rearingtogo Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Don’t know whether a thread has covered for this in the past, but hey ho here we go. With a little help from all of you out there, I would like to compile a list of promotors and their club who have graced us in the past & present bringing us chance to watch our great sport. I will start with Maury Littlechild Crewe Kings 1969. Edited March 3, 2023 by rearingtogo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had "Mad" Malcolm Ballard, Gordon Kennett, John Davis, Richard Greer, Tevor Geer, Paul Gachet, Steve Weatherley, Dave Kennett, Mike Sampson, Roger Abel, Eric Dugard, Bobby McNeil , Brian Clark, Ian Clark and Roger Johns amongst others either ride full time or as cover for the "Rebels" over a seven year period.

I think you will find that the Sanderson family were the majority shareholders of the company & no decisions would have been made without their approval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said he ran the company an made decisions also he stood to benefit being a shareholder so sold Leicester down the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one person can be accused of selling the stadium it would have to have been a majority vote by all concerned. That's how compies are run.
