oleoleole Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) For those of you who live within striking distance of Brandon you might want to make a note of this date in your diaries. Thursday 24th May, start time 7:45. Steve Brandon (BT Sport) will be hosting the evening and interviewing the BSPA Chairman, Keith Chapman. Everybody is welcome to attend with non-members only £3 and all proceeds to help Neil Vatcher and the GB Young Lions. The venue is The Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW (just down the hill from the stadium). It's a comfortable venue with a good bar (serving a particularly nice pint of Wye Valley's 'Butty Bach') and also serves hot drinks and light snacks. Here's your chance to hear the Chairman's thoughts and also an opportunity to put your questions directly to him. Everything you need to know is here; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk Twitter @NSSCspeedway Edited May 24, 2018 by oleoleole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleoleole Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Sorry. Just wanted to get this back to the top of the pile again. We are hoping for a good turnout for this event. It's very good of Keith to give up his evening and give us fans the opportunity to discuss the current state of British Speedway and its future. Everybody is welcome, only £3 entry and all money raised goes to help GB Youth speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's very good of him at all, accountability is surely part of the job (even if such events are few and far between). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him thanks for his time surely it is in his job description??? there are people on the forum who work fourty hours plus a week and often unsociable hours.

waytogo28 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Ask him the most essential question of all. Keith Chapman - Success or Failure leading the BSPA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisperer Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 You do realise that at some point during the evening he's gonna tell you where to go and storm out like he has done for the last 20 years ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he is entitled to do it if the audience are not respectful, and don't want to listen. If someone has a go at me when I have agreed to give them my night I would walk, the least the audience can do is be respectful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oleoleole Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Unfortunately we understand that Keith Chapman is unable to attend tonight's meeting at the NSSC. At this very late notice we are doing our best to fill the guest void. Of course our host, Steve Brandon, will have plenty to say anyway so we will still have an enjoyable evening. We hope to see plenty of you there despite being let down so late in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Jones Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I don't think i would describe it as an "iffy booking". NSSC had been promoting the evening for weeks, Buster would have known at the time he accepted that it was close to the Prague weekend and if he had doubts then it would have been simpler to decline his invitation. To leave it until hours before the club meeting was due to start, and, if I understand correctly use a third party to inform NSSC without any explanation is completely out of order. I understand also that he made himself unavailable to contact from anyone from Nuneaton who tried to speak to him . IMO that says more about Buster than any words could describe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that merely highlights that Buster is, was and will remain a law unto himself. Answerable to no-one. When he stands down ( unless like Putin and Xi he intends to rule forever ) will he just harangue and pester from the sidelines, as he did before he was elected as Chairperson?

Star Lady Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have no idea why he didn't turn up but will not make disparaging comments until I do. I just hope it wasn't because of illness or family crisis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NOT!!! added to the thread title with three exclamation marks suggests they were let down without good reason, at the last moment. The post saying it's off would more likely have said unless it was something very private.

Sadly this could apply collectively to all those that are part of the inner circle that presently run Speedway in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
