Odds On Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Could they target speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 They could, but seeing as they are after causing chaos and even more, publicity, it doesn't seem likely that it is high on the agenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I've always wondered how they get to the events they disrupt. Hope they don't use car, train, bus etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Seems the German motorsport association have had a study done and found up to 80% of CO2 is caused by the fans. So speedway having very few fans are emmiting far less CO2 than other motorsports. Which is nice https://www.dmsb.de/de/ueber-uns/leitbild-und-werte/nachhaltigkeit/file/288080 Edited July 20, 2023 by iris123 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were locals primed to go and that was when the police extended the blockade. Would have been more fun if they had let the locals at them lol. The only people impacted by what they did yesterday were contract workers. Ineos workers who couldnt get into work were just sent home but will be paid. Not all contractors - many of whom are on the construction/electrical side - have the same luxury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they don't mind their house burning down while the fire service walk to their house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 I've thought about this too and if i were the BSPL I'd encourage it, for a live Eurosport meeting. The level of publicity it would attract in the press and mainstream tv would be like nothing ever seen before for the sport And as the saying goes there's no such thing as bad publicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they used to be for. I watched 1 rider move his mat after he had broken his engine to avoid getting oil onto it because it has sponsors name on it and did want to get it dirty.
