KevAustin Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Could be interesting times coming? Will Bombers upcoming statement open a few eyes as to what is going on with British Speedway? Some Honesty, Truth and Transparency would not go amiss! Something the BSPL and others have not given us. So it’s down to Bomber to deliver, let’s see!

Daniel Smith Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 It isn't going to be that revealing. I even doubt he'll release anything at all, was just frustrated & letting off steam. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 How many times have we heard Bomber say “I’m thinking of leaving the sport” Let’s get one thing straight he can’t do anything else so all this nonsense about retiring is crap. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Be interesting to see what he is moaning about.. No one will have had more chance to earn money in the UK than Bomber over the past good many years... Due to the amount of "Guestfests" that take place and him being on speed dial in every Promoter's phone when one is needed... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 He’ll not say much, if he upsets the apple cart with the promotions that are left in the sport it’ll do him more bad than good when it comes to getting a contract for 2024 and onwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eide67 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Chris was asked about it by Paul Bowen on BSN on Friday and said he just wanted a good old moan about British Speedway which he thinks needs a big shake up from top to bottom. He thinks now is the time to save British Speedway which is losing tracks and riders coming through who 'don't get the chances'. Now he's been dropped he knows how it feels, but he doesn't hold grudges and spoke to Stuart at Leicester on Wednesday when he was there with his little boy.

Just to let him know he’s still available for guesting no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtiger Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 I have a lot of respect for Bomber he’s been a good ambassador for the sport over many years and gives 100% effort for whoever he’s riding for or against. He’s been moved about from club to club not alway by his own making but always becomes a team player both on and off the track. He always has time to speak with fans. I’ll be very interested to hear what he says and I’m sure it will be the truth because that’s how he is. I hope he names the people who have dragged speedway down to the gutter level it’s in now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s become a bit of a joke about Bomber taking so many guest bookings but it says a lot about the guy that he’s always the 1st one promoters turn to. Scored a paid max on his guest booking for Wolves earlier this season, he’s one of the good guys for sure and will be missed when he’s gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s down to Bomber to deliver, let’s see! For next season he is having a personalised race suit made for every team so he fits in while guesting. He will also be using a revolutionary colour changing crash helmet so he can ride for both teams in the same meeting. The colour the helmet is when he crosses the line will decide which team he scores his points for in that heat. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skid Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Probably going to stop racing, and become a Promoter, and show everyone how it should be done, saving British Speedway in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 I still insist for the changes to be made Harris HAD to have agreed to it. If Leicester said, sorry we're dropping you, but Peterborough have a team spot for you and Harris said, "sod it, I'll just race for Glasgow. Then Peterborough wouldn't have a replacement for Worrall, so he can't leave to go to Leicester, so Leicester wouldn't be in a position to drop Harris.

IainB Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 This is going to be the biggest anti-climax since Leicester's signing of Max Perry 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
