I suppose we'll have to wait and see on that score Looking at what has happened to speedway and the tracks over the years there is hard evidence to support my comments. Yes there are good and bad in everyone but when it comes to money people can become very difficult. While I can do nothing but praise the promoters for working to get speedway running supporters naivety is an issue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted June 14, 2021 15 hours ago, Midland Red said: So? So..... it meant that some Leicester fans held a grudge forever and would never set foot in Brandon. Not me though as I transferred to the Bees in 1984 being as it was just a quick drive up the M69. I could never understand the long lasting anger at the Coventry promotion because there was a team of directors who made the decision, not just Charles Ochiltree. Not only that but it was nothing at all to do with the promoters who followed after the Ochiltree's sold out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something I have always wondered about because the last match in 1983 was nothing like any other final meeting. No goodbye speeches from the riders, see you next season, no nothing. Very strange. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,935 Posted June 15, 2021 Why are Wolves allowed to delay fixtures by 4 weeks? If the whole league stops for 4 weeks, this will ruin the momentum that the Panthers have built up. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try thinking about the whole sport instead of following the BSPL normal policy of only thinking about the track they run / you support. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had no inkling that the last match would be the last match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fear is that several clubs delay their fixtures by 4 weeks, we won't get the league completed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
