If he comes back I will cheer him up😂

Where you popped up from.

Just like me.

Property redevelopment always wins in these such cases.

Good podcast I enjoy these 👍🏻

Yeah course it is. But as we’re here in Britain who cares about Poland? The same thing was said about Doyle for a few years now until recently. “Oh but Doyle isn’t the top man in Poland” all while he topped the British averages and by some distance until the last season or two.

Indeed... There is a certain "grey area" when it comes to riders being self employed/employees of clubs, however, there is a valid question to be asked whether this change is a change in the "Terms and Conditions of Employment" for the riders... Given insurance will be a fundamental prerequisite for riding you would presume... And, Customs and Practice, for many, many years, was the riders paid about a fiver per race to be covered, with the cover being "X,Y,Z".... Such a fundamental change to a contract, in the "normal business world" would have seen written communication of the changes to those impacted, with all the "As is" and "To be" details of the changes outlined...

This article fully tells you all about the bspl, putting aside the actual issue of the insurance which is shocking it’s the lack of reply’s the lack of solutions and just sheer incompetence of the bspl, I have said it many times speedway faces many threats of extinction from all different quarters, money, planners, greyhounds and everything else but when you scratch away at the surface at all these issues it comes back to a sport that is run so badly it doesn’t know how to defend itself and has nobody who can fight for speedway’s corner and no ideas to take the sport forward and when challenged disappears into a corner not to found,”if I put my fingers in my ears I can’t here the phone ringing then I don’t have to answer it “ that is speedway mentality, I hope Richard Coleman is the man to take on the BSPL and finally break down the barrier that many have failed at, time will tell, he has already taken the first step and rubbed them up the wrong way and they will be seething at him but we will see what happens next

Congratulations on your summary of last night's meeting

That's what he said to me in a personal message around Xmas time

I would say the end justifies the means.

Oxford didnt prepare it accidentially did they? They did it because of the weather, so the Oxford fans say. So on purpose. Maybe a different word would be better.

Bet that was a thrilling conversation 😂😂

Reading the article, he is not a happy chap and rightly so. If things do not change I cannot see him sticking around too long. Someone wants it to be professionally run and proper lines of communication while the top table are not listening and pissing off a new promoter almost before a wheel has turned. Welcome Richard Coleman to the farce that is UK speedway.

Go R/R if they’re smart

Any stream for this mtg ?

Just out of curiosity, does that mean if you prepare a boring race track on purpose it's acceptable then?

Howarth and Morris are an interesting pairing for me if they team ride they could score some big points tonight. Masters usually goes well round Sheffield Dougy hit and miss. Jack Holder had a crash for Gorzow at weekend he may still be abit sore from that one. 52-38 Home win

The Pride of the East podcast post mortem:

Not the 1st time he's left the forum, he will be back sooner or later.

I really don't get what all the moaning is about. It's surely up to Poole how they prepare their track isn't it? If it's boring for everybody else, what do they care? A home track should have home advantage, if it doesn't, that club is missing a trick. The racing might not usually be great at Poole, but they get good crowds for most home meetings and win more than most - surely what every promotion strives for. Same story for Oxford. Track wasn't great last night, but bet there aren't too many Oxford fans that are bothered today. The racing was dull, but the atmosphere inside the stadium was superb. It hasn't been that noisy (in a good way) for a while.

One word.. Leadership....

He sounds mature.

Unfortunately it will take something quite radical to get the current incumbents to drop the cloth cap thought process and take the sport forward. Not sure if it is possible but someone somewhere who has finally had enough but believes in the sport to investigate the possibility of taking a UK club into one of the European leagues or even the second tier of Polish speedway if that would be allowed. You would get (bar the weather) once a fortnight home meetings and everyone knows where they stand for the season ahead in advance unlike the debacle every year in this country. Oh to see the sport run professionally again. The other issue on the insurance, given the importance why did no one in authority do a press release on the website and in SS in advance notifying riders et al of the impending change? Probably because they simply could not be bothered and with that attitude would you really want to work for people like them.

Looks like there was some justification for Barker and Potty posters comments,still you have never liked Forum Fannie’s having an opinion.Nothing new there.
