Â Screm i think it's all down to the meeting with the land owners, i don't think it would go ahead unless there was some kind of agreement with Mike Bowden, if that goes well then it's all go, without that like you say there would be little point in the meeting with the landowners, with only two years left on it, and it can't be transfered, then it would not be worth buying him out.

Â Some of the anti-Bowden posts have been a bit OTT at times,and thats not me having a dig at you personally,just answering your post.That said,giving some of the statements attributed to Bowden,I can well understand the ill-feeling toward your current promoter.

Roger MARTIN Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) The thing is you should never mix business with pleasure, i lost my respect like many for the promotor when he put one finger up to the supporters on bend two one friday evening at the SBA.

torpointfanatic22 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 As far as fisher goes I don't think he was ever likely to return to Plymouth (although I accept if Leicester go el he could double down with us). He has always stated he prefers bigger tracks and therefore I don't see him returning. Â As for the meeting yesterday well the local rag says there's nothing to see yet so it's more waiting sadly!

Cornish John Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I would like to remind all those who are slamming Mike Bowden that until 6 years ago Plymouth had not had a speedway team or track for 40 years. When you are cricising him for his personal life (nothing at all to do with you) or the way the team has run (come up with the money and have a go yourself) remember that he is responsible for the return of speedway to Plymouth and without him there would be no speedway here! I can speak with personal knowledge as my wife and I worked tirelessly with Mike for 18 months as his planning agents to beat the planners, the antis and the nimbys. Suggest you vent your spleen on them! Wether the consortium succeeds or not, get behind those working on your behalf and give support not venom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you vent your spleen on them! Wether the consortium succeeds or not, get behind those working on your behalf and give support not venom.  I agree with you that Mike resurrected speedway in Plymouth after many years The criticism of Mike & his family is not as a result of what goes on behind closed doors but what goes on in the public arena when paying members of the public are made to be witness the rows and foul language that has taken place at the SBA this year and the fact that even riders have gone public about the amount of money owed to them. How can you suggest that the fan base should support Mike & his family after the shenanigans of the last 4 or 5 months, it’s not the nimbys etc that should get the blame, they have done what they thought was right at the time as are the fans of today, Mike deserves praise for bringing speedway back to Plymouth but if he continues like this then he will also be responsible for its demise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
