  1. yep agree with all the comments regarding his riding and what he had done in speedway, a great rider. as a person dont like the guy at all and never have.
  2. One time i am happy to be in the UK then :-) Expect he will be riding but not racing lol.
  3. Shameful ? Well indeed it may be but i think i have made my point. If you had given someone hundreds of thousounds of pounds which is not peanuts in speedway terms and then they ripped you off wouuld you be happy ? its not just the fuel issue that was the iceing on the cake. Also would you wait 3 years ? His excuss was he didnt have it but then on his twitter he is buying this and that and going on holiday but does not have the money to pay you back ! i didnt want to take him to court, all the way along he was emailed and texed what was happening and he never replied to any of them. I put this on here to show people he is not the shining star and lovely chap you all think he may be. END OF.
  4. To be honset i dont give a dam about his image the same as he didnt with his attitude to this matter.I could of taken it much further but i didnt. If people now see him in a bad light or me so be it as i dont care. why would someone who was given everything steep to something this low, you tell me. Was found out and paid the price. Everything i said is true and is no differant to items you see in the daily papers everyday about sportsmen apart from its on a forum. If anything i said is untrue he knows what to do but it isnt.
  5. They are not personal problems, it was a contract between companys.He is a profess sportsman and as in any sport you hear the good and bad. end of, i have said my bit.
  6. Think your find if does or he wouldnt of been found guilty and ordered to pay the money back to Meridian. He even changed his company address to try and avoid it and his maneger of 10 years sent it back not known at this address i had all the emails and texts from him admitting it so there was no way he would ever win in a court of law
  7. you are right, most dont stump up any money. i wouldnt be surprized if monster are paying very little but then again they have plenty a cash so maybe they are.
  8. Maybe he will but i doudt it very much as his time has past him by. Even if he does what is the chance of him ever becoming W/C ? None really as he cant even beat the current crop of riders and there are many much better younger riders coming on the scene now. Like to many riders he was a super star before he got to the top and took his eye off the ball a long time ago. Cheers mate, they do say kindness is a weakness and in the case of speedway riders this is very true.
  9. Yes Monster is great to have as i said at the time and hopefully will bring amuch needed younger fan base. however look at the last 10 years and see how many have come and gone. if you take away the polish city and product suppliers and such they have very few sponsors at all. as i said i dont think it is the product so much as the people selling it. companys you would think would jump at the chance as it is very inexpensive so why are they not ? maybe you could tell me ?
  10. More factual than positive Phil. Sweden hasnt been popular for ages. Stockholm is a nice place and maybe will attract a swedish sponsor as they havnt had one for as long as i can remember. i have always been pro sgp but always speak my mind right or wrong. There is a lack of sponsors in speedway in general and the sgp should have far more than they do now bearing in mind how much it costs. Maybe not the product but the salesman.
  11. There be waiting for the promoter to stump up more cash and have the water tight bsi contract written so they dont lose a penny Speedway is not popular at all in sweden now. Look at the two gp this year, no sponsor at all. Cant see many turning up for the swedish one
  12. Because he needs to be shown for the person he is.
  13. So after nearly 3 years i got my money back Pity he didnt pay it earlier and save the interest and court costs together with the bayliffs knocking on the door and the CCJ he now has . The money will now be sent to a good cause as it was never about the cash but the principal
  14. Indeed it seems i have. Been a bit busy lately and not had much time or interst for speedway . does not seem much has changed :-)
  15. Saw this come up and switched off striaght away.
  16. Na they tight as a crabs backside these days :-) when we sponsored the event back in 2007 /2008 we have 2 or 3 boxes and about 50 start line tickets along with 500 normal seat tickets all of which we gave away. i would imgine quite a few of these were sold on.
  17. The series should be the top riders in the world regardless of which country they come from. There is NO british rider currently worthy of a place in the gp.There are far better riders to choose from abroad as has been proved time and again.
  18. yes you are right, however entertainment has got worse and worse since img bought bsi. this is there flag ship event but done on a budget as their paying
  19. gutted, first year for as long as i can remember not going and they put entertainment on like this. maybe i will buy a ticket after all. watched nascar two weeks ago, they had Train among others as pre entertainment :-)
