I presume you've posted the wrong link. The link you posted seems to go to an old, incomplete and abandoned website whose only "news" item is that two events will be held in Hertfordshire last February. That's not news unless you've got a time machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps referring to some lady that apparently maintains it but his name is literally all over it, hence this insatiable desire of his to go on about it.

The Doctor... Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, gustix said: I am disheartened in regard to the receipt on this from in regard to Speedway Museum Online. It was originally created some 10 years ago to help the WSRA. The originators then lost interest in the project but asked a lady to take it over. She was not a speedway follower but the wife of a man who had an administrative role at Milton Keynes - that indicates how long ago her participation started. Since then despite her scant knowledge of speedway - which sadly sometimes reflects itself - over those years she has endeavoured to not only try to keep Speedway Museum Online active but met at her own expense the charges related to websites. My own participation on the website is only as a contributor of items which I think may be of interest - and most likely are not. Were there more people prepared to forward historical material this 'glaring horror' in regard to myself would not be so obvious. For her part the Moderator/Owner welcomes comment from users but these should be made directly to Speedway Museum Online as she is not a member of this group. If they have scant knowledge of speedway, perhaps someone should take the site off the poor lady's hands. If anything, i would say the contributors are exploiting the lady's good nature by not making that offer. It will be costing her money each year for what looks like a vanity project for half a dozen contributors when the reality is it could be done a lot more slicker by someone who actually gave a monkeys.

Just a further word - the lady concerned was asked by two WSRA members to take over running the website because they could find nobody interested in handling the venture. Over the past two years I have tried - vainly it seems now - to try and help her by providing items for use on the website. With recent comments on this thread in regard to these offerings I now realise that any help which IMO I have tried to give has all been wasted and wrongly placed effort on my part. So you've just backed up what i wrote then. No one else could be bothered so they roped her into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has sections for visitors to comment - you don't have to register - and I am sure its Moderator ill be 'delighted' to read, study and take note of your valued (!!!!) opinion? http://www.speedwaymuseumonline.co.uk/welcome.html You asked a question, which you asked way back and you got the answer. Why keep going over the same things again and again ? Abd you certainly have no reason to be sarcastic about who or who doesn’t have a ‘valued opinion’ with some of the stuff you come out with and even admitting you don’t do research !!!

IT IS NOT linked in anyway to the Speedway Museum at Broxbourne or th´WSRA. They have their own website. The Speedway Museum Onlin in its present standing is operated by one moderator. It makes no pretrnce or posturing towards 'official recognition.' Nor as I understand it does it seek such recognition. The Speedway Museum Online originally had links with both the Museum at Broxbourne and the WSRA but these ended about three years ago. As it now stands it is the effort and input of one person. Basically "a hobby forum". That factor should be borne in mind when criticism and in (rare cases!!) praise is offered to its items. Not sure anyone is confusing this site with the Speedway Museum ? Can you pint out any posts that have done ? I think the only one who can be accused of confusing things is yourself, after all, you have posted this and other links to this site in the Speedway Museum section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
