Letting people know this might be a good idea. I arrive between 6pm and 6.30pm. I put an old programme on the dSbiard and a note saying "Speedway arrived 6.30pm will be back by 10.30pm. Never had a ticket nor notified a fine. If I did I'd send a copy of my note and match programme. It's not rocket science. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted July 9, 2022 Be interesting to hear vissings version of events. Three sides to every story. Vissing , Birmingham and the truth in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JJ 512 Posted July 10, 2022 We have never heard of anyone's side ... only that he had decided not to turn up. No one has said why? The promotion has said that they always paid the riders, so what was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted July 10, 2022 7 minutes ago, bloom89 said: That maybe so but why is he missing Plymouth on a Tuesday? He's missing Tuesday because he has a 28 day ban. He has a 28 day ban as he didn't ride last Wednesday I'm led to believe, so don't shoot the messenger if not correct, that he had a Danish commitment on Wednesday that was called off. Hans Anderson rode on Wednesday having only been declared the night before. He however had a booking for PL on the Thursday. Vissing only has Brummies so at very short notice didn't make himself available for a match he wasn't available for until very late on Tues night. If that's the case his ban in my opinion is incredibly harsh. Two sides to every story. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted July 10, 2022 Could be a cost cutting exercise by the brummies. If what I was told was correct it’s a lot of money for someone scoring 5 or 6 pts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, there's another month of guests to come, which ironically will probably boost the team's firepower. This farce was completely foreseeable though, wasn't it? Some would say this was "cute" team management to sign him, knowing that we'd get to this point where "facilities" worth more than the rider himself would become available. Others would say it's another example of being completely disrespectful to the paying public. Quite frankly I'm not interested in Vissing's reasons for not being available. We all knew it was going to happen, so who cares why? From December onwards, we all read about "how calendars were being checked", so all this was completely predictable. What I'm more interested in is who in the Brummies management signed-off on all of this, knowing what was inevitably going to happen. They sold the story to the fans that Vissing (& Ellis) were going to be in the team for the coming season, not just bits and pieces of the season. Season tickets will have been bought on this basis. The fans deserve answers. Edited July 10, 2022 by uk_martin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
