THE DEAN MACHINE 4,756 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) I found Mark Robinson's comments on SPEEDWAY FRIENDS (Facebook). While rather strong in their presentation, I could not see anything detrimental to the Cradley Heath revival application. Maybe I am missing them? And so far as National League is concerned - I found Facebook pages relative to other sports but not one dedicated to speedway. his comments are not detrimental to cradlleys plite , it's his behaviour and while some may see it as being a "Lad" or a "lady" are the council going to think favourably towards him ??

I have always been, shall we say, not very impressed by his mighty mental powers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedibee 3,091 Posted August 28, 2017 he tends to spout his venom about speedway on speedway friends page or national league page but I think as you can see from his FB page what sort of person he is , there is more that's happened recently but I can't say on here but safe to say it doesn't put the trust in good light , he is a liability and should be kicked out of the trust and that is a view shared by some of them but it seems not all Speedway Friends ???? how does he get away with that , Karl Fiala is absolutely pathetic in his massively over zealous censorship .so much so that even the most moderate of people don't bother with it .

MattK 3,447 Posted August 29, 2017 Does anyone have a link to the actual application? I can't find anything on the Sandwell planning web sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THE DEAN MACHINE 4,756 Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Does anyone have a link to the actual application? I can't find anything on the Sandwell planning web sites.from what I'm told it was not valid and has got to be resubmitted but the mood has changed in the trust , there was genuine optimism a month ago , now it's gone ,in Mr beniforms own words there is infighting within the trust although he can't see he is the cause of most of it Edited August 30, 2017 by THE DEAN MACHINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted August 29, 2017 I have read Mr Robinson's passionate calls for other clubs to form Supporters Trusts, but I really can't understand why you have to pay 3 grand in order get a group of like minded fans together. I also have never been able to get a straight answer about who pays the losses in fan owned clubs. I think the real answer is that they all need a wealthy backer. As for the planning, what a shambles. How can you submit plans which are not valid - and even worse, how can you go to the media BEFORE the plans have been accepted by the planners? Have any indications been given as to whom might be paying for this development? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm told that there is people who will finance a track but surely these people would want 100% control if it ever came to fruition , I know I would if it was my money , they are jumping the gun on a lot of issues and now it is starting to backfire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you finance a track, which would easily run to seven figures and not want a return on your investment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted August 29, 2017 If that's Mr Robinson, he does look a bit of a tool. (assuming that foam head thing is supposed to be a hammer?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,430 Posted August 29, 2017 I'm told that there is people who will finance a track but surely these people would want 100% control if it ever came to fruition , I know I would if it was my money , they are jumping the gun on a lot of issues and now it is starting to backfire and herein lies the reason there won't be an independent body controlling the sport. Mark Robinson is nothing but bad news within the sport, and letting him deal with councillors etc is asking for trouble. Think we'll have another Norwich on our hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JJ 512 Posted August 29, 2017 As for the planning, what a shambles. How can you submit plans which are not valid - and even worse, how can you go to the media BEFORE the plans have been accepted by the planners? Why didn't they ask Tony Mole for advice or help? He has a lot of experience in planning applications over many years, including Cradley applications. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
