OGT Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Be great if all the members of the BSPA took a trip to a Tattoo and Piercing parlour before the AGM. Down with the kids and all that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 If this has been posted elsewhere, I do apologise, but here is a link to a Guardian newspaper article, which is quite moving towards the end and is worth a read.

Cockney Rebel Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I wasn't advocating that you switch your interest to F1. All I wanted to draw attention to is the clean cut way they present themselves off track. They are clean looking and immaculate. As I said presentable and acceptable to the public at large. I'm not going to join in the chorus condemning your "people of low intelligence" remark as I fully understand the point you were trying to put across, however looking at your above quote the "public at large" are not exactly flooding into the Speedway stadia up and down the country so maybe a change of image will bring some much needed new blood into the sport. As regards to other posters referring to "old Farts". Perlease! As part of that group I would prefer a little more respect, perhaps "the older generation with gastro/digestive problems" would be better.

Link:- http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2013/oct/11/tai-woffinden-speedway-world-championship-sport As a pedant I could pick a few holes with it but it's actually not a bad article at all, probably far better than the sport deserves.
