OK Silver then, so that's an admission it was you. Ha Ha. You don't know me, but everyone on here knows my name and who I am, so you must be the only one not to know. And there's nowt to hide from. You did some good work with the Super 7 events, I acknowledge that, but I suspect you got a bit above yourself, and had to part from the BSPA and then Buster. Apols for the final word, in my original post, which i have now deleted. Would of been nice and respectful of you to acknowledge how well your Dad is doing as Chairman. And they have a commitment to build more houses and there may be more pressure to change the sites use to Residential instead of Sport.

Newcastle was brought back in 1997 by fans, and has been run by Newcastle fans ever since.

Well said. I can't believe the contrived Bullrubbish that has been put on here, linking some totally unconnected events, but like all conspiracy theories, all linked to one person. And then some on here call Promoters, and then fans come up with such garbage. I think Buster has played a blinder since he was appointed Chairman of the BSPA. I had my doubts when he was first selected, but he has put his heart and soul into it in a very sensible and quiet way, That's the way he works. He has delegated out his business to trusted friends and colleagues, whilst he single handed took the lead on all three doubtful speedway. He has been the catalyst to different situations with authorities, owners and promotions, and probably got 2 coming to the tapes on time, whilst Sandhu does his own impression of a wrecking ball let loose. And the same fans still think it's Horton's fault at Coventry, as if Sandhu was some sort of saviour fighting against Horton. If Buster fails at Coventry it is down to one man and that is Sandhu, not Buster, Horton or even Heaver. Some of you really need to give yourselves a good shake and rid yourselves of the negative biases/dogma that you carry around especially since 2010. Just to add insult to injury we have his son lurking in the background, apparently delighted at the comments criticising his father and the BSPA. Just as well he didn't hear the comments about him, when he was the main man driving around and around the Millennium and Cardiff in his open topped Black BMW a few years ago.

But how was it funded by the BSPA. Have their really thrown £360k into the pot, I doubt it. More likely they have guaranteed sales of the engine to that value in order to justify Gerharts initial financial layout.

Are you saying he should just give up on Coventry because we have reached the deadline.

And was involved when John Perrin was 'in charge'. Goes a long way back with the Aces.

I would blame Brexit.

It has already been reported in the last week the help that the BSPA is trying to keep Coventry open. If that fails it will be because of Sandhu and his loutish behaviour, not anything the BSPA has failed on. Another one too quick to jump in with their size 12's.

Ha Ha. I think we had enough of the Alan version of Trump last time he played games at Coventry. Trump and Sandhu, what a partnership.

But they didn't need to be vandalised, and Sandhu did agree to repair the damage HE caused.

And it was reported that he had agreed to replace and repair the damage that his staff caused in the talks with the local councellor. it was an impetuous reaction that he caused the damage but he agreed to repair/replace everything. Horton didn't sign prior to that, and was in America when he was required to sign the lease. Sandhu took that option out of the equation with his hooligan actions. Horton should have signed, but HE didn't cause the damage, or make the agreement to reverse the damage. Sandhu showing his real colours now.

WHY. Sandhu should be held responsible for his rash/hooligan actions. Nowt to do with the BSPA.

But quick enough to jump to conclusions that probably were not true.

Oh Dear.

And contaminate open wounds of the riders in the crash. Filling the fence with water is just not a runner for many reasons.

You could try asking Norbold on here. He probably knows.

Or as it is known in the business as SKY money. So a fraudulent promotion could just plod on with more debts knowing the BSPA will pay all the bills. Got to remember r and r, it is the well known troublesome uk martin who was asking that one.

Everything over in 1 minute or 15 minutes, their choice.

Yes, he smells the easy money. No fool Grin.

Forgetting, or ignoring, the fact that the complaints of the previous name and the name changes were called for by the fans. Sorry to spoil your rant. It's a start for more standardised machinery, it's now up to the other manufacturers, JAWA and GM to try and compete. That is the waytogo.

Second Division club now, and don't ride on Sundays.

The intention was to restart the winter work this weekend but, in view of the low temps and the threat of snow this weekend, it is now planned to restart on Sunday 22nd January, weather permitting of course.

Tiddler Turner.

Roy Clark, the Newcastle centre green presenter, who also did the 4's at Peterborough last year, has nicknames for all the home riders, and occasionally away riders as well. Ruthless Robert Lambert has now taken it on board and now uses him nickname in his twitter and interviews he does. Lightning Lindgren for Ludde, Magic Man Matej Kus, Blond Bombshell Palovaara, Superman Stevie Worrall, Kid Kong Danny Phillips, BCB Ashley Morris, The Kerminator Lewis Kerr, Dynamite Lewis Rose, Silver Fox Leigh Lanham, Rebel Richie Worrall, etc. Makes a change, and he sticks with their nicknames in all his commentaries/interviews.

Greg is very much a marmite character. You either love him or louth him. In about 2001/2 Louis Carr, the junior development officer then for the BSPA, organised a training session at Glasgow for juniors selected and paid for by their respective clubs. I had Will Lawson, Richard Hall, Jamie Robertson and Ron Grant with me Greg was flown in and took over the training for the whole day. First thing he did was organise all the lads, including Josh Auty, who had turned up and was under age at 13 to be there, away from their handlers, family and mechanics in a separate location. He got to know them, and talked in great detail about being a rider and gave them loads of advice on being a rider, the mechanics of the bike and preparation. After that was finished all the lads took to the track and he had plenty of advice to give, which was suitably digested. It was a perfect training day and obviously the young riders were pleased and awestuck to have such a tutor. I found Greg to be very personable, easy to talk to and quite liked the guy, especially as he was also very friendly with our Nicki and his family. Since then, the doubts have arisen through various events, ending up with last years WC fiasco he try to wriggle out of, cheating on the track with/for Monster colleagues and his plainly fixed and false Grin if the cameras are on him. One can't knock him for the quality and achievements of him in speedway, but he is now just a robot with none sincerity, acting like a flash USA college fresher. Not for me these days.
