Buxton 2016

Why do you keep attacking Jason Pipe? do you actually know him?

 

Attacking is a little strong? My comments are based upon his actions and attitudes towards riders both via public statements & private conversations i have had with various parties. Its certainly not a witch hunt against Pipe but "in my opinion" he has had a negative impact on Buxton.

I know him enough to be able to form my opinions in the same way that i know you enough to be able to do likewise.

You don't know me at all. I do know Jason Pipe and he doesn't strike me in that way at all.

Sorry, but I think I will give up trying to work out what they are trying to do with fixtures. The match I intended going to on 18 Sep now reserved only (no explanation given for the change). Both league home fixtures which need to be arranged (if indeed they will be) both opponents have matches on the 11th and 18th September (not sure 11th September would be a good date with PLRC Sheffield same date), Try to support Buxton when I can, not very easy as things are going. Some clues from the promotion would held. I also assume that the early season Stoke "air fence" match will not take place.

It looks to me that Buxton are a team that many have a lot of time for, the same can not be said for Jason Pipe. My experience of managers (sport and working life) is that when they start openly blaming their own team members then they have nothing else to offer that team. Yes, "behind closed doors" you can do so, of course.. but not in press releases.....and its not just this season either.

Yes, I’ve got a lot of time for Buxton Speedway.

On a nice, sunny day it is a great place to watch speedway action.

Some of the facilities are a bit lacking and I am not sure that the place does enough to promote itself or even keep it's followers informed but resources are obviously limited.

 

With regard to Jason Pipe, I do not know the man and am in no position to pass judgement on him. When I have spoken to him, he has always appeared pleasant enough.

 

What is rather irksome with Buxton is the short lifespan of so many team members!

You are just about getting used to who is in the line-up before the musical chairs starts again and riders move up and down and sideways or disappear altogether. Obviously, injury plays a part in this but it cannot be the only reason.

 

Now whether this churn of riders is the fault of the aforesaid Jason Pipe, I know not.

Perhaps there are forces in play of which we know nothing and the team manager has to go with the flow.

 

I was sorry to see David Speight disappear from Buxton, as I always thought that he was a pretty decent rider and the way that he was flying at the recent grasstrack meeting at Kelsall confirmed my opinion.

 

I hope that Buxton can find the resources to hang on in there because despite their limitations, they would be sorely missed.

 

Just my opinion, obviously.

Cradley Fixture now September 11th. Pity they do not have earlier start time. Would have considered doing this and PLRC same day. Sure a few others would have.

BSPA's fixture page have September 18th for Buxton Birmingham match. I believe this was the original date. Still reserved on Buxton's fixture page. So, does this mean, BSPA's date was never updated, and so this is wrong, or has it been re-arranged and the clubs have decided not to tell us (or are there other options I have not thought about).

We were hoping to get the meeting on as the rain had stopped in town. Unfortunately that isnt the case at the track and it is just too wet to get the meeting on. Apologies to anyone who had set off.

Oh so sorry its off would have liked to see Jack Lee going up against Jason still if its re run might still happen

To day has been a lovely day, yet at the same time hugely disappointing.

We left Norfolk at 7.30am this morning, and drove to the Peak District to support KIng's Lynn im their speedway meeting at Buxton.

We had a trouble free journey, under mainly cloudy skies, arriving at Bakewell soon after 10.00am

We treated ourselves to a lovely fish 'n chip diiner in our favourite restaurant, shielding our eyes from the bright sunlight.

We left there and went and sat by the river and enjoyed a very overpriced ice cream, when suddenly a text message came through saying it was raining in Buxton, some 20-minutes up the road, saying the speedway had been cancelled, and there was us basking in the sun and 22 degrees. We then moved onto Matlock, but found it impossible to park anywhere, so have driven back through Chesterfield, Mansfield, Newark etc., and not once has the sun dipped down. So how unlucky were we to be that close to our destination.....that was covered in rain!!
