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.

Started by Sandhu along with the mislead Rick and Julie, and aided and abetted by Trump(the other one) You forgot to get the facts right, so no you won't forget it. No, thats not what i said, HT. In his role of Chairman of the BSPA he would be able to assess the situation, as to whether the new promotion were in fact fit and proper to take on the role. Standard procedure, which I had to go through myself. In an interview you have to convince the BSPA that you a fit and proper person. No good Buster being involved, watching what was going on, and knowing if they new owners were not fit and proper for what they were taking on. He wouldn't start from a negative position, but would start as a neutral. To be fair HT, Promoters, and many fans on here, knew the potential, but were probably staggered at the payback period being reduced from about 55 years to 25. They would know it was just not possible, and a massive gamble that was likely to be doomed from the start.

I didn't know that.

It's 'pathetic' actually. As George implies there is no real chance of running on the Sunday after the GP. Two of the air fence team, including me, are on flights back at 8.00pm, so there would be no chance of the air fence being available. There has to be a provision in the fixtures for all teams, but that is still dependant on the weather, in particular rainoffs. Nothing can be done about that, and fixtures have to change. The situation regarding Coventry and Leicester, in respect of DU's, will also affect the ability of teams to complete fixtures as per published. If you know of a magic formula to get around these problems, and still publish a fixtures list for all leagues in say January, I am sure the BSPA would love to hear from you Mike. It is as it is.

You don't get it do you. Buster on behalf of the BSPA has/had to make decisions for the good of speedway and Belle Vue. A lot in the BSPA were not impressed with the happenings at BV, and in particular one person. Remember that some promotions refused to sell tickets for the British Final because of what they knew. Buster had to be involved at the end to assist the process, and if in fact two of Gordon's mates were/are the main men, it is no wonder he might have doubts. Without Buster, nothing could have happened at Belle Vue, and it is the BSPA that issue licences to people about a certain criteria.

Quite agree. Some others have short selective memories and can't get over 2010. Obsessive or what.

Ludde Lindgren is awaiting a phone call to rejoin you.

Weather seems to be holding up, so we will be starting to wash and refix the air fence on Sunday at 9.30am. Anybody who can join us, can you wear warm clothing and hopefully waterproof. Bickies and hot drinks on all day See you then Dave R

I could read something into that.

I thought they were out of order, given what's been happening throughout the Winter, regardless if it was serious or a windup.

Usual negative bollox.

Yes, it's called a bond. Helps to compensate debtors when a promotion gets into trouble, but only pays speedway debts within, not outside creditors. Riders, BSPA, SCB, other promotions, etc.

NO. Because they were trying to get their number 1 choice after Pairman dropped out.

Have you a team in waiting ? YES Has there been promoters interested in taking control of BV ? YES Does Buster select the chosen promoter ? NO Is MCC currently making that selection before it can be announced ? YES. Has Buster been available and assisted with the process ? YES.

Yes, I was thinking that. Glory in the problems that others are having, only one on here then a muddler.

Nice to see so many coming out and congratulating Buster for his sterling efforts to keep 3 major tracks on line and so running in 2017. I don't suppose we will ever find out his total efforts to achieve what he has, but Speedway as a whole owes him a big thank you. Pity folks like the wayward son, and the usual non attending critics of speedway, couldn't bring themselves to acknowledge his efforts.

And still is Steve.

Says someone who hasn't got anything to lose.

Not so sure about the free ferry, but all our Danes have had accommodation with someone from Newcastle. Their ability does not come into it.
