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 " Well,,, if its got owt to do with taxi drivers and money, it's gotta be well dodgy!!!

Normski Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Glasgow maybe hoping for a HIRE league position to please the sponsors lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Excellent stuff. Speedway is full of conflicts of interest anyway (Campbell compiling the fixtures anyone?) but to have a sponsor and one who will spread the word is great news. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Oh hell no, leave us out of this BS! 3 hours ago, Petecc said: Cab direct? Never use cabs so never heard of them. I have now, sponsorships working.

Fromafar Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 The Facennas must be wondering why they bother in this sport.The constant sniping is just a joke.Conflict of interest what a joke.Try owners with more than one Club that’s more prevalent IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotteringAround Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 People making a joke of it, and making light of it, but sadly it is speedway shooting itself in the foot again. Imagine the BSPL have to make a big decision involving two teams... One of which has given them a big wad of money, and one of them which hasn't. If the BSPL management committee rule in favour of the team handing out the cash, how is that going to look? It's not even that the BSPL have to be biased, it's just that there has to be the perception that they could be biased. Whchever way you look at it the BSPL ar now conflicted by this. It wouldn't happen in a professionally organised sport. And yes, there are plenty of other conflicts and matters of self-interest in the sport. But ask yourself, is adding another one making things better or worse? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponsers are not queuing round the block to invest in the Sport.The sport is already a closed shop.Conflict of interest even if there was one in this case is the least of their worries . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Any money going into the sport is more than welcome. How many times have many of us have said that we need sponsorship for the Leagues. As for conflict of interests is there not other conflicts of interest. Sheffield (My club) and Leicester having the same owners. Kings Lynn and Peterborough having the same owners. Sheffield and Ipswich both sponsored by Guy Nicholls companies. For me it is good news. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byker Biker Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I haven't read the 2 previous pages but I'd be cautious about slagging the Facennas here, they're not that foolish to think they would hide behind a dormant company and kid the sport on. This is about selling it to the wider media and public at large which in fairness is what the BSPL should be doing. It could have been better worded for me such as .... "CabDirect part of the Allied Vehicle Group"... "who also sponsor Team GB and Glasgow Tigers". The issue isn't the Facennas or their businesses it's yet again about transparency from the BSPL, there's no conflict of interest yet but the potential is huge.
