Genuinely curious if people of his level can make a living from speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily, Pickering saved the day! It's a shi#e situation that we find ourselves in, but if there's enough people to support a sh#te situation, then it will continue I guess. I havent been since the 'Ellis-gate' bullsh#t and I havent missed it! Edited June 16, 2022 by GiveusaB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you really surprised? The way forward apparently is just say nothing about anything at all! No comment about the performance on Sunday No comment about progress with team changes No injury update on Paul or Matty No thank you to the fans for still paying their money to watch two consecutive home drubbings. Just stay silent and put out a few adverts for the Poole match and that will suffice. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those words seem to be some of the oft most used on here pre season when fans are on discussing their potential teams.. And I often wonder to myself.. "How? And Why?".... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
