And now they bring in Harry Redknapp , not as like he has any experience of how to fight and win, when it looks a bit dodgy financially, maybe he brings this expertise to speedway ? Moments after the not guilty verdicts Redknapp stood on the court steps flanked by his son Jamie and slammed the investigation – saying that it “should never have been to court”. Jurors accepted Redknapp’s denials that he avoided tax on any payments over £189,000 found in a Monaco account. His acquittal alongside Milan Mandaric blew the final whistle on a five-year £8 million police investigation which failed to yield a single conviction. Mandaric and former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie were also cleared of £600,000 tax dodge claims at a previous trial, it can be reported for the first time. During the trial Redknapp was at times moved to the verge of tears as the Crown alleged that he told a pack of lies in an attempt to get off the hook. What happened in Harry Redknapp's tax evasion trial and what did he say about the case? | The Sun

With the BSPA being the major shareholder with 32,000 shares and the overall control of voting rights "acquired the rights" seems to be a loose statement ?

Yes, I could have been more clear, thanks

It is all on Companies house if you look 34 shareholders , 50,000 shares of which British Speedway Promoters LTD hold 32,000 shares SPEEDWAY FUTURES LTD more information - Find and update company information - GOV.UK

Scott Smith did it at Newport as well, hit the back of the tractor raking the surface, came off and the bike continued it's ride around the track fully upright on the back of the rake !

Looks promising ? old firm wound up due to not filing with companies house, new firm started should see that hurdle overcome, just got to hope that any rider that the previous admin held Visa rights for, can be transferred as quickly to the new company, looks like only one rider is subject to this problem, even if the Visa issue is not sorted, it is beginning to look like Worky can be back, with possible R/R or guest ( if allowed ?

Tony Atkin, probably the last of the full time speedway riders to have a full time job throughout his career in both speedway and Grasstrack Tony Atkin - Speedway-stats.co.uk Tony Atkin Born Chester, Cheshire, 8th April 1966 Top Grass-track exponent who was British 350cc champion before having initial shale outings at Stoke in 1986. Returned to the speedway circuits in 1993 at Wolverhampton where he held down a reserve berth for much of the season, and played a similar role when moving to Bradford last term. Made his Owlerton debut on August 18, 1994 when finishing runner-up (12 points) to Peter Scully in the Young Guns Individual meeting. Joined Sheffield on the eve of the season. Off-track he runs an office cleaning business in his home town.

Tim passed away and a bunch of muppets took over the running, sounds like a fair assumption to me, there was a consortium headed by Phil Morris who were keen to take over, the council wanted speedway to continue, but the promotion did everything in their power to make sure it did not, a mysterious fire did not help either ? Phil Morris , given his position in world speedway would probably thank them for that now !! You can state that there are interested parties willing to carry on with speedway at the Venue...... Morris remains interested in bringing speedway back to Queensway Meadows and has an unnamed “experienced promoter” backing him. But he can’t save his local team unless Sydney & London’s demolition bid is quashed and has called on speedway fans to fight the club’s corner. Details as follows:

One thing we should be grateful for is, Northside is a magnificent track, and the stadium has wonderful potential for development through eventual installation of lighting and some spectator cover. Unlike the permanent loss of places such as Wolverhampton, Peterborough, etc, Northside will be there, and can hopefully push on and up again, after this unfortunate situation is resolved Newport ( Queensway meadows) was still there, had everything in place, lights, stands, safety fence, long lease, no curfews or restrictions, and look what happened there !

What you can see is 2 other companies both in Andrew Bain's name where they have both been threatened with action and then dissolved, one where his occupation is "Director" and one where his occupation is "Labourer "

Yes agreed, but giving them the option of a couple of practice laps and being able to adjust gearing, carburation & timing on a standard tune/standardised horse power, rev limited engine would allow adjustment for grip/spin in those basic set-ups to alter the suitability according to the riders weight/height/ability

Here is how the Karting world do it with the club 100 Junior Britain class perhaps the promoters should look at this model, all riders on the same kit,? but maybe mechanics allowed to alter sprockets, timing carburettor settings only, on the day, each rider given a standard bike at the start of the event and allowed a couple of laps to see how the track behaves, before making the basic changes to timing/gearing/jetting prior to racing CLUB100 Junior/Senior Karts All the karts are race prepared before each day’s events by a top team of mechanics and test drivers, no expense is spared to ensure the equipment performs to it’s full potential, leaving it down to the driver to make the difference!

Last had a chat with him at Ledbury grass track, still has his sense of humour though ! I well remember him singing the night away in the Bonanza scramble/trial/grasstrack marquee especially his favourite song, "The hole in the elephant's bottom" Raymond Crooke - The Hole in the Elephant's Bottom lyrics
