Praise from ImpartialOne doesn't do a lot for my street cred!

As I'm allegedly the Steve Shovlar of Wolverhampton I think that's unlikely, don't you?

See you still haven't found out how to use spellcheck then Oh Silver One

You'll find a thread about Steve in the Speedway General Discussions section under the title "Thanks Jonno!"

If we play in this weather I don't think any of us will be taking any balls away

Typical anti-Pom Oz lies. It says 2019 in my almanac. Where's global warming when you need it?

Seems pretty conclusive on that argument then.

Knowing Tony Mole as we all do, do you think he's that daft? I'll confess to being biased in his favour as he saved 2 clubs that I supported from going bust but I reckon he's got his head screwed on the right way.

Fair point, Vog. But only a couple of weeks ago Poole were being accused of wanting the 8.01 rule so they could benefit from having 2 x 8 point riders (Holder AND Pedersen). That's been proved false (without a word of apology from the accusers!). Of course that doesn't necessarily prove your argument wrong.

This isn't directed at you WK but what pressure could be asserted against anybody? What hold do Ford/CVS have over everybody that is so terrifying? This isn't an argument for either side (so no abuse please) just interested to know what it could be.

Nice one Sir David. By the way, just heard the UK is introducing prohibition next Summer

and you've just given me the bit of abuse as evidence! May you have an excellent Christmas too. And I think I mean that most sincerely folks

Not criticising your post WK but what is this undue pressure? It's a recurring theme but I don't get it. Who could get away with putting pressure on the likes of Uncle Bob and Jon Cook? Unless they were the ones asserting the pressure on Ford and CVS?

Oh dear, Starman, I reckon you're in trouble now

You obviously haven't read my response to your previous post yet. And with my back I ain't running anywhere

No wonder everybody likes coming to Monmore. You take advantage of our women, learn English as it should be spoke AND get great racing.

And that's a bad thing?

Don't worry if I did come to your AGM I wouldn't bring my toys to chuck. :D Guess that's a truce then

Unfortunately I've never met Rick and I have no doubt he's a nice guy. He's certainly improved a very, very bad situation at Peterborough. But the fact that he CAN afford to lose so much money suggests he can use the sport as a toy (if he so wished). Other clubs are not in that fortunate position and have to cut their cloth to fit. Now if the Matt Ford/CVS haters who hurl such foul abuse at them (and have also probably never met them) would show a little restraint the forum would be a happier place.

Is it not possible to make an argument without abuse? I dislike your biased opinions intensely but never resort to abuse.

Of course he didn't use the race card, they don't have greyhounds at Brandon any more

You talk about money but consider this. Sandhu and Frost are very, very rich men and probably used to getting their own way. Are they not expecting to get their own way in this situation despite a majority against them? A man who can allegedly afford to lose 140k a year is using the sport as his toy.

I really hope last May's democracy is declared undemocratic then and we can have another go at it till we get the result I want!!

That's funny I thought we'd already tried "democratically" and Cov and Pet didn't like it. Come on, essaitch, give it up now. Or at least give us your explanation of democracy.

There's a very good chance that none of us may be happy with the outcome but, as supporters, we have to live with any decisions taken today as we had no input into the goings-on of this close season. The scars of this winter might never heal either on this forum or at the BSPA but if we get a hot, dry summer with some great racing (and hopefully a British world champion - come on Chris) it'll hopefully take our minds off it.
