When will you give this rubbish up.It seems like you think everyone who has served under Buster is a yes man or they are out.You just give up with such crap.So you are saying Rob was a yes man? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brady seems to be a lot like Rob as he had supported the Stars from a young age and followed them all those years.I personally don't see anything wrong in his appointment.A new fresh approach is what is needed.

However, will he be able to advise on gearings, best lines, etc? That would be no. But then again you could probably say that about Dale, and Rob Lyon (Don't think Rob rode) to be honest, what about Peter Adams. Tracks and engines change all the time. The best advice for set ups etc would come from one of your team mates on any particular night. Although not all riders engines are set up the same either. 58 minutes ago, Haza said: Is Alex Brady a yes man if so he will get on fine if he isn’t a yes man as others at the club have found could be a short lived appointment.. Was/Is Rob Lyon a yes man, i very much doubt it....I know Alex reads the forum. The honest answer to that is who knows. Only people close to him will know his nature. He loves his speedway, i hope he knows all the rules and regs (not easy mind ). No doubt Dale will be on hand to help if need be. His has the balls to offer or accept the role, which ever scenario it was. So give him a go until the end of the season, see how he gets on. Best of luck Alex.

Any of us experienced fans (that take notice) can tell a rider the best way round pretty much every track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can ride the right lines, but if your set up is wrong for the track/conditions, your going to struggle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedtiger 327 Posted July 19, 2021 This is an astonishingly desperate move by the intellectually challenge Chapman even by his bizarre standards. A inexperienced fan having the responsibility to run a speedway team.....has clueless Buster lost what bit of sense he had....?? Yes. Alex good luck pall, coz you will certainly need it. PS.
