richsimpson Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 British Speedway is currently in the position where all the dodgy deals, cartels and illegal ways of working over the years have almost killed the sport. I believe that transparency is the way forward and that by the fans knowing how the sport works and operates it may actually get the sport breathing again. It's not got many more chances. In the modern day transparency in most operations is absolutely key. Didn't catch your name Mr Sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ignoring my questions? Fair enough pal, I've got nothing to hide behind, I am a fan saddened by "Officials" airing there dirty laundry in public, whether that be you or any of the other Social Media gaffes this season. So you'd include Middlo in that then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david2905 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Oh really, perhaps you would like to enlighten us. NO Poole fan wants to see ANY club shut down. Why shouldn't air horns be used, you live in a bleedin town centre with more noise than that surrounding the stadium. What numptie came up with that?? How daft the rule is, is an irrelevance, we didn't come up with it, we were told take it or leave it, the point has been made many times the nearby A34 is something less than quiet, but it's not Birmingham Speedway you need to convince, if you want to try and convince Birmingham City Council otherwise, be our guest, but if Tony Mole and numerous other influential people coulden't get them to budge on noise for many years, I doubt you'll have much luck getting them to back air horns. ....but surely that side got you to the top of the league and into the final! That it did, but assuming a new points limit of 38 ish, are some of them the best options ?, I'm not denying their achievements in 2013, but 2014 is going to be very different both in terms of rules and the riders forming all the teams. The points limit ensures that successful sides have to be taken apart for the following season, and this one will be more drastic than any for some years.

LisaColette Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 The numptys that run our council Starman6. It was a proviso of our planning permission that No AIR HORNS were to be used at Perry Barr. Which Tony Mole readily agreed to so that the Brummies could once again take their rightful place back in Speedway, It states in the programme that air horns are banned and despite several requests from supporters, myself being one, and requests over the tannoy as to refrain from using them Poole suppoters continued to do do even whilst the announcement was being made.The request was met with a torrent of abuse, mine was " if you want it come and get it" unfortunately I'm on crutches otherwise I would have done and probably rammed it happily down her throat! Especially after she commented so what we don't care!!!! Edinburgh and Newcastle, both came to Brum in the PL days by the coach loads and played the game the Scots even had the bagpipes but not an air horn in site and we had not an Iota of trouble with either set of supporters. Is it any wonder Poole are the most reviled team in British speedway? Because of 2/3 people using airhorns. Why were they not removed from the stadium if they won't comply with the 'no air horn' rule? Thought Poole were hated cos of Matt Ford. Make up your mind, or is there a long list!

Starman2006 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 How daft the rule is, is an irrelevance, we didn't come up with it, we were told take it or leave it. Who by? Because if it was the council then they are a bunch of numpties shut in their office's dictating, yet never venture outside to see the real world.. If they venture out and around perry barr I would suggest they take ear muff's, because Airhorns would be the ,least of there problems..

Your spot on there, doesn't change the issue and ruling we have to abide by however. Because of 2/3 people using airhorns. More the reaction when asked to not use them.

stevebrum Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Think airhorn gate is a bit of an overreaction. It is, by you're fellow Poole fans on here. Oh really, perhaps you would like to enlighten us. NO Poole fan wants to see ANY club shut down. Why shouldn't air horns be used, you live in a bleedin town centre with more noise than that surrounding the stadium. What numptie came up with that?? Selective in your reading i take it.

I just wonder had you had Stock car racing at perry bar the same rules would have applied?? s It's not us involved with Birmingham Speedway who are blinkered, if your offered a choice between speedway with strings attached and no speedway (who knows how long for), what would you do ?. Brimingham Speedway have no say in the noise matter if we wish to continue operating, thats the basic fact here, we don't like it, but we don't have a choice.

Poole Quay 7 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) As a matter of interest, when they have rock concerts etc at Villa Park, which is close to Perry Barr and also a residential area ( apart from the Trinity Road, Aston Park side ) - do they have the concerts in the day time to stop any complaints? Bon Jovi had a gig in June 2013 and they must have been a lot louder than some air horns!? Edited October 18, 2013 by Poole Quay 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me as though the council have an issue with Speedway, but for some reason couldn't stop them running the sport at Perry Barr..

Rude ? informative I would suggest... Have some friends who live in Naples, gated community and all that, can't get the price they paid so can't afford to come home, they can't wait -..herropes confirms this after a visit a couple of years back.. All good beaches privately owned, commercially horrible and full of doddery old Bush types... Actually, ideal for the myopic Poole poster..
