would be devastated
  7. I’m always amazed by those who take the moral high ground without knowing the facts of those who they belittle
  8. Then get a job at google or somewhere like that because British speedway can’t afford what you want
  9. But this comes down to who controls the sport, the sport is run by the riders for the riders, don’t know how long I have been telling anyone who will listen this message, until a governing body gets hold of and control of the sport and dictates boundaries which everyone must adhere to then the sport will continue to decline with everyone in it for their own gain and you have to say with nobody to stop them who can blame them, as an example and I say this not to single him out but as an example but Brady Kurtz is effectively holding the sport in Britain to ransom, make it 2 leagues or I’m off, doesn’t matter what the fans want or what is the best direction for British speedway it what works for me, me me me me me
  10. Laydowns have added to the cost but are not detrimental to the sport itself other than that, the racing is no better or worse today than it was 50 yeas ago, 90% of fans past or present would know a jap from a GM, speedway has never been a motorcycle sport, it’s a team sport on bikes and the important bit is and has always been is the monkey on them
  11. When I say ourselves I’m talking about the sport not individuals
  12. What we are seeing here is the years of neglect and lack of investment or ideas for speedway coming home to roost, we have nobody else to blame but ourselves, when sky first gave us the 5 million in the 90s it was like giving a heroin junkie 5 million and saying put some in the bank for the future and spend a bit on getting some help for your addiction
  13. Because if he doesn’t the tax man will have it off him, it’s a legal form of money laundering/ business offsetting performed by accountants of millions of millionaires worldwide in many different guises, all while getting the millionaire his/her toys paid for ,I think the only reason it doesn’t happen in speedway is because there is not enough money involved to make a dent to a millionaire
  14. Looks like the rumour mill has dried up and thank god for that
  15. Brian is working with a few teams but isn’t on the bspl payroll and is easy to get hold of unlike some who shall remain nameless
  16. https://www.facebook.com/share/1FTFgrXYuc/?mibextid=wwXIfr This could be a reason for late speedway star deliver
  17. Oh that elusive planning permission, that indeed is the only thing stopping the whole thing at the moment, it’s a lot of money to put up so cradley have got to jump through all the hoops to make sure the planing permission application doesn’t fail and there are a lot of hoops
  18. This is exactly what I thought, I can’t see it but they are desperate so who knows
  19. I did get told today that he is the promoter at Northampton and there is a tv deal imminent although it’s not a financial one, who knows, it’s a rumour and to be honest I’m getting sick of it all, 6 team league is not enough imo and I just wanted sorted now
  20. Just gave it a quick wiz through,,the sound is good this week, can’t comment of the quality of the content though 😂give it listen what do you think
  21. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1D7GFi4gxv/?mibextid=wwXIfr Here you go mate the crash in all it’s painful glory
  22. Mate I ride speedway bikes and drive a van, I have no idea what you are talking about 😂 I have to get the Mrs to set up the laptop and ear mike to do the podcast but I will pass the this on to Derek, cheers
  23. It was in the star a couple of weeks back from either Louis or Godfrey
  24. It doesn’t say who the 7 prem 6 championship and 1 who misses out are
