uk_martin 1,606 Posted January 13, 2017 Buster Chapman will be live on Facebook next week. It'll be speedway fans chance to fire questions at him and for him to answer live. You can tweet them in to #askkeith in advance if you want, and no doubt all the serious questions will be asked, won't they? You can then ask more questions on Twitter or on Facebook Live by adding comments on the day. No doubt the comments with questions will flow thick and fast, so it's easy to miss them. Much better to tweet in advance and if you see a question that you like, retweet it, to gain it some gravitas. SO... what are the questions that you want to ask? Let's start with: 1. What the hell is going on at Coventry? 2. When will the humble fan know what is going on at Belle Vue, and who the promoters will be? 3. How do we know for sure that Swindon won't share the same fate as Reading? 4. Why was the SWC switched from the NATIONAL Speedway Stadium to your own stadium at Kings Lynn? ...and over to you for the rest..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 13, 2017 Why did the bspa invest £360,000 into the GTR project when there are clubs struggling for air fences and junior leagues having to fund everything themselves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ch958 2,395 Posted January 13, 2017 Why did the bspa invest £360,000 into the GTR project when there are clubs struggling for air fences and junior leagues having to fund everything themselves? because long term a mechanical solution to costs was needed - if not junior leagues and air fences wont be needed 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will answer question 4 already for you- in previous years BSI/IMG have used Kings Lynn for the SWC. in 2016 they did a deal with Belle Vue. In 2017 they are returning to Lynn. Switching doesn`t come into it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 13, 2017 because long term a mechanical solution to costs was needed - if not junior leagues and air fences wont be needed Sorry didn't realise you were buster? A solution may/may not be needed (cough cough rev limiters) however I don't feel it's the bspa's place to invest many people's hard earned into any business venture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Skid 425 Posted January 13, 2017 360K!! They could have used that to pay the Riders who are still owed money by their own Members. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 13, 2017 Sorry didn't realise you were buster? A solution may/may not be needed (cough cough rev limiters) however I don't feel it's the bspa's place to invest many people's hard earned into any business venture Or as it is known in the business as SKY money. 360K!! They could have used that to pay the Riders who are still owed money by their own Members. So a fraudulent promotion could just plod on with more debts knowing the BSPA will pay all the bills. I will answer question 4 already for you- in previous years BSI/IMG have used Kings Lynn for the SWC. in 2016 they did a deal with Belle Vue. In 2017 they are returning to Lynn. Switching doesn`t come into it. Got to remember r and r, it is the well known troublesome uk martin who was asking that one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Well its all gone so well so far!! 23 seconds of Nigel Pearson's voice (which can be enough for some people) and then nothing!!! So the top man in our sport's association plus a full time media specialist and we still can't get it right. Why didn't they use someone who's done it successfully before - like the Glasgow boys or the Piratecast team!!?? Edited January 20, 2017 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
