Speedtiger

That’s what I mean is Mr Sandu behind Branden Estate Co Or has he sold out and moved on?

Who owns the stadium and site now is it still Mr Sandu or has he moved it on?

You both carnt be right then…or is it a case of recollections vary?

The SS is still a good read, full of very interesting articles and well produced, however sadly SS is a victim of the decline of speedway in the UK. The SS circulation numbers must have fallen off a cliff as the numbers of speedway spectators have plummeted. Just like the sport it supports SS must be becoming financially unsustainable.

Fair point Tony. Still a bit odd attitude by BV manger as PC is a BV Ace? But its better to go were you are welcome.

Good, I’ll be there but why not have this at NSS?

Affected supporter, compensation, so what’s all that about then?

Like many fans I were really looking to this meeting can NOT accept the poor excuses as they had plenty of time to sort out the track. No wonder the support for speedway had plummeted. The promoters showed no interest in trying to get the meeting on. They don’t deserve fans support.

Lemon should tell Zagar to ship up or ship out…will he? Imo Lemo is a very poor manager and it’s not his money that’s being spent on keeping Zagar. Just saying.

Age is irrelevant phil, he’s good one week and hopeless the next. 5 points is not good for such an experience ex GP rider as Zagar. The point is half of our meetings, including the play offs are away. He needs to shape up and deliver as I agree with others who do we replace him with??

Yes agree it was a difficult meeting with some good performances by bv lads but again disappointed about inconsistent Zagar = 5 + 1..!!! He is a very expensive luxury for us and not even trying. He clearly has little or no motivation. But will lemon have the balls to sack him?

Good solid win by Aces and top of the table but how poor are KL Stars, the standard of this years league is woefully bad. TV cameras showed how sparse the crowd was! Doesn’t make the sport look sustainable NOT a good image.

That’s not my point!

Exactly my point. I don’t care how much or how he’s paid that’s up to bv. My concern is when it comes to push and shove has he the balls to mix it..? At his age and stage in life with a young family, I’m not sure he has.

A concern for me is Zagar lack of scoring consistency. I were told by one of the BV pit staff that Zagar mechanic Phil told him that Zagar is not paid by points scored but gets a substantial fee per meeting thought to be £3000 plus expenses. So what’s his incentive to put the effort in? I wonder how many riders at BV have a similar fee deal?

Good meeting, 2 top teams and top racing and a really good result for Aces.. BUT OMG what a very poor crowd!! The camera shots made it even worse. What is the problem with British speedway?

That’s astonishing and why speedway is in the financial mess it is in. How can paying this level of money be sustainable. Plus he’ll probably have his airfares and hotels paid on top all for 4/5 minutes work.

He’s passed it and inconsistent. Great win by Tigers, they wanted it more than Aces.

I’ve been saying this for ages now, much to the annoyance of his lemonade palls, that Lemon is clueless, he makes basic errors almost every meeting. It’s like he never been in the sport. The way he’s sorted the team out or not as the case maybe this year is a complete disgrace. This is by far the worst bv team in years. Tbh IF Zagar comes back I don’t think things will change that much, we will still struggle. And Zagar sadly is not the rider he was and he will cost the club plenty of money and won’t guarantee to add much to the crowds.

Think you might be right…weather is well hit and miss tomorrow.

Tigers easy win.

Tigers win but think it will be a very close meeting.

The truth is bv has run up serious huge debts and losing over £100k each year. Guess these too riders each cost over £2500 each plus plus per meeting. As a business the way things are speedway just don’t work. More cash going out than cash coming in, result the sport is bust.

100% agree but he won’t come cheap!
