StevePark Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I genuinely believe the high figure placed on Kus is just there to put another team off, no one in their right mind would pay the figures that are rumoured, and the Havelocks no that. They really want Kus to stay at Redcar, hence the reason for asking silly money. This is why it is important to a riders livelyhood that the BSPA should intervene with arbitration. That's as maybe, but why would anyone want to keep a rider to ride for them who has handed in a transfer request and, therefore, doesn't want to ride for them? Seems daft to me.

Seems daft to me. i would agree, however Kus is apparently bessies with one of the new sponsors so maybe he can be persuaded to stay, not that all Bears fans actually want that!

To The Point Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 That's as maybe, but why would anyone want to keep a rider to ride for them who has handed in a transfer request and, therefore, doesn't want to ride for them? Seems daft to me. Then, to put it simply, why put an unrealistic figure on the purchase of a rider, other than out of spite, if we can't hve him then no one else can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run by wa..... and watched by w********** until they see sense and chuck him. Joking aside, how many fans over all our leagues just 'shut up' lest the 'plug be pulled' and speedway is lost in their community. For all their faults, be they single person based or not, they have the business acumen necessary to continue to promote speedway. Can we afford to expunge the 'aging dinosaur' who at least keeps a club 'alive' merely to unearth the 'fossil' a decade down the road bemoaning how yet another club was lost to our beloved sport.

Actually he is only a minority shareholder, so if he departed it might well not be the end of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePark Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 So what? The directors could appoint anyone with some background knowledge to that. You mean they could apply to become a promoter and go through the process of being accepted (or rejected) by the BSPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 You mean they could apply to become a promoter and go through the process of being accepted (or rejected) by the BSPA. What I mean is that you don't have to own a club to be named as promoter, the owners might decide to appoint someone as promoter or even have joint promoters. So if for instance BH decided to retire and his shares were bought up, the shareholders would then decide who was to be named as promoter.

ch958 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 i think what this sponsorship package does show is that it is possible to get financial support with some work. Lets face it if you can get money in a depressed area like Teesside you can get it anywhere. Well done Ian Drinkell who is responsible for securing this support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
