It never hurts to make your opponents out to to be duplicitous two-faced liars. It helps a lot when they are duplicitous two-faced liars, though.

Grand Central 2,654 Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) It seems to have become a fact of the modern world that in all walks of life, at all levels it has been increasingly rare to ever come across a person in a job who is seriously impressing. A depressing fact as well. That changed a lot today for me. Phil Morris really really impressed me. British Speedway. World Speedway is very lucky to have him.

Colinspeedway 40 Posted September 19, 2023 Just watched that video of Phil Morris today at the Coventry Stadium planning inquiry and came on here to see if anyone has said anything. I am pleased I am not the first person to be thanking Phil and praising him for what a great job he did. He made a really good case for the sport and considering he gets a lot of stick I think he did an excellent job and provided what can hopefully be a useful contribution. Good to see some people are still fighting for the sport. On a separate note interesting he mentioned a possible new club for next year.... ?! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so sure his repeated "can't give you details due to confidentiality" was very helpful. It's supposed to be a public inquiry. Surely this should be in the public domain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine he was airing your companies details/activities. Those that were happy to share (CVS) was there to do so, and credit to him for doing that Edited September 19, 2023 by iainb 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lioness 1,455 Posted September 19, 2023 Im not a fan of Phil Morris but he certainly did a pretty decent job in that meeting of standing up for speedway. Surprised he forgot Glasgow as one of the clubs who own their stadium..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Clark Osbourne says Speedway is a dying sport, so why is he a director of a company trying to build a new stadium in Swindon?" What a stroke of genius to use Osbourne's lies against him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cast1rn 464 Posted September 19, 2023 I watched it too and was massively impressed by his account of the state of British speedway and where it's destined to go. The Goat Toat chap came across as someone I wouldn't want to spend a great deal of time with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
