The White Knight Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I "liked" this post apart from the description of Messrs Bukkhave and Garcia, which is deplorable - the sentiment of the remainder of the post is fine I agree with you. I wouldn't haved 'Liked' the Post though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skid Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I bet you wouldn't say that if you were one of that 500. I know I wouldn't. :mad: Sounds like you aren't the Promoter loosing a small fortune, but as long as you can watch your 15 heats at her expense, then that's ok.

ch958 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Sounds like you aren't the Promoter loosing a small fortune, but as long as you can watch your 15 heats at her expense, then that's ok. well yes but if 5/600 is the crowd levels in div 2 the costs need to be cut - amateur/semi pro riders. You'd be surprised how popular a constant team line up would be also even without big names Cook must be costing a bomb - the likes of Worky can't afford the likes of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 This Saturday Workington who are just about keeping their heads above the water and are desperate to get their crowds above 500 Yes 500 are having to race a home meeting with 2 top riders missing because they are representing other clubs in the elite league championship or whatever it's called these days . Do we really need to keep spelling it out for people to understand ?? The saddest thing though Dean is its mostly self inflicted nonsense like this that renders the Sport such a basket case in Britain.. The basis of this whole Forum appears to be thread after thread of discussions around ludicrous self inflicted nonsense...... The current situation the Sport finds itself in has been predicted time after time after time on here over the years, as more and more nonsensical unfit for purpose decisions got made, yet none of the contributors of the BSF would claim to be Nostradamusesque I would imagine.. Everyone could just see it was heading down the pan because it was all so bleeding obvious it couldn't end up any other way... Yet amazingly, each AGM the Promoters, year on year, vote even more ludicrous self inflicted nonsense in to become their jointly owned operating model.... Best of luck to Workington (and other tracks who find themselves in the same situation) but let's be honest as the saying goes.. You couldnt make it up the way this Sport is ran could you..? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 SPOKE to someone today who had a conversation with a prominent promoter. He said that he was disappointed at what I wrote in SS and wondered why I was always putting British speedway down. It is in fine shape he said. What planet are some of these guys on? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What planet are some of these guys on?Didn't know that Saddam's spokesman from the last Gulf War has got involved with British Speedway..? Comical Ali wasnt it? "I tell you here and now, there are no coalition forces in Baghdad" was his line to the Worlds Press gathered about him. As 100 yards directly behind old 'Comical' rumbled 30 or so Coalition tanks heading directly towards him...😅 He could fit in nicely....😂 Edited September 15, 2017 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast forward to Sept 2018 and there will be 7 of the new 12 Premiership Clubs saying " if fans don't prove they want speedway enough to turn out in droves, they won't have it". And the BSPA Chairman says "The demise of speedway can only be laid at the door of the fans". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacksaw Jim Duggan Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) extremely disrespectful of two decent performers - I suspect both are a better man than you I'm not the kind of man to mollycoddle people and place them on a pedestal just because they ride a speeday bike - the two riders I mentioned are both crap, saying that isn't deplorable as mentioned by another poster - christ grow a back bone.

Why not name who the prominent promoter is?! Its not as if the mag is likely to get an interview with him/her in the near future is it, if they think you're always putting speedway down?!

Paulco Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 BECAUSE it would reveal the name of the guy who spoke to him and I don't want to do that. That's perfectly understandable .
