Villain Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'd just like to add my support to whoever takes Plymouth Speedway into 2013. I'm based in Birmingham but travel to the West Country two or three times a year. I always make sure that my trips coincide with Plymouth home meetings - the racing is superb, there is always a good crowd, the track may be small and the facilities a bit bare but there is something about the place which keeps me coming back for more. I hope for the sake of all Plymouth fans that this mess is sorted out - you have a little gem at the SBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 My father is so totally p......d off with all the nasty vile comments that are posted on the forums and so I am and the rest of my family if this was written about you how would you feel. All this hype In the paper by certain staff have jumped the gun by saying certain things. My father has consulted his solicitors and what has been said is slander. You all know he built the track and has put a lot of effort in down at the SBA. Why don't you just wait and see what happens! Like last Fridays paper quoted my father still has his license. So please keep your remarks to yourself. Thats all well and good,but you must see some of the quotes that were attributed to your father in last fridays article as not excatly helpful,to say he will bulldoze the stadium and see how the fans like that does turn certain people against him.Maybe it was said in the heat of the moment,maybe he regrets his words but all its doing is strengthening the fans against him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballroom Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 plymouth fans are totally p....d off with your dad and you actually maybe behaving the way you all do is acceptable to your lot i.e look how many times the police has become involved in various incidents involving one or more members of your family so i suggest if you dont like reading peoples opinions started behaving in respectful manner keep the grandson well away from the sba hes nothing but trouble which even you would find hard to defend some of his behaviour,respect has to be earnt! Why don`t you forget the off-track politics and just go and watch? Why get involved. Your a fan just pay your dosh for the 15 heats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your a fan just pay your dosh for the 15 heats. the off track politics effect the fans when thier is foul mouthed slanging matches in front of supporters with thier kids waiting to get in,also its actually embarrasing at times to be aplymouth fan when he puts out teams with 4 reserves because hes to tight to get other riders plus riders refuse to guest for plymouth because they think they wont get paid i could go on but tbh plymouth has one of the largest attendances week in week out so thier is no excuse for his behaviour i am sure if the takeover is a success you will see a huge difference in the vibe coming from plymouth fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your a fan just pay your dosh for the 15 heats. It's not all about the off track politics, it's about going to a speedway meetings with members of your family like i do with my grandson and enjoying the meeting without having to be subject to fighting and swearing before the meeting has started, the kind of antics that has been going on you would not see at a football match, i'm sure most of the supporters don't care if the promotor makes some money, i know i don't and good luck to him, but please control your family at the meeting, because if you don't you will soon lose the respect of the people that support you like you have now at Plymouth.

None of you business if the riders are paid on not, most of that is hearsay, unless of course you can come on here and quote an actual Plymouth rider (and their official contract to verify it, together with the riders bank details) to the contrary. It does seem you and a few Plymouth fans are looking for every movement, every perceived slight coming from Bowden, to come on here and spill out your bile at every turn. Why not turn up at SBA to just watch the racing? It seems you are turning up just to make copious notes of that `awful` man Bowden. Now Bowden may not be everyone's cup of tea, not many bosses are, but he is the promotor/owner of Plymouth Speedway so he calls the shots. You are a fan and you pays your money (or not), that's it. Its not within your power, or remit, to have a say on the management of Plymouth Speedway, unless of course you have done what Bowden did and stump up your cash to buy it. As `Mini Jack` says earlier in this thread, and he`s an outsider/neutral, he loves going to Plymouth Speedway and he says the entertainment is first rate, as proven by some of the biggest league gates weekly in British Speedway. Its a pity a few Plymouth based fans, the tiny handful who spill out their non-stop whinging on here, just remember what their role is (a fan who pays to see 15 heats - which does not bring with it any executive role with the running of Plymouth Speedway) and just turn-up at SBA and enjoy whats on offer.

Pinny Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I think a few Plymouth fans have already stated why they dont just turn up and watch their speedway!!! Seeing the promoters family effing and blinding at each other and brawling outside the stadium in front of young supporters is disgraceful. Also there was a delay before a Plymouth home meeting not long ago because riders were refusing to ride because Bowden hadnt paid up, correct?? Leaving the fans not having a clue what was going on!! The fans who come on here from Plymouth have simply had a gutsful of this man and have every right to complain. As for writing complaints to Plymouth Speedway... LOL. I can only assume your a member of Bowdens family. I feel sorry for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't got a clue Ballroom, why do you think people don't go to football anymore, the same reason supporters are doing the same at Plymouth, it's very hard to watch the speedway when the police are there, and people are swearing next to where you are standing and fighting, the support is way down from last year, and the reason isn't hard to work out if you know what you are talking about, and have followed the club from the start, something you don't want to know, or have some other reason.

As an OAP that takes his grandchildren every Friday we are absolutely appaled by the antics going on at SBA. To see the grandson fighting with his grandad (Bowden) and mnissing him but actually punching his mother was not a pleasant sight to witness and yes it all went on in full view of us and not for the first time. Police have been called twice that I know of and itsnot to do with any supporters fighting its all about the family fighting.I even had to explain why Bowden had a grilfriend serving in the bar while his wife was taking the money on the gate. who in their right mind would allow that to happen! The language from 3 of the daughters and grandson has to be heard to be beleived and I decided that time has come to stop going or at least to stop taking my grandsons which is a shame because they loved the sport. Roll on a take over and maybe I will re-consider going with them again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ballroom has no tie up with plymouth-just read a few of the leicester threads and you will then know he is either Mr Hemsley or someone closely connected to the Lions promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal circumstances I and most Plymouth fans would probably agree with what is a well written post, but this situation is anything but normal and had you been through what the fans of the Devils have over the last 6 years you'd probably not have written it in quite the same way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I wish someone would clear things up regarding bowdens wife working at the track and his girlfriend in the bar!!
