hammer1969 421 Posted October 21, 2021 Just wondering has anyone had their refund recently? Apparently there's a bit in the Speedway Star about the riders still haven't been paid. Perhaps it's about time Mr. Jordan came clean and told the truth but I suppose that's too much to ask. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personaly have not had anything back but I never expected too myself.. It would be nice to have a statement from Ian but only one man can do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted October 21, 2021 On an Eastie Facebook Group - It looks like nobody has received a refund and as JAKE KNIGHT wrote the riders have yet to of been paid so very little chance that a ticket refund is going to happen. Just a very sorry state of affairs unfortunately. Feel sorry for the riders if they have yet to of been paid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suggest that Plymouth consider their options…..and the BSPL look very carefully at Plymouth Speedway’s finances . Mr Jordan’s track record of bringing “security and stability” to his venture at Eastbourne has wrecked the club. Highlights the weak governance of the sport when he is still allowed to have any involvement with a speedway stadium. Can the riders not seek payment of unpaid invoices from his company through the courts ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going forward if the club has any future at all it could put off any potential rider signing, albeit for a promotion that does pay . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it's more of a concern with supporters with season tickets and sponsors, both have been treated badly by Ian Jordan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't believe early on I ( and many others) were singing his praises on various things including the online booking etc. Feel a bit silly now. Just hope it doesn't totally finish the club off, going to need to be some really trustworthy promoters coming in ( hopefully) to get over this.

I agree, I thought he was the person to take the club forward and not try to destroy it for his own gain. Still, we move forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 23, 2021 Wouldn't feel too silly "gazzac" ..... Jordan's promotional ideas for online booking, setting out rules for entry and egress at the stadium for covid restrctions were sound, as was his pricing model for the NDL meetings bundled together as double headers. BUT NOBODY knew the bad choices of rider payment deals he had agreed......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ndl riders too. Then reading the Facebook postings people are owed money for Newcastle fixture that was rain off in May. Then various people owed sponsorship money for a new air fence they contributed. Then there's all these lie Carol keeps coming up why no payments or refunds are being made. Hopefully someone within the club can get to the bottom or a proper inquest where it all went or what Ian Jordan is upto and just where all the money is. You can have great promotional ideas etc and promises good deals. But even better when you choose not to pay the bills then go into the scenario the club and us loyal supporters finds ourselves in now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted October 24, 2021 Great to see Nathan and Jason doing the business for Mildenhall and winning the NL title, along with Tom mixing it with the big boys at BV. Ah what could have been, young locally developed riders the base of the next Dugard, Norris type of era, oh well not to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the question, isn't it? The stadium was rented on very favourable terms, many (most?) trackday staff were volunteers, we now know that riders and other bills weren't being paid, yet sponsorship, matchday and season ticket money seems to have disappeared without trace. I doubt that we shall ever know the real truth, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mr Jordan's pension pot is looking rather healthier than it did 12 months ago.

Hackett 220 Posted October 28, 2021 Looking at the Speedway Star it would seem they have gone incommunicado . Drew Kemp has advised no rider has been paid and now the Jordans have gone underground. One un-named rider told Speedway Star he hasn't been paid. Jake Knight stated the very same on facebook and now Drew Kemp has said much the same in the Speedway Star. Pretty p*ss-poor but nothing surprises me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
