JC!

It's for Moto X, I think, a new junior track.

Stalker alert. I can happily accept you calling me delusional, keep covering those tracks.

Again, not here to answer your questions. You made a cheap shot and got called on it, get over it, your life will go on.

Good post, very clear.

Here you are, attempting to take the moral high ground - fooling nobody. Oh, and I'm not here to answer your questions so you'll have a long wait.

Yeah sure you did. Might be easier to believe if Ian had compared their riding careers - you just took the opportunity to take a cheap shot. At least be big enough to accept that when you are called out, back pedalling like this makes you look, quite frankly ridiculous.

Again, PC put himself in a position where he wrote, and publicised, his book - those around him, including his publisher, knew his condition. You can carry on excusing him, but, he was out of order and has apologised accordingly.

What do his riding achievements have to do with this? Or are you just being juvenile and spiteful? Maybe contact him about this, he seems like a reasonable person and would likely hear you out.

Despite this being 6 years ago, it's interesting that this is so similar to the current thread. I guess some leopards really don't ever change their spots. I think BV would be more than justified to stop offering PC olive branches now.

I think that this has been quoted earlier in this thread.

Agreed, no objectivity currently. I think the financial troubles with the parent company of the shopping centre gives more room for optimism than in the past as they are not so likely to be eyeing up the land. Hope this succeeds, no tracks within an hour of me currently so not been a regular attendee since Rye closed.

Hopefully the appropriate lessons have been learnt.

What a strange comment. I agree that it is probably best to take the apology at face value, even if it appears carefully crafted following criticism. The second part, however, implies that he is above reproach because he was a fine rider. If people are, however, disappointed with his behaviour surely this is a mature enough environment to at least discuss it - whether that is palatable to you as a fan or not.

Whilst this could be seen as a calculated, cynical PR attempt to restore his battered reputation, I think that you have to try to take his apology at face value. Hopefully PC may have learned from this sorry episode that life really is too short to carry this sort of petty baggage.

Who said it didn't? Not sure I understand the point you are trying to make. My position is absolutely clear - I don't think anyone should be guaranteed entry to spectate because of their previous employment. They should only get free entry if they deliver equivalent or more value than the entry fee. If a promotion wants to let people in for free it's their call, but it should not be guaranteed or, as appears in some cases, demanded. If former referees get in for free, I would suggest the policy should be reviewed on a regular basis, based on business goals and strategy. I can't see how their attendance would add value personally.
