What? Who has a fridge that goes down to -95 degrees C? I suppose you could put it in a box or load it onto a pallet in bulk bearing in mind it would thaw in seconds....ffs isn't the sport on it's arse anyway without stirring up rubbish like this?

Iain makes a grand cuppa though!

Wow!

This is a consequence of riders demanding more and clubs agreeing to pay it, if the BSPA/L pay what the sport can afford and the event can sustain then there is no cause for direct criticism. It's always been a prize money event based on finishing positions with the "senior" league having a bike or an engine for the winner up until a few years ago. The bike stopped when Jawa ceased and went into financial hibernation for a while. This prize had a concessionary purchase price to the BSPA/L as well.

You have reminded me of one of the funniest things I've seen and heard in Speedway, after Jackie Biggs kicked off at Eddie Lack over the amount of dog rubbish everywhere having walked across the centre green at Hackney following an EF. Hilarious....

Now if I was losing £10k a meeting and my riders were carrying injuries or with-holding that might just work and save me a few quid but as I'm not in that position I'll go with your suggestion and not get my ego confused with my integrity 😉

Muck fe he's only 36 try 20 !

Zlotys?

At that time under IBA rules regional broadcasters had to comply with producing so many hours of local content which included some sport so 10.30 after the news suited with 1 or 2 ENG type cameras.

We've been there so many times before with good people; Peter Toogood, Rick Frost even Sandhu to a certain extent just to name a few. The man who had the greatest vision was condemned by fans, riders and Promoters for demanding change if ever any of his proposals ever get published openly you will see he was talking about what Richard Coleman is doing and proposing. That man was deposed in a Thomas Becket event, he wasn't perfect and absolute Marmite but he stuck to his vision and paid dearly for it. Oh yes he was called Terry Russell..

It took that contagious to come up with a new excuse..

You don't know just how true that is..

It is very clear that a stadium is the preferred option for the residents, the local authority and the would be owners for this to be a community facility that is led by it's motorsport heritage. All of those parties need to come together to enable a sustainable operation to be permitted, it is not as simple as chucking a Sunday boot sale on the car park. Overall consent needs to open the door of opportunity with the right balance of utilisation it could be a huge success.

Someone has hung their bobble hat on the wifi antenna!

Overall this is a sensible move and hopefully the commitment is there to see it through. Like many before him Coleman will not be fully embraced by the BSPA//L and will become a disruptor because of his passion, innovation and commercial interest all of which antagonise the status quo. The backstabbers will be sharpening their steel and rinsing their bobble hats, I can't wait to be proved wrong
