PotteringAround

First I didn't say it was twitter. Second, my post on 9 January said the rumours that Woffinden was coming to Belle Vue were wrong. I've consistently said this right up to and including today. Never contradicted anything. However people who fell for the wind-up weeks ago, and were still falling for it today, do seem to be changing their minds and contradicting themselves now.

You continually tweeting he's coming to Belle Vue doesn't mean it was correct, and it won't change the fact that he isn't. Woffinden told Belle Vue at the SON that he'd like to come to the NSS, and it's the only track in Britain he'd ride for. At the same time, Robert Lambert also said he'd like to ride for Belle Vue. Lambert was never an option with Poland & Sweden in the offing, but they did have a brief chat with Woffy at the SON. At that time Oxford were thinking of going Premiership and were sniffing round a few possible No.1s including Max Fricke.... Within a week of the SON, it was clear that Woffy wasn't logistically possible, and Belle Vue quickly signed Fricke by the Peter Craven meeting the following week.

Told you all on Jan 9th the Woffinden thing was a cheeky wind-up. It still is.

Can't imagine Mulford wanting to make a 800 mile roundtrip to a weekend track, when he could be cleaning up in the local weekend grasstrack meetings.

Have Edinburgh forgotten that they have an NDL team? Danny Phillips, Tom Woolley and George Rothery haven't been signed anywhere else, so it seems a near certainly that they're back. Would expect the Millars back too, so why can't they name those 5? They need a heat leader, and Willie Lawson would fit the bill. Alternatively maybe Benji Compton? Either of those would leave room for a sub 5.00-pointer like Josh Embleton. What's taking so long?

We have no idea why you started talking about PLCs. But you did. You brought up Public Limited Companies when you lied, claiming to have run one. You seemed to think it made you some kind of expert on company law, when in fact it just exposed your lack of knowledge when you were found out. Ever heard the expression "When you're in a hole, stop digging"?

Oops.... But, didn't you just try to tell us a PLC was a Private Limited Company? LOL

LOL... NO, no, no A PLC is a "Public Limited Company".... A company which offers shares to the public via the stock market. Think you've just proved you haven't "run a PLC" Ltd.

Not sure what you think a PLC is, but it's a company where its shares are traded to the public on the stock market.

LOL. For someone claiming to have floated a company on the stock exchange, your post is rather a lot of misunderstood nonsense. From the limited amount of information filed at Companies House it's impossible to see the full story, but I can make a decent stab at what has happened. Haven't got time now, but I'll try to explain some of it later unless someone else does it in the meantime.

Doesn't open on anyone's computer. It's just gibberish.

Maybe Stanley Unwin could?

Wrong again. The Belle Vue company directors are William Anthony Rice and Robin Simon Southwell. They're the people responsible for the club. But in more interesting matters, Blodorn looks like a decent signing. Good to see a young newcomer coming to British Speedway. He seems to be quite a prospect.

Lots of us like to read about old riders. And the biographies of this random set of old riders are a mere click away. Nice and neatly stored here:- http://www.speedwaymuseumonline.co.uk/riders profiles.html Easy to read for everyone. What people get fed up with is someone stupidly cutting and pasting every word from every page of a website onto here. All it needed was the original link to http://www.speedwaymuseumonline.co.uk/riders profiles.html in one post. And then people could read all they want and discuss any memories to their hearts content. And the stupid cutting and pasting isn't done through ignorance or lack of knowledge. The perpetrator has been told enough times. It's purely done to be disruptive.

Well, I googled "people who went to speedway in 1946" and it brought up this Indian version of wikipedia See Here

And there aren't 40,994 members of this forum. Viewers of this thread are the same few dozen people over and over again. Whereas visitors to Wimbledon speedway stadium were millions of people over many decades. What was the point of the comparison?

Oxford are a new track opening, starting from scratch in the NDL Belle Vue opened a new track in 2016 and started an NDL team from scratch. Did you feel equally insulted when they threw in a 16-year-old non-speedway rider who had never taken part in the British Youth series and had never even raced a competitive second-half junior league race?

Jamie Halder and Sam Woolley complete the Kent team.

I've got the same figures as you. With a couple of 3.00, they'd be at 40.99. So over the limit. Averages are reduced by 8% if a rider has missed a full year due to injury. Stoneman missed 2021 and Hopwood missed 2019 and 2021. Not sure if either or both riders were missing due to injury, but if we give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were both injured and couldn't ride, and give them both 8% reduction, then Stoneman becomes 7.56 and Hopwood 6.59, and it would fit.

Kent sign Joe Alcock and Chris Watts

Great minds think alike. Oxford Cheetahs and Oxford Chargers. I quite like that. Much better than every feline nicknamed club calling their junior side "Cubs".

As long as you realise your mistake, you've learnt something.

Again, someone is pulling your plonker. All speedway clubs are small entities, so they don't have to file a P&L account with companies house. They only have to file micro accounts which are just an abbreviated balance sheet, and don't show any P&L information.

LOL. If someone is telling you that a speedway club has lost over £1.1 million in two years, they're pulling your plonker. And if they had, I don't think they'd be telling every keyboard fan. I'd suggest the only people with sight of the club p&L account are the two owners and their accountants. So unless your insider info has come from them, I think you've been had.

But we already know the rider in question was Mike Bessent.
