yea I rode for Glasgow in 2000 at Ashfield and loved it there and only time I felt scared was after a meeting going in the Ashfield pub when Rangers and Celtic were playing
-
Neil once showed me the way out of shawfield back to the motorway after I guested for Glasgow so as I didn't get lost and get beat up by the locals asking for directions , then on the way home my mechanic fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into an artic lorry and rolled the van , ahh memories

and of course that's going to solve everything 😳

I actually feel there is more to this than what's in the public domain

if the first and second bend is where the mound is now and there is also a greyhound track going round the outside of that where is the stadium terracing supposed to go ?? , they could use one of the houses as the bar I suppose and maybe their garden shed as first aid room
-
where the first and second bend is supposed to be is where the big mound of dirt is now on the end of car park , go round the housing estate at the back of that mound and you will see the houses are 150 yards from that mound , track is not going to happen

Unfortunately there are too many people who think they are doing speedway a service with their constant criticism of the sport which isn't a bad thing but they offer no ideas or alternatives just shoot down every idea put forward , if I put forward a suggestion I don't mind people to say I'm wrong and explain why then offer an alternative but in the main they just say your wrong or your an idiot or whatever and that's it , I can think of a few , I've got pretty thick skin but I get why people get fed up with BSF when the same posters just turn every post into a personal spat between themselves ,so imagine if those personalitys were to be the people to work with the bspa

Why Not Work With The Poles?
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to IainB's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It is in the interest of young polish riders to ride in England but the PGE and its teams don't share that view and certainly don't encourage it ,if your not a star in Poland your not well paid ,polish or otherwise , one under 21 pole was offered a really good deal to ride at reserve last season , his deal was based on points , if he scored up to 6 not including BP he was on poor points money but if he got 7 he was on mega money , only thing is he was partnered with the best reserve in the league so 9/10 he dropped points there and he only ever got 3 rides cause the other reserve got his others so hardly ever got his 7 points and ended up earning nothing ,he should of come to Britain where he was always in the team and had loads of meetings on different types of tracks and became a better all round rider , he did try to get a place in Britain but it never happened and now he is riding in a lower polish league -
Reality Time For Speedway.
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Odds On's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
it has but they don't want to see it , I don't like to go into detail about individual riders finances but some deals are truly eye opening for speedway , it's not that they don't deserve it but it's totally about speedway can't afford it -
Reality Time For Speedway.
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Odds On's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
This is pretty much spot on , the tail is wagging the dog and has been for a while now but put this point to the riders and watch the abuse you get , fans are treated like an afterthought these days -
Buster Chapman - Is He Good For The Sport?
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to SCB's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Not detracting from the incompetence sweeping through the sport , the attitude of some riders is turning me right off the sport -
don't know but that will be a real blow to GTR if he has dumped them

Buster Chapman - Is He Good For The Sport?
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to SCB's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It's got to the point for me now where I think we should finish the British season tomorrow , have a good rethink and start fresh in 2018 , at the moment it's just in a big downward spiral with damaging issues happening almost every week -
Gorzow 2017 ....
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Pont's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
been to that hotel a few times but always been in our car -
your not allowed to speak out against buster if your a licenced official , I was told that by an official last week over a different matter that they felt should be delt with
-
no what you wrote is the bleeding obvious which has been said on here many times , you don't say how you would curb the spiralling engine costs and I hate to stick a pin in your bubble but the GTR is the only solution currently out there to try to address this unless you know better
-
nicki pedersen before his accident can I ask why make the GTR a twin cam rather than single cam ?twin cams have always been difficult to set up for speedway
-
while it can't compete with the GM on performance your kind of missing the point of it , if everyone rode them they would be working and riders would be saving a fortune but hey keep up the cheap jibes , that's how you solve any crisis speedway or otherwise , i would like to hear your suggestion to curb the astronomicle rising costs of engines
