George stepped down from the MC for 2018, so not sure if he'd want to be back on it "full time," that was my thinking anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No mention on the bspa website in the statement of the present owners, speaks volumes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr8scot 589 Posted March 26, 2018 Wow...... All the best to Stewart, always said hello even tho’ I’m a “beast from the East” 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,089 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Used to have the odd lunch with Stewart a while back and saw first hand how much the club meant to him , the man bled red & white this must be a really difficult decision for Stewart to make. All the best in whatever you do Stewart and hope you can still attend he will be a big miss. Edited March 27, 2018 by Gazc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted March 26, 2018 Came across as a passionate bloke, when seen on TV and, a decent bloke when exchanging pleasantries at Brough last year. Hope things turn out ok. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owenbros 38 Posted March 26, 2018 Strange one altogether. Looks like the owners are doing it their way. Stuart will not have taken the decision lightly if he has been there that long, that's a lot to give up. Hope the riders are not affected by this. Michael Max seems to be the one with the best relationship with them and has been the manager before. Alan Dick has also done it before. Timing is terrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was maybe standing down to concentrate on being a promoter and member of the BSPA management committee. For once it looked as if we might have some clout and with Stuart on the committee he might help drag speedway into the 21st century. Now not to be. Maybe he could be put in charge of the BSPA.
