Whisperer Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 As an officer of and on behalf of Class Trend Ltd trading as Sheffield Speedway I thank David Hoggart for HIS personal gesture that HE will match this donation should The Consortium complete the purchase of Sheffield Speedway from Neil Machin . . . I don't think it's any secret how bitter Machin is towards the BSPA but to turn on his Co-promoter like this after a moment of light hearted banter to raise a few quid for charity is despicable. Anyone who has had the remotest of contact with the SRBF knows just how much work Hoggy has put in to contribute. I'll bet his auctions have raised a five figure sum over the years and knowing what I know about him every penny of this stunt would have been heading to our injured riders. Shameful and sad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Duppcomic Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Whoever posted that did Neil no favours at all. Dear oh dear. Have you ever seen Neil post on here? Nah I reckon it's a hoax. Neil is far too professional.

Massey Harris Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Can anyone explain the difference between a shot in the foot and a foot in the mouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowman Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Can anyone explain the difference between a shot in the foot and a foot in the mouth? About 5 feet in my particular case. And before anyone says, yes I'm a short ar(person). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 So the new promotion aren't in place yet, they have already explained that these things take time and a legal process has to be followed. We have the most positive news coming out of Owlerton for some time, everone except you is enthusiastic and you have to make the point on here? WTF are you on? What he's on is jealousy, big time (whoever he might be). The remarks made on this thread and elsewhere are in stark contrast to those made at the beginning of last season, and he simply can't stomach that. Comments made as a result of envy are absolutely worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Duppcomic Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) He was called Dave aka the RealDL until last night. And he's changed his profile description this morning asking the fans to remain patient! How patient is he being? Wonder who and why?

I would respectfully request that fans remain patient whilst the club is currently engaged in confidential sale negotiations. <abuse removed> If this is NOT a hoax and he really is an officer of the new administration I hope he learns to show greater respect for the paying public than he does for his fellow-directors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Hoggy could enlighten everyone as to the credentials of this poster - as to whether or not he is genuine - i.e. The Real Deal!

Stan Duppcomic Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 He is claiming to be from the OLD administration overseeing the sale. Nothing to do with the people coming in fourth bender. If his is what the consortium are dealing with no wonder the transaction is dragging on. Anyone would think he doesn't want it to happen! I would think Hoggy would be advised to steer clear of this buffoon's posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Hoggy would be advised to steer clear of this buffoon's posts! I'm confused. He claims to represent the OLD administration but is back-peddling on Hoggy's offer on behalf of the NEW administration. Who's running the show?

Stan Duppcomic Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 No. What he is saying is that because the deal isn't finalised he doesn't want the old regime saddled with a massive liability that may reach ooh £120. Therefore he is saying that Hoggy is doing it off his own bat not on behalf of The existing promotion. Penny pinching to the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Surely this was meant as a joke. Rather sad individual if not. Think an explanation from said poster would be appropriate, so that we know the full facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think an explanation from said poster would be appropriate, so that we know the full facts. I think the whole thing says more about the delusioned poster, than Hoggy and the consortium. There must be loads of things to do with the transfer of the business, planning the new team, and buying and arranging the new air fence, and it is these things that should be everyone's concentration at the moment. There is renewed enthusiasm in Sheffield posters on here and long may it continue. Edited January 25, 2014 by Tsunami 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Tsunami is absolutely right, let's concentrate on what's coming. Steady's been training with Ash Birks and Josh Bates at Ryan Rhodes boxing gym, so he's really pumped up for the new season and apparently very happy with the way team buildings been going.I'll take this opportunity to wish Ash (another Sheffield lad) good luck for the new season after his horrific injury, although bizarre how it occurred.

big johnowls Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 So back to team building. Are people still expecting Andre to be announced? If so Is his average 4.36? If so who is available at more than 4.36 but no more than 4.85? as we only have 9.21 to play with and obviously ideal for him to start at reserve. Any ideas?

Stan Duppcomic Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 No ideas but the way this is shaping I think the likelihood of them naming Andre, and him being at reserve are very high. Loving this team. Clearly well thought through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looking at who is available it might be that if Andre is coming back he might have to go into the top five with A.N.Other at reserve. IMO can't see that being a major issue, but what a rider to have at reserve he could prove to be. Plus he'd be a big help to young Josh and would allow him to be brought on, allowing him to develop at a steady pace. Personally I would like to see Albin return to the team, with some better machinery, as I think having a second year might release some of that potential I believe he possesses. Back to Andre though as I've posted before I think he could easily improve, at least two points on that average. Still lets wait and see what's delivered this week by the new promotion!

OdsalBoy Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Andre will be confirmed soon I reckon and then I think he will be joined by one of Koppe or Albin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
