ouch 1,189 Posted April 9, 2019 For every instance where the neigh sayers turn out to be correct about something going wrong there’s at least another two,three or four where things were fine, it’s just people like to be negative on social media. Its funny how in ALL those cases when it’s fine they keep their heads down yet on the few occasions it goes their way, you can’t shut them up. Tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously know nothing about British Speedway. It’s the Speedway control bureau(SCB for short). I suggest you visit their website and learn something about what they do. For anyone to suggest that all they do is rubber stamp willy nilly also knows nothing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were skint there is no doubt, but to suggest they would go ahead at any cost is quite a ridiculous comment to make, especially coming from such a seasoned poster on these boards. I can go into some detail that would categorically prove that statement wrong but it's not the place, and it's been done already a million times.

They were kicked out because a certain individual in the Norfolk area wanted his paws on the whole project. I'm not naming names, but I'm sure you are clever enough to figure it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It ended with the greatest speedway track on planet earth. I've seen the business plan, and it's no different to the one currently in operation. The club are running at a loss, like every other track in the United Kingdom. They failed to pay the rent because the rent was extortionate. What they did was get themselves into an absolute mess trying to build one of the greatest tracks we will ever see and save the most iconic, and the most historic speedway team in this sport. They made some poor choices mostly through lack of knowledge but there intentions were always clear, and always well intended. They've been vilified, and burned with their names painted by people very much like yourself who know absolutely nothing about the situation. With greatest respect to you, you are not qualified to hold such an opinion. Whilst all this was going on a certain little someone was laughing away in the background after orchestrating the entire thing, trying to get his grubby mitts on it. Absolutely appaling.

ouch 1,189 Posted April 9, 2019 You do realise that muppet is just on a one man wind up. Everyone knows the story by now. Just block the sado. Looking forward to seeing the new track, any idea if the re staging will be soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who starts a sentence “with greatest respect” usually means the opposite. Also, you don’t need any qualifications to hold an opinion and no matter how much you disagree, they are entitled to their opinion whether it is based on facts or otherwise. #justsaying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
