nbaynes 69 Posted June 28, 2017 Matt Ford is a shrewd enough business man to see the writing on the wall for British speedway. No one in their right mind is going to pump money in to a dying sport. Sad but true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) And interestingly, he has recently been hinting that he may be moving away from the sport in the next couple of years Never understood why speedway hasn't moved away from the 'promoter' aspect and not had a business style of directors.It would probably remove the self interest syndrome that has blighted the sport for too many years. I know that the majority of teams do not own their own stadia but it can't be good for the sport having the outdated funfair style of management.

Woz01 3,589 Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) And interestingly, he has recently been hinting that he may be moving away from the sport in the next couple of years But also in the last year there has been rumours of Matt Ford taking over elsewhere, not sure I believe it though.

hagonshocker 1,956 Posted June 29, 2017 Fair play to Starman he's in an awkward position what with volunteering at the Stadium but has the balls to say it like it is re the track and seeming not as assured or taking the future of the stadium for granted unlike one or two that the above post describes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
