Only in speedway this could happen -one other question has Robin Brundle left the club or has that been quietly brushed under the carpet ? Who’d forget the war cry chant he bought to the club ha ha Edited April 2, 2021 by Haza 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,757 Posted April 2, 2021 Can’t see that it really matters if he’s working for both to be honest, maybe it’s just me. Quite likely there is little geographical overlap anyway. More concerned about actually getting on track with spectators, should be a given with such low numbers of cases and deaths being declared now but with the way it’s all been handled who knows 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the sport needs to get out on track and fans in stadiums 100% but I’d thought as a sport we’d need to try and retain a little bit of credibility and Richard Knight working for two rival clubs in the same role doesn’t sit well with me as someone else said conflict of interest. But as you say riders on track fans in stadiums is main thing - hopefully other things can be ironed out before March 2022 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted April 3, 2021 If riders can ride for 2 teams and guest for every team can't see the difference back room staff working for 2 teams. Just highlights the farce of the sports rules 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 3, 2021 Was the guy Kilby doing the commercial job at two Clubs in 2019? Surely with two clubs you are after different sponsors etc as they are different catchment area’s. So Robin Brundle. What’s the story there. Gone or involved ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I’d hoped after a year of practically no speedway in the UK we’d have the great British speedway re set button pressed and get a bit more credibility back in the sport . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure there will be some crossover of contacts that will benefit both clubs at certain parts of the season.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted April 5, 2021 What he learns at one track , he can use at the other. Lots of synergy, I would say. Good luck Richard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
