Yes, and it has been previously announced.

What back tracking ? I openly said that i knew that some teams were not selling BF tickets", because of what they knew of the problems at BV TRUE. Steve Sholvar added that "clubs don't have to take an allocation of tickets because the main buying and billing was through the BV site" TRUE. And I then agreed with him. I think you and ouch need to give yourselves a good shake, especially after posting the post #1871. Let's see what more there is to come out.

It's not really the system that has produced this outcome. It is the doubt of running at BV and Leicester that has produced the unfortunate non signings. As disappointing as it is I am sure they will both get berths in teams before the season is very old.

You seem to be trying to attack two targets at the same time and missing them both. The BSPA and SCB fully support the MDL and NJL( i have a team in this league), but it is Leicester and then Coventry that have decided not to enter the MDL league this season. When the Thompson's change to 250's this season, there is no 250 category in either leagues, so riding at their home tracks, before during and after meetings, is their and Leicester's way of bringing on good British youths by giving them track time. Think before you type.

Yes, the Holder brothers.

Due to the rain, and now the -3degrees frost tomorrow, please note we will not be working on the track work tomorrow (Sunday 12th) We will resume next week, weather permitting of course. Dave R

Certainly I would never make that statement, but then it was not the council accountants and auditors that were going to have to pay it. If two emotional proposed buyers will sign anything to try and deliver their dream, others can look from afar and say 'that is nearly impossible to repay at that rate'. I have run a speedway club, so I have more knowledge that most on here, and it doesn't take much to put a few costs together, and get a big minus figure at the end. The original payback figures in the original agreement were highly optimistic and adventurous, but to sign for a much shorter period, escalated the problems to the point of it never being able to be achievable. With new business owners, and a council wanting desperately for the venture to be successful, perhaps all concerned will take a more realist stance on the viability of the venture.

When they signed to pay the loan off in a much short period of time, BV was always going to be a non runner financially. Probably their enthusiasm for BV took over, but from a business perspective, it was suicidal.

He always seemed to do his wrists. I remember one time when he did both wrists in one accident. Bugger to wipe your backside I would imagine.

Ray Morton at Newcastle. He used to get injured every time he was at our place. I joked about it with him, and he just laughed it off. I think it was at Jesper Olsen's Testimonial in about 2002, a Select team were against a Danish Select, when Bjarne's engine seized going past the start gate and Ray was immediately behind him. He tried to ride through a gap that wasn't there and collected Bjarne, bike and fence mesh and I think did his ankle along with a few cuts and bruises. Luckily Bjarne only lost a finger nail if I remember correct.

Yes, there is some good ones coming in, but we need more before we become self sufficient without lower grade foreigners to make up our leagues. Can't agree about the 6 man teams after what we discovered when we had them in 1997.

Until we get enough young Brits to take those team places, we are either talking about DU's or even more foreign riders. Got to be done but it takes time.

And don't Newcastle and Glasgow know it.

I agree. Unfortunately the Gerhard/BSPA deal was probably about 3 months late to be launched.

Quite happy with that, he's not all bad you know. NB Got to laugh at someone who writes to himself. ouch

I quite agree, and the contractors used inferior infill, which was the real cause of the problem, which was covered up with the shale topping. Be interesting to hear everything when the SS is allowed to report on the happenings. It will put to bed a lot of nonsense that has been put on the BSF.

Oh the irony.

Yes thanks, I thought that after I had posted. Still writes rubbish with any name.

It's also a great shame that some fans don't acknowledge what Buster has achieved for speedway. A lot of fans do, but certain BV fans don't seem to be in that group. Do they prefer Gordon instead of Buster. I know where my vote would go, but for you to say the BSF is in Buster's pocket, is one of the most stupid and biased comments on here.

There's plenty who don't. I don't miss your 'likes', but i appreciate it when others do like what I comment. Just like Coventry fans should forget 2010 AGM, you need to get out of the Subedei influence. At least I try to contribute to discussions, but you just attack others contribution. Nil contribution from you. Time for you to jog on.

Neither actually.

i can agree with that. Did they not have an earlier AGM the year before last, and the early fixture list was the reason. This year, there has been so much going on with the 3 Premiership doubts, so that fixture list could only have been provision at best.

I might be wrong but I don't think that happens, probably due to it being a BSI/IMG event. Go on the internet direct and you can choose your individual selection of seat/s. How can a track do that.

That statement is true because of the concerns they had and knew. They were not compelled to sell tickets and didn't. Hi KevH, still on the case I see. Saaad.

Exactly. Some people on here are going into overdrive at a potential dig at the BSPA, individual promotions, etc. BSF at it's usual best. Nobody has to sell tickets for others events, hence the reason all the advertising and info gathering, was being concentrated on the organisation awarded to run the event. In the past, promotions have taken tickets to sell for big events like Telford, and get a set ratio of free tickets depending on how many they sold. Perhaps this time there was no incentive, I don't know, given that the main direction for tickets was BV who could sell them direct online. I am aware of some concerns, and other promotions might have elected to keep out of it, given what had gone on before it. That is for others to consider. Try reading post #1514 and be informed.
