Expand Thursday was an excellent performance given the race-day problems that had to be overcome, and I thought Carl got all the programme changes pretty much spot on. I always try and be fair and reasoned - it's just a shame I don't command the same respect from the new promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Let's just take the broken down van for example. When did it break down? Couldn't they hire a van? Couldn't the club get a van to him? This is supposed to be a pro sport, does that seem professional? Can you imagine say Hamiltons cat breaking down on the day of a race, oh okay Lewis, don't worry, we will use someone else. I used to love speedway, now I'm seriously starting to hate it., and my attendance is becoming less and less The sport in this country is so un professionall, its pathetic Edited August 24, 2019 by Baldyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in some cases it might be possible to rent a replacement van, or double-up with a team-mate (or opposition rider!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand What you know from Ged and I is factual, from face-to-face discussions - and you can be sure that should you misquote us we would let you know!

Baldyman Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yeah I didn't expect you to answer on this case, but when you promoted or joint promoted, efforts would have been made. So I can't think of any reason why he couldn't have been there,, maybe without his bikes, but he could have been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 No I don't know, thats correct, but someone does. Couldn't see the same result happening in proper pro sports.. Yeah I know speedway is different, it's the excuse always used. Thanks for being open and honest as always. Your views are always very much appreciated Neil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Acceptance wouldn't take long. I would expect a professional rider to be ready to ride at all times in case of a guest booking. I believe Ben lives in Essex. Once again, as the why, where, how isn't known it's not possible to draw any conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 In that case I would expect a pro rider to be able to get a van in time to still get to a venue,, or make other arrangements to get there. I think we or maybe not you as you are very careful about what you say,,, so let's just say, I doubt very little effort more likely no effort was made for Garrity to get to Foxhall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I'm pretty much done on the subject,, all I do know is, it's gotta be one of the most un pro pro sports going, hence no major sponsors and a small fan base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
