You don't see that the Facennas owning Glasgow and also sponsoring the league is a dodgy conflict of interests? Define the conflict of interest, please, as I don’t see any. I see a group willing to invest in British speedway at not just team, and league but also at national team level and goodness me, we need more like them. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Of course British Speedway is a wash with possible league sponsors so they should turn the Allied money away and get another sponsor 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness the chairman of the BSPL has no conflicting interests either. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the company doesn’t lose any money then as it goes right back into the hands of the same people. Doesn’t sound fishy at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see that the Facennas owning Glasgow and also sponsoring the league is a dodgy conflict of interests? It's much less of a conflict than having the same people owning more than one speedway club in competition with each other. So the Facennas choose to invest in Speedway in the UK and all they get is S##t from people. I guarantee they've put more ££ in than they've got out of it. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Ffs the facennas throw more money at British speedway and the first responses are the usual negative bs. Must wonder why they bother. This is a conflict of interest but Godfrey and ford on the manage committee that's no issue. Couldn't make it up 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Every bit as exciting as F1? I hope not... Good to see money coming into the sport regardless of where it is from.. At least it is not a middle eastern, misogynistic, homophobic, racist state that is doing it, riding roughshod over any FFP rules....... Ohhh. A little bit of politics there, yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen.. Now give it up for Stavros... Let's hope the top league can get a sponsor too... It's been long enough without one.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paulco Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 This is hilarious. You expect the paranoia from the other end of the M8 , but the affliction goes much further than there . Speedway fan - wish the league had a sponsor Speedway God- it has now Speedway Fan - yeah but its a Glasgow promoters company , surely that's a conflict of interests Speedway God - how ? Speedway fan - i dont know it just is . Thats them trying to buy the league again Speedway God - how ? Speedway fan - ( getting more worked up ) I dont know it just is . It seems well dodgy though . Speedway God - in what way ? Speedway fan ( reaching for the valium) i dont know it just is . So there you have it , the league and the sport badly needs sponsors , but only.if it's the right kind of sponsor . If Vladimir Putin owned Cab Taxis , nobody on here would bat an eyelid . But anything to do with splash the cash Glasgow and its , " oh no no no we cant have that " 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Great to see more sponsorship coming into the sport can only be a good thing imo,much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I am guessing if Edinburgh win the league in 2023 out of protest they will refuse to accept any prize money Aye right Edited January 25, 2023 by snapper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stevehone Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 good for Allied, wish more companies would get involved, speedway needs every penny it can get instead of slagging off for no good reason 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
