uk_martin Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Buster Chapman will be live on Facebook next week. It'll be speedway fans chance to fire questions at him and for him to answer live. You can tweet them in to #askkeith in advance if you want, and no doubt all the serious questions will be asked, won't they? You can then ask more questions on Twitter or on Facebook Live by adding comments on the day. No doubt the comments with questions will flow thick and fast, so it's easy to miss them. Much better to tweet in advance and if you see a question that you like, retweet it, to gain it some gravitas. SO... what are the questions that you want to ask? Let's start with: 1. What the hell is going on at Coventry? 2. When will the humble fan know what is going on at Belle Vue, and who the promoters will be? 3. How do we know for sure that Swindon won't share the same fate as Reading? 4. Why was the SWC switched from the NATIONAL Speedway Stadium to your own stadium at Kings Lynn? ...and over to you for the rest..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Why did the bspa invest £360,000 into the GTR project when there are clubs struggling for air fences and junior leagues having to fund everything themselves?

ch958 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Why did the bspa invest £360,000 into the GTR project when there are clubs struggling for air fences and junior leagues having to fund everything themselves? because long term a mechanical solution to costs was needed - if not junior leagues and air fences wont be needed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will answer question 4 already for you- in previous years BSI/IMG have used Kings Lynn for the SWC. in 2016 they did a deal with Belle Vue. In 2017 they are returning to Lynn. Switching doesn`t come into it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solution may/may not be needed (cough cough rev limiters) however I don't feel it's the bspa's place to invest many people's hard earned into any business venture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skid Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 360K!! They could have used that to pay the Riders who are still owed money by their own Members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sorry didn't realise you were buster? A solution may/may not be needed (cough cough rev limiters) however I don't feel it's the bspa's place to invest many people's hard earned into any business venture Or as it is known in the business as SKY money. 360K!! They could have used that to pay the Riders who are still owed money by their own Members. So a fraudulent promotion could just plod on with more debts knowing the BSPA will pay all the bills. I will answer question 4 already for you- in previous years BSI/IMG have used Kings Lynn for the SWC. in 2016 they did a deal with Belle Vue. In 2017 they are returning to Lynn. Switching doesn`t come into it. Got to remember r and r, it is the well known troublesome uk martin who was asking that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Head Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Technical trouble seems to have scuppered this event. I'll leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Well its all gone so well so far!! 23 seconds of Nigel Pearson's voice (which can be enough for some people) and then nothing!!! So the top man in our sport's association plus a full time media specialist and we still can't get it right. Why didn't they use someone who's done it successfully before - like the Glasgow boys or the Piratecast team!!??

Falcon Hammer Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 On FB now, not live & cut short - didn't seem positive when Coventry mentioned 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 So clearly an attempt to resolve their technical issues by recording a 7min 54 sec video which is now on facebook. However it stops in mid-question so maybe there will be several 7minute clips to follow?! Buster's had an email from Coventry but cannot reveal its contents before discussing with other members of the MC and others 'in speedway'!!

waytogo28 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sadly the technical problems were expected by many and even more sadly that is what happened! Speedway's tendency to shoot itself in the foot comes to pass again. Thankfully not many in the outside world know ( or care ) about speedway and what is happening to it. Just as the all too regular problem of the starting tapes not working at matches ( since time immemorial ) it's a case of 'ere we go again.
