But on the other hand the stuff they sell is usually the same as next door yet cheaper. And they are putting money in to speedway. So thank you Bauhaus!

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 8, 2018 Utter guff waste of time tournament to massage a few corporate ego’s. Pointless event where fans have zero affinity to any team. Would be meaningful if club or country. As it stands, unless you are an employee, who cares? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,993 Posted March 8, 2018 Of course,the competition has been snookered by BSI and the FIM now.When it was an international team tournament it was interesting,but obviously got up BSI's nose.Since turning into some strange firms event it has lost a lot of interest and I expect now BSI have moved into the pairs territory there is even less point in the thing.Some speedway fans on the fringe will still lap up anything though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve69 49 Posted March 10, 2018 Generates sponsorship into our sport & TV coverage which can only be a plus-plus in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,993 Posted March 11, 2018 Always a question mark against those.The British league has never had better coverage on tv than in the last decade,but what has it dome?The state of British speedway has continually dropped over that same period.As for sponsorship,there is also a question mark as to what extent that helps,and to what amount is pumped into the sport.I kind of have the feeling that this sponsorship is on the level that McDonalds sponsored Tobi Kroner or Robert Barth....i.e if you asked at McDonalds HQ about the sponsorship nobody would have a Scooby doo what you were talking about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
