old bob at herne bay

Barnsley chops on the menu for lunch. black smoke from the chimneys

MMmm ....choice of 3 others other than Godgrey then ?? Votes please on the back of used fiver to the BSPL

Barnsley ?? It will probably be snowed off. If not there will be a fair bit of gardening needed before the start.

Dick Lawson seems not be fixed up in the PL 2026 ? You would think Christopher Louis could do a one year deal with a prospective buyer for the value of real assets plus an amount based on a percentage of the achieved operating profit in 2026 ?? Unless he’s thinking he can somehow claw back the money he has probably invested into the speedway operation over the years ? Dont see a speedway club as a good investment tbh ……you own sod all …..and operate in a rented stadium from a third party who can kick you out at any time. .

If Ippo do run in 2026, they coudl have a top two of Woofy and Lidsley, both of whom seem to be unattached at the moment.

Mmmm, judging by performance in Australia, dropping Lidsley might be a poor move. Still reckon the BV will make the p.offs though.

Probably lots of questions ..... but no one has any answers

Probably cos they are all barking.

Good call 😀 Looked that up on the web and he was really Howard Cole !

Given the alleged lack of profit or big losses involved in operating a speedway club business, I have always been of the opinion that the " promoters" do so for their own personal enjoyment. The people who come along to watch just help them to achieve theri enjoyment. They choose thier own team, they choose which league they oeprate in ,and enjoy meeting up with other promotoers who are on the same ego trip with theri personal ambitions. To them, it matters not a jot what their customers think, they are on an ego trip to try and win the p.offs . All this dross about doing it for the "love of the sport" doesn't wash with me. Nor has it for many years when speaking face to face with "promoter X " or "promoter Y" I have just been told " its my club and ill do what i want with it " or words to that effect. Sadly with promoter X he ignored my (and many others) comments and lost a shed load of money taking"his club" into the 1st divsion. Never, in RECENT years have I even had the decency of a reply to comments/criticism/suggestions to promoters team managers. So forgive me if i find this whole charade of the forgetful four , the famous five, the super six or the magnificent seven nothing more than winter entertainment. Supporters will get what they are given.

He ain’t going to announce anything that might devalue his “property” Although with every passing day that tractor start gate and air fence are deflating in value.

and I wouldn’t be reading too much into Matt Fords return to the Uk , other than the rules of residency surrounding Brexit. I guess Matt prefers to remain a UK citizen , rather than. French citizen .

Oops , they made a mistake there then , Its BRADY KURTZ. 🙂 Dont know a Brody in speedway ?

Jeez, after 65+ years of supporting the sport ..... the computer tells me I am now a rising star !!!!! A b***y rising star I should be a World Champion by now ( at Wembley over 20 heats) Must be a ruling by the BSPL
