Triple.H. Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Mr Ore Before you come on here telling us what a wonderful company Imerys are,I suggest you get your facts right first. The Annear family started the St Austell Gulls at the Moto Parc in 1997 while the pit was owned by ECC International. Imerys bought out ECC in 1999. I would suggest that it is possible that if the French company had owned the land 3 years earlier , speedway may not have come to Cornwall at all. But maybe it would have.It's all hypothetical so nobody knows one way or the other. Or do you know for definite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient mariner Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Many thanks for an excellent and informed report. I admit that my own post was based on memory but I am pleased that you have not only supported my beliefs regarding Imerys contribution to speedway but gone beyond to advise how much more they gave to the local community for nothing in return. Definitely not a reason to be uncomplimentary towards them As a member of the National Trust (Yes we younger people also show an interest in preserving our heritage) I knew that there had been no objections in the manner suggested to Bodmin and yet many sheepishly followed with insults towards them on this forum. I must admit until now I only knew of the NT's innocence in all the allegations but had no idea of how it was assumed they had objected or that an outsider had (ab)used their stationery to support his or her own equally unjust prejudices . If the poster who proudly boasted at the time that he told the NT where they could stick their application for membership because of their "stance" would like to bend over and spread them I am sure they would willingly allow me to return the compliment on behalf of their wrongly maligned membership. KY gel not supplied. Surely the object in starting this thread was to support the good people of Kernow in their efforts to get a track to support again but the unnecessary and ill informed overtly xenophobic insults and borderline racist comments towards those who have put far more into this, than they would ever do themselves, at best doesn't help but equally could sway opinion in the opposite direction. Still the motto of many on here is, “never let the facts get in the way of a good moan”. More power you your elbow Barncooseboy and even greater thanks than before to the French who gave several years of positive support to the great Cornish speedway nation. You will have noted the qualification to my post whereby I stated that I regarded Barncooseboy as the authoritive source of information on this subject and so it has proved. Thank you to BCB for clarifying my approximate and only partially accurate recollection of events. It was quite possibly me who expressed my disappointment at the alleged objection by the NT (which we only now know to have been a fabrication by a person or persons unknown). I certainly stated that I had no intention of renewing my membership, based on my understanding at the time. I now know better. While the anagram of IMERYS was not used specifically in respect of the loss of the Trelawny track, you are surely not going to claim that the anagram never used? You are of course entirely welcome to practice whatever particular activities you wish, with or without the use of KY. I will decline your offer as you appear to be unnecessarily aggressive.

cityrebel Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 For those of us lucky enough to see speedway at the moto parc, we must agree on one thing. It was a brilliant race track!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
