I really don't understand why some people seem to have a problem with that. Do they want promoters to only stage meetings that loose money? No wonder nobody wants to be a promoter. I'm pretty sure that Buster has faced huge amounts of additional costs this year at his two tracks, and if this helps defray those losses I'm content with that. PS And I'm usually to be found throwing rotten tomatoes rather than praise in his direction. PPS Nobody is forcing you to go. Expand Think he has made a good few quid from the current run of home meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd was very good with a delayed start to get everyone in. Expand It was a reasonable crowd but the delayed start to get people in was due to the accident on the A1 nearby and the traffic build up as the Police closed the road. Someone I know was in it for 2 hours and missed the first 7/8 races! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 On 9/15/2023 at 10:15 AM, Hackney said: Can I ask where the money raised at the farewell meeting will be going ? Expand You can ask, but I doubt you'll get an answer. And surely, the question of whether or not a bung has been made by one party to another, is a largely irrelevant one. What is really getting up people's noses is the apparent total resignation by Buster Chapman to there being any future for speedway in Peterborough and his "advice" to everyone to do the same! The lengthy statement contained so much self-serving guff about how grateful everyone ought to be for being given a competitive team, no matter how late in the season that was, it was almost enough to make me throw up my dinner. And it was a smokescreen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Correct and that will be no small sum of money, circa £20k I would expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
