KevAustin 6 Posted August 9, 2023 Could be interesting times coming? Will Bombers upcoming statement open a few eyes as to what is going on with British Speedway? Some Honesty, Truth and Transparency would not go amiss! Something the BSPL and others have not given us. So it’s down to Bomber to deliver, let’s see!

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted August 12, 2023 It isn't going to be that revealing. I even doubt he'll release anything at all, was just frustrated & letting off steam. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 262 Posted August 12, 2023 How many times have we heard Bomber say “I’m thinking of leaving the sport” Let’s get one thing straight he can’t do anything else so all this nonsense about retiring is crap. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,290 Posted August 13, 2023 Be interesting to see what he is moaning about.. No one will have had more chance to earn money in the UK than Bomber over the past good many years... Due to the amount of "Guestfests" that take place and him being on speed dial in every Promoter's phone when one is needed... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4BM 116 Posted August 13, 2023 He’ll not say much, if he upsets the apple cart with the promotions that are left in the sport it’ll do him more bad than good when it comes to getting a contract for 2024 and onwards 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eide67 199 Posted August 13, 2023 Chris was asked about it by Paul Bowen on BSN on Friday and said he just wanted a good old moan about British Speedway which he thinks needs a big shake up from top to bottom. He thinks now is the time to save British Speedway which is losing tracks and riders coming through who 'don't get the chances'. Now he's been dropped he knows how it feels, but he doesn't hold grudges and spoke to Stuart at Leicester on Wednesday when he was there with his little boy.

Speedtiger 327 Posted August 13, 2023 I have a lot of respect for Bomber he’s been a good ambassador for the sport over many years and gives 100% effort for whoever he’s riding for or against. He’s been moved about from club to club not alway by his own making but always becomes a team player both on and off the track. He always has time to speak with fans. I’ll be very interested to hear what he says and I’m sure it will be the truth because that’s how he is. I hope he names the people who have dragged speedway down to the gutter level it’s in now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it’s become a bit of a joke about Bomber taking so many guest bookings but it says a lot about the guy that he’s always the 1st one promoters turn to. Scored a paid max on his guest booking for Wolves earlier this season, he’s one of the good guys for sure and will be missed when he’s gone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
