spiegal Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Your posts are numerous in the extreme, and i live in patient yearning that one day something positive will come from the ether.....but a long long wait awaits me thinks. But amongst the bitter dross occassionally comes some well judged reasoned opinion Having dealt with our Russian friends in years past, and even now sometimes to ice events, you ain't far wrong brother in this assessment. There are stories how one organisation simply daren't leave the stadium at anytime as they feared all Tv equipment would go walkies, along with just about anything that wasn't nailed down and guarded by some of the biggest Gorillas you could imagine. I am not privy to teh reasons why BSI never went to Russia, but I have a fair idea.....and in my book your words are sound and have more than ample pearls of wisdom. It can be a very dangerous, intimidating, complicated, myserious place to visit.....and if I ever upset them (again) I will not take tea with them !

uk_martin Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think we have to accept that ukmartin is totally blinkered and obsessive when it comes to Polish speedway matters...blah blah blah... Just like BSI/IMG and most other companies that that involves themselves in sport as either sponsors and or promoters. Don't worry, maybe we just have to accept that rmc is just as blinkered and obsessive about his personal vendetta against me. He can't or won't answer the points I raise in debate logically so like he has on numerous occasions in the past, he has to resort to personal attacks and abuse, knowing that none of the moderators ever enforce the rule of "attacking the post not the poster". Sad really...very very sad. I'm not interested enough in speedway these days Really? I'm dumbfounded by that one. I'm also not close enough to the speedway powers-that-be to 'arrange' the rights because they don't seem to be tendered. A very bold accusation of probable impropriety there. Do you have the evidence to back it up or does your lack of interest in speedway mean that the evidence has passed you by? It's not about not running showcase events, but about who runs them. Well of course it is...and if they happen to be Polish then get them guns a'blazing! Then why does Barry Hearn not promote speedway... Maybe he's got more sense.

Do you have the evidence to back it up or does your lack of interest in speedway mean that the evidence has passed you by? I think you're reading far more in this than what I actually said. The fact of matter though, is that any prospective promoter needs to know the commercial rights are on offer in the first place, or have the contacts to lobby for them. I've never seen these sorts of things advertised. Of course impropriety had happened in other sports of which there's plenty of evidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Actually no, this island's name is not usually translated into German. It is known and referred to only by the name "Ascention" here, too. But this is not so with the Easter Island, which is generally refered to as the "Osterinsel" in German.

RobMcCaffery Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) A shame to see that the Brits is still not present? Still afraid of upsetting BSI? I have long appreciated your information and insight regarding Swedish Speedway, but if you really believe that the relationship between British Speedway and BSI is anything like that I really would suggest you stick to commenting on your own country since you clearly have no clue at all regarding matters here. The stupidity of your comment beggars belief. Sadly you're not the only one who's fallen for the One Sport parasite's propaganda. I really thought better of you. It has been pointed out ad nauseam that the BSPA have boycotted One Sport Events because they deplore yet more insignificant international open meetings being added to the calendar and conflicting with British Speedway. I am beginning to wonder if it is wilful ignorance, not only by yourself but of those who cannot see that British Speedway is fighting for its existence here. Whether you agree with the BSPA's attempts to protect 80+ years of racing in this country, especially at weekends, at least understand that the last people that the BSPA or indeed the British Speedway community would worry about upsetting is BSI whose activities have sucked the sport dry in this country. But then it's easier to make cheap jibes than think or listen, isn't it? One Sport may work hand-in-hand with Polish Speedway but to suggest that the relationship between BSI and the BSPA is similar is quite frankly beneath contempt.

British Speedway, for better or worse, tries to organise a regular weekly structure of events providing 200 or so riders with paid employment. These European open events are simply being organised by parasitical commercial companies off the back of the professional leagues, who derive no benefit from them. I can't see how speedway events being reduced to running with select teams with no connection to anything other than their sponsors, can really be a step forward for the sport, or understand how people can buy into the concept whilst criticising long established leagues trying to run viable fixture lists.
