Why don't we just give Birmingham the league trophy? After all, they tried their best!

Anyone got anything he's done ? The No Brakes No Fear podcast from a couple of weeks ago is worth a listen, a long interview with Phil Morris about what he's been doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotteringAround Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 STATEMENT FROM BRITISH SPEEDWAY PROMOTERS LTD We would like to clear up a misunderstanding amongst Speedway supporters regarding the appointment of Phil Morris to oversee the Premier League and its play-offs. When we appointed Phil Morris "to fix" British Speedway, it seems that some fans have stupidly misunderstood our use of the verb "to fix" These imbecile fans thought we were using the verb "to fix" in the sense of "to repair; mend; to put in order or in good condition". (e.g. the plumber fixed the leaky toilet) The BSPL would like to clarify that we were of course using the verb "to fix" in the sense of "to arrange or influence the outcome or action of, especially privately or dishonestly" (e.g. Vladimir Putin fixed the American election). It is clear to anyone with half a brain that we never intended for Phil Morris to repair, mend, or put the sport in good order. We hope that fans will now fully understand that Phil Morris has indeed successfully fixed the Premiership. Meanwhile the BSPL toilet is still leaking. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been involved in Speedway all my life....well at least starting 1959 a few years after leaving the womb, I have done everything I can in Speedway from Fan to Rider to Promoter to National referee, yes mainly in Canada but I have never heard anything more INANE, stupid, ridiculous, idiotic and any other words you can think of for the way they have decided the playoffs this year.....How can our beloved sport be taken seriously after garbage decisions like this. I don't need any answers because I know there are no sensible answers to this, just wanted to spout off, which I rarely do, i.e NEVER! So please forgive me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woudn't worry about it too much if I were you, there's nothing in it . It's just Pottering Around's sense of humour going into overdrive😀. I wouldn't mind betting that a fair few forum members would have been taken in by it initially as we all know the people that "run" this sport are just awful at what they do & capable of anything.😄😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to post twice yesterday but i was so pd off that my words were a little off for this forum so i deleted them. I started watching this sport in 1972 and have loved it .But how the sport has gone over the years has finally got to me. Three years ago i had a season ticket for both the Aces and the Colts .But this year i have been to watch 3 live meetings. I won't do a list of all the crap that has gone on over the last few years as you all will know. Its been building for a few years now and i have just realised that i cannot support a team in a sport that really is not a sport anymore its become a pile of contrived rubbish i have had enough. So unless feelings change i will be joining the many before me and walk away. I will still look in on this forum but not comment as i have retired and get a little bored and old habbits etc. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I have attended the PCMM and the SON Final.. "Made Up Speedway"? I, (like so many others), will give it a miss...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 On 8/31/2024 at 11:05 AM, mikebv said: With the whole shebang being built around the agenda of the riders not the agenda of the paying spectator. .There is fundamentally zero point investing emotionally into a team sport when it is nothing more than a random, ad-hoc collection of riders, who will invariably be a different set of riders "representing you" the next time you set foot in the stadium.. Right there is the single biggest problem with British speedway, a sport run by the riders for the riders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still come on here most days and have a read,, it brightens up my day reading stuff from people that still think this is a real and serious sport,, the ones that defend it have me in tears of laughter.
