    Redcar v Newcastle

    We pulled into the car park at 6:55 and it was just over 3/4 full.

    Worrying Times at Redcar

    I dont necessarily disagree but why do you think that?

    Kevin Keay on BBC Tees just after 47 mins in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/play/p06l12j1

    Kevin has also been frustrated by the "agenda's" of many BSPA members.

    Kevin is Redcar Bears greatest asset and Kevin's greatest asset has always been communication. There has been no communication so for the sake of Redcar and the whole of British speedway I hope that its not true. British speedway cant afford to loose forward thinking promoters like Kevin

    I think there are a couple of others with similar thoughts, just not enough.

    The forward looking promoters like Barry Bishop are around we have one at Redcar in Kevin Keay, time to listen and will try anything new. It seems to be the few (or maybe more than a few!) that are only looking out for themselves and dont care about the sport as a whole that are doing the damage. Barry Bishop Kevin Keay Any more to add to the list?

    Promoters and riders need to communicate with supporters. Gone are the days when promoters could say "Its none of your business" like it or not we have social media now hopefully newer promoters will come with more s.m.skills. If the promoters will not talk to the supporters then the supporters will have to talk to the promoters, if not name and shame or is that too drastic?
  10. The popular cartoon booklet that has been on sale over the past few years is now sold out but if there is any interest I will order another batch and all profit will go to the SRBF. The booklet depicts over 70 speedway cartoons drawn by Reg Smythe some 7 years before he created the world famous Andy Capp. The cost is £7-70 including postage or £6-50 if collected in person at this years Ben Fund meeting at Redcar. Please let me know if you are interested so that I can see if the numbers justify ordering more copies.

    All the more reason to find the like minded promoters as the one quoted. It must be a step forwards rather than going round in circles on here.

    That implies that promoters are employed by the BSPA.

    Can I drag us all back to what I hope some will see as a positive sign at "head office". One promoter seeing what he thinks is wrong with speedway today and prepared to seek opinions of all concerned. Show your promoter the above statement and ask if they will give their backing to a more open minded future. Its ok discussing on here what is wrong but only promoters can make changes. Lets have a few more promoters statements, it is us paying supporters that keep them in their job!

    Yes I understand that.

    This is 100% a genuine promoter. I was personally given their ok to quote it. I have withheld names and club as I dont want to push my luck and say too much. There must be other (honest) promoters who could speak up!
