Isn’t it time to move on from ‘Horton bashing’? Mick has lost a great deal of money running speedway over the years - any ideas that he was trousering funds are pie in the sky.  

We are talking about Colin

Thank you for the clarification, certainly clears up a few things!

The point I was trying to make was being careful not to bite the hand that feeds, if the showground decides to get rid of the speedway for what ever reason, then we would need to try and find an alternative venue and someone to fund it... this hasnt happened much recently.

In many ways the Showground needs the Speedway.  It is a 'noise' that has been present for almost 50 years and when the nearest residents were over three miles away. Plus as I said earlier, it is one of the few events that is for LOCAL people. (Probably the only event). It'll be interesting to visit the Showground tomorrow to have a look what they plan to do with the site in the coming years.

You don't have to speak to 100  to get 99%  .24.75 is 99% of 25. To be  clear I have no idea how many were spoken to but you do not need to speak to 100 to get a percentage of 99%.

 

 

so they spoke to three quarters of a person 

My general point is we don't know how many people he/she spoke to. As a Coventry fan in exile... I'd love for Buster to re-introduce the sport at Brandon

[wealdstone 3,454]

I get your general point but your understanding of  percentages  are way off

I understand you can't talk to three quarters of a person... unless they only have 1 arm or leg 

99% of the people I spoke to said they loved Buster 

[wealdstone 3,454]

If that is your understanding as to how percentages work probably it does not  matter in the scheme of things

This would be great on the Coventry 2019 thread... Oh that's right there isn't one

I do not think that Maneacat ever claimed to have spoken to 100  people

Thank you - maybe it’s just you and I that understand the meaning of percentages

Fingers crossed buster succeeds in getting a FIM meeting at the showground next season, we have the best track in the country and we need a big international meeting to showcase this. Plus it might bring in some people that have never seen speedway before which is always good !

[Bagpuss 10,762]

I don’t think you have the best track in the country but certainly the second best. 

The World Cup meeting in 2009 was superb, would be good to see an U21 final round or a SEC meeting at the EoES in the near future.

To be fair, it should be shared around.

If BV get a GP or Euro meeting I think the GB Championship should go elsewhere.   Peterborugh would be perfect.
