What the hell is the big secret? What are the promoters trying to achieve?

Has anybody say you can't voice adverse opinions. The answer is no. Just because people don't agree with each others opinions that is up to the person themselves. I have not seen anyone say you can't voice your opinion. You seem to get a little upset when someone don't agree with you, then you come up with a comment like that.

I think he feels his promoter does not listen and he will do exactly what he wants to.do.Yes he has every right to do that at Lynn and i respect that he puts his money in and that is his right.But overall unless there is an improvement in gates ( etc) and thing's look brighter he has to go as the front of British speedway.

He - Buster Chapman, has done nothing but compound the problems of UK speedway. With Godfrey alongside him, they back up each others poorly thought out plans and bulldoze on in a downward spiral for the sport. No-one else in the BSPA wants to take on the poisoned chalice of "leadership" because they know the end of the sport here, as we know it, is fast approaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, probably more than most typifies a lot of Stars posters on here where the comment is judged on who said it rather than what was said. My post never said 'anybody said anything' purely your interpretation, but as usual your adverse comments are directed to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lay far more of the blame for some of the awful stuff the last couple of years at hos door than Chapman. Bossing others around to suit his own team, running practice events outside the rules at his track, Holdergate and more I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Can’t believe there is no Witches v Stars and Stars v Witches fixtures on Good Friday that for me was the one thing I thought for certain would happen- missed opportunity I think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do folks feel with Lynn riding most of their matches on a Monday?Only 3 on a Thursday the rest on the Monday.It doesn't bother me at all as i work shifts and i would miss the same number of matches whatever day it was on,apart from Saturday or Sunday of course.People probably won't like it merely because it's on a Monday,the way i'm going to look at it is that it makes my weekend longer Edited January 25, 2019 by tellboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presuming there is a clash of course. Are Monday and Thursday now the UK days for speedway or is Lynn avoiding Wednesday due to the clash with Denmark?

You’ve read it differently to me then, I couldn’t see any such suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at least once way back in the day, there were a couple of Bobbies hanging around the back straight at Lynn in case the packed crowd got a bit exited . Would of been late 70's maybe early 80's. Edited January 25, 2019 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the Tiger went on to win the re-run and secure a Witches victory .... Happy days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
