TTT 1,229 Posted July 10, 2023 I don't like Buster at all but I don't want to see British Speedway lose anymore clubs. The sport in this country is in a bad enough state as it is, I hope everything works out well for KL in the end. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT I feel the situation is so bad and has been so poorly managed it appears to be inevitable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retire as in sell up Saddlebow ? Or just retire from Speedway promotion ? If it’s the later he did that several years ago when Waggy took over the Promotion.

Unfortunately for Buster he has been let down at both promoters halfway through the season, and is trying to pick up the pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is really surprising is Buster allowing a situation to arise where it could all fall back on him and leave him seriously out of pocket. Thought he would be far to cute for something like that to rebound on him so badly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was probably up to date, in terms of wages, but my guess is that Alex was paying for AL's package on top of his sponsorship. Now it is no more..
