Buster has released a statement on the web site. It sounds like one ore more of your riders may be facing an open door

Thanks very much everyone, much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me of a decent B&B, pub or hotel I could stay on Monday night. Don't fancy the drive back to London after the match but not familiar with the area. Thanks folks

He isn't, Bates rode and came second or third depending on which site you are following.

Mark has said that the team is virtually complete just some final details to sort out. Could that be visas for Max and Sedgman?

Item 3.4 is a bombshell, if true.

I believe Maxs' van last year was silver so it must have changed colour.

If that is true Phil, as you report it, then why doesn't Mr Philip Rising or his colleagues at Speedway Star start digging round, starting with you, and earn their money as journalists. It is disgraceful that the chairman of the governing body has the power to do this sort of thing and the lackeys on the board allow him to. Then people wonder why we cannot attract high profile sponsers and backers to the sport.

My understanding is that the BSPA do grant a license to the promoters who are not necessarily the owners. The promoters could be employed by the owners.

Is it a coincidence that tomorrow is also the day that the Speedway Star prints the report on the track?

The crucial word you missed out Phil is "COULD"

Thank you, Philip. I will be glad when this whole sorry mess can be put to bed. And, please God, the new prospective owners can get us all back to speedway and us beating Poole.

In fairness Philip whoever posted the articles did not claim any source. I hope your decision to go to print was from having clearance from MCC solicitors.

Max struggled at Lakeside as well, he was terrible in the play-offs.

Well, according to the BSPA the new owners have been approved by MCC, so who told you they have not been accepted, names would give us something to check your sources.

I responded to a tweet, reputedly from SpeedwayGB , saying everything in place by saying we had nothing. They reputedly replied as my posting. The formatting reflects my lack of technical skill not being fake. Mind you there have been any number of these recently on the Aces fan page on Facebook which a certain Mr Mullally is very prominent contributor of which all of his are genuine.

Here is a copy of a reply from SpeedwayGB to a tweet I sent them. Their answer first with my question second. Sorry for the formatting.

But, we have no team, no promoter, no stadium, no riders - in fact nothing. This is not a joke or a fake, I do neither.

From what you have said there Philip, putting aside what did or did not happen at or before the GOM, if I was one of the two new owners I would make sure my contract with MCC was so watertight that any future issues or "promises" made would be covered. Tell me though, why if all the terracing should have been completed and it wasn't why aren't Gordon and Morton making more of a defence case to support them.

Perhaps if Philip Rising and the Speedway Star would print their investigation regarding the issues surrounding the stadium and MCC we may get some way towards understanding what really happened and if it is true that other promoters or even the BSPA were working against Belle Vue then the Star could investigate that as a follow up.

Would you say that the two proposed new owners will get or have already got the nod from the BSPA or could there still be a sting in the tail.

Can I assume that these people are acceptable to the BSPA if we throw in messrs lemon and machin or could there still be issues.

So who is the promoter, Phil, might as well tell us that as well.

I can assure you sir, I am not pudding anything.lol

Must be having a senior moment but the first clue beats me

Someone else said this but it was countered by it being different as we own Bewley. Just what I read.
