TheReturn 1,724 Posted August 10, 2017 Buster will be a bigger cancer to British Speedway than Mick Horton ever was in my opinion. In your opinion..... In my opinion he is doing a good job in standing up for British Speedway at the hands of mercenary overseas riders. What have the likes of Holder and Batchelor ever done to impro0ve British speedway? All they do is whinge and moan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted August 10, 2017 In this world there are people who do, and there are those who don't. In all walks of life, there are far more of those who don't, who just sit on their arses and judge those who are prepared to get up and do the job. Thankfully Buster is one of those who does. He's a worker, he's a grafter who is prepared to get his hands dirty.. He is in a no win situation whatever he does, because punters will always blame the boss man. when events don't go the way they were expected.. The BSPA must be the most self centred organisation on the face of the earth. All the members do is look after their own interest.. Sod the sport what about my club??????? Buster is like a breath of fresh air. in the sense he is prepared to take on the committee and fight for what's right. No he don't get everything right, but his heart is in the right place. I cant think of anyone better in the BSPA who could, or want this job. Having read some of the rubbish the ' SpeedwayFanatic,' has posted, how he has the cheek to start a thread castigating the effort of Buster Chapman, to me is an insult. You may not like some of the things he does but Buster Chapman does more for British Speedway than anyone else in this country., If 'SpeedwayFanatic', has based his opinion totally on the 'Folder and Thatch' situation, than your even a bigger fool than I took you for., 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO no one could be as stupid as he comes across. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buster hasn't made any effort. Nope it isn't all about Holder and Batch. Threw BV under the bus. Saying Peterborough sold British Speedway down the river. Cancelling meetings because he was too pussy to run them. Any other club would've had serious repercussions if they done that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny Connor 351 Posted August 11, 2017 I hate how people blame anybody but Coventry and Peterborough for the winter of discontent. Those two teams tried to hold a gun against the head of British speedway. As Coventry did before with the introduction of kylmakorpi mid season. Buster is the right man In charge. I get that some people will always hate authority figures because let's face it, when people do an important job with lots of responsibility it makes them an easy target ad if your own life is unfulfilling you probably have nothing better to do than critique them on a pointless forum. So what happens when the independent chairman is in charge. He makes a couple of decisions you don't like then threads like this will still exist 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Skid 425 Posted August 11, 2017 He's got to sell his GTR engines before he quits, don't want them going rusty, serious money tied up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,354 Posted August 11, 2017 His tenure has been a car crash. His comments on the BV first meeting were awful & then trying to get himself the lease/ownership on the sly was putrid. Not too mention trying to sign riders who were embargoed. The two postponements this season against Rye should have also been investigated. The "wind off" and waterlogged track were pure bullsh1t. Not to mention his role in the Cov/Pet fiasco when he took all the TV money & shat on both those clubs. He has got the Holder/Batchelor episode spot on though. He's stuck it on the whiny tossers & gave them and others like them a lesson they won't forget. He'll stand down at the end of season imo. Too much crap has happened under his stewardship. The sooner he goes the better, before he destroys british speedway completely.. In your opinion..... In my opinion he is doing a good job in standing up for British Speedway at the hands of mercenary overseas riders. What have the likes of Holder and Batchelor ever done to impro0ve British speedway? All they do is whinge and moan. In your opinion.. In your opinion..... In my opinion he is doing a good job in standing up for British Speedway at the hands of mercenary overseas riders.

rocketman77 41 Posted August 13, 2017 I think the way he got rid of two whinging aussies was superb management and now I hope other aussies will go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,612 Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) He puts a end to Poole cheating for that alone he deserves praise .He also got rid of Gordon and Morton who were on the brink of closing Belle Vue down and also dealt with Batch and Holder .He done some bad things but overall I don't think he's not been as bad as people make out .
