ch958 2,396 Posted January 14, 2016 i think what this sponsorship package does show is that it is possible to get financial support with some work. Lets face it if you can get money in a depressed area like Teesside you can get it anywhere. Well done Ian Drinkell who is responsible for securing this support. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skid Sprocket 243 Posted January 14, 2016 so could tom , dick or harry become a promoter ? Three speedway promoters Tom Dick & Harry with alzheimers are living together. One day Tom decides to take a shower, so says to Dick 'I'm going upstairs to take a shower'. Tom is standing in the shower when he forgets whether he is getting into the shower or out of the shower. He shouts down to Dick, "Dick I need your help I'm up here in the shower & I don't know if I'm getting into the shower or out of the shower!" "No worries I'll be right up to ya" says Dick and starts to run up the stairs. Half way up the stairs Dick forgets if he is going up the stairs or coming down. Dick shouts to Harry, "Harry we need your help. Tom is in the shower & doesn't know if he is getting into the shower or getting out of the shower & I'm on the stairs and I don't know if I'm going up the stairs or coming down the stairs!" Harry downstairs says to himself "Jesus I hope I never get as bad as them two,touch wood" [harry knocks on table] "Is that the front door or the back door!" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slyfox 97 Posted January 14, 2016 CVS? Don't think you will get CVS travelling from the midlands every Thursday. Only comes up once or twice a season now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slyfox 97 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) At the end of the day Redcar is running a business like every other club . They probably need the money from selling Kus to keep the club running and if Newcasle have offered peanuts ( not saying the have ) just says what Newcasle think he's worth . Redcar will obviously try to get the best price they can for him like every club would do for their asset . We have some strange ways of running things in Speedway. Redcar want to declare Kus in their 1 to 7, he is their asset and they want to use him. Why should this have to go to arbitration at the BSPA. he is not being denied an opportunity to earn a living in the premier league. In what other sport would you find a situation where a team wants to use their asset and they may be made to sell or loan him out. From what I have heard Newcastle want him on the cheap. Promoters are scouring the globe to fill the remaining places in our league and the few riders that fit the bill seem to be holding the promoters to ransom. Cannot think why Newcastle would want him anyway as when I have seen him ride there he does not seem to like the track and rides it badly. He will certainly earn more points money at Redcar. He may end up at Newcastle but I hope Redcar at least get a realistic price for him. Edited January 14, 2016 by Sly Fox 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends what you call "on the cheap" As far as I understand it (reading it in the 'Speedway Star') Kus approached Newcastle after he'd put in the Transfer Request. That's why it should go to tribunal/arbitration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may end up at Newcastle but I hope Redcar at least get a realistic price for him. It should go to arbitration because slavery was abolished centuries ago. You can't force somebody without a mutually agreed contract to work for a specific employer for whatever they are willing to pay him. If you won't let him work somewhere else without extorting a large fee, then you are denying him a right to make a living. The real problem is not so much Redcar but the outdated and probably illegal asset system. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends what you call "on the cheap" As far as I understand it (reading it in the 'Speedway Star') Kus approached Newcastle after he'd put in the Transfer Request. That's why it should go to tribunal/arbitration. The term 'reasonable' comes to mind, rather than the 'unreasonable' figure asked for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
