I am not sure about that... Just because the same business plan has been used for the past fifteen years or so and failed, doesn't mean it won't be a roaring success this time...! Maybe one day, British Speedway will be revered the World over as being one of a very select group who have proved Einstein wrong... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think that he nor anyone else with good business sense ( and the resources ) would buy a club at this point in time. It would be an asset of diminishing value ( unless you owned the stadium and land and could develop it for housing at a later date ). There seems very little real profit in currently owning and running a speedway club as the public has voted with its feet. A Thumbs Down from your likely customers is a very poor incentive to buy into the Uk speedway business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I would guess 9th-11th November? ....or maybe the weekend after ie 16th-18th November now that Wolves have arranged their 'talk-in' for Monday 19th!?

iainb 4,862 Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I wonder if Tai will be invited along for his input after the success of the GB Speedway team after they did what he'd wanted them to do for years? Edited October 18, 2018 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted October 18, 2018 No-one who want to change anything in UK speedway will be invited to the AGM, you can sure of that. It seems to be moving towards "more of the same" for 2019. That will be sure to pull in the missings thousands if the marketing remains the same as it was in 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerowl 630 Posted October 18, 2018 No consensus from the promoters about how to move forward. Mediocre riders already putting out quotes about wanting to ride for more than one team to enable them to be full-time riders, performing in front of crowds of 500-700 people. Fans not listened to. No one in charge. Complete joke of a sport at the moment. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AGM with throw up the usual minor changes, some rules will be amended to stop certain promoters, others will be dropped to help the old boys club. Then on to March, as long as people pay, they got it right again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
