Plymouth 2012


Recommended Posts

Without going too much into this Nicki isn't the only one and this runs deeper than sadly I or any fan of Plymouth Speedway would want. I can only hope someone forces the poison that is Mr Bowden out of the club, the man is a total and utter disgrace.

 

Mike i don't always agree with you, but on this one i do 100%, the sooner Bowden goes the better it will be for the club, he is a complete disgrace and more.

When you read the article someone should remind him he has had six home meetings,and only 3 away to pay for,so id imagine hes quite lucky,when you look at some teams they have had more away than home which must be a real killer to finance

 

I wonder if the riders no they have agreed to a pay cut!!!!

I thought Plymouth had so many fans beating down the doors of the St Boniface Arena (Arena? So I imagine it has all the amenties of the Norfolk Arena, of maybe Wembley Arena, or all those indoor Arenas that popped up in other cities. Or maybe "Arena" was cheaper to pain on a sign than "Hole In The Ground") that the gravitational pull of the earh was altered by so many people standing in the same place on a Friday night.

 

It's called cashflow - I presume those matches that were rained off will be restaged?

 

This has the same stench as last year, when the BSPA should have god rid altogether. Shame for the Plymouth fans, yadda yadda yadda. Bigger shame for the Plymouth riders who aren't getting the Plymouth fans' cash.

 

Hopefully, if it lurches on long enough for there to be a decision to make, they won't make the same mistake again.

This to me is what would happen/happens if a club was ran by “forum fannies” chopping and changing riders every week, signing riders that a club should never be signing and just having a complete lack of reality as to where the club is.

The only forum fannies i ever see on this forum are people like you and backless, it's all about opinions, if you don't agree then thats your opinion, your comment about chopping and changing rider's every week shows how stupid your post is, the only thing that gets changed every week, is your medication, if your going to say anything, be real.

You are really going to leap to the defence of someone that has to change pay structure based on……the weather?

I you are going to say that Mike Bowden should be got shot of then i agree 100%, but don't come out with a statement that riders are changed every week, yes he is a disgrace, but you have to blame the people who run the league for letting him run a speedway club, the supporters just come on the site like all the supporters do, and air there opinions, surely thats what's it's all about, if you are going to say they if the club was run by forum fannies etc, then you will get a response.

You have taken my response out of context, I wasn’t calling any Plymouth fans “forum fannies” I have sympathy for them, I know what it is like to see my club ran by someone with a questionable plan.

 

When I said “forum fannies” I was referring to posters like alljack, who live in a world where speedway is ran like a fantasy game where you pick riders based on who you like and not signed to suit any structure or for thought of the clubs long term future.

 

People that run the league, possibly, but that shouldn’t take away the blame from Bowden, I appreciate the weather hasn’t been ideal this summer, it has been the same for every club in the country, however, the club isn’t the only one having to go without, riders are as well (full credit to them for making a sacrifice for the benefit of the club).

So, what about my suggestion that Rather than compound their error of last winter, the BSPA see sense & prevent him from running a speedway club?

Disgusted, disgraced and quite frankly the BSPA must get rid of him. Crowds are down a little on last season and whilst Mr Bowden will blame the weather, the economy, basically anything but his shambolic promotion. The problem is him and pretty much everyone and I mean everyone knows it. I've heard rumours of a new promotion on the horizon, I only hope to god that its true.
