Best of luck getting a straight answer out of the BSPA or SCB !

There was a statement yesterday
-
Can't see it being Freemantle myself now unless certain things change, although he would be my choice now. Whys that Nikko?
-
Oh we'll might as well get a ban. Elephant man you are a to££er
-
15 pages and hardly a mention of what team you would like to see. I'd say David Mason, Ben Morley and Jack for starters. Maybe Daryll Ritchings ,Ben Hopwood and Brandon Freemantle if the Island is a no go. No idea of averages for this lot.
-
Freemantle would be a bargain 3 pointer
-
Fingers crossed for IOW , speedway can ill afford to lose its biggest track.
-
McManus and Logan vs Burt royal and vic Faulkner , wrestling at its best. Good old days.
-
Thought it would be funny for an IOW supporter to start a Heathens thread, just to wind up them troublesome Heathens fans lol. So what's new ?
-
Prefer to see McManus vs royal
-
So anyway, Byron, lovely bloke. Hope to see him back

Stoke has the makings of a great place . Sadly at present it's far from it. Of the many tracks I attended last year stoke was the most poorly prepared. I was there 3 times and on all 3occasions the track was close to dangerous. Now I'm all for home track advantages but not at the expense of safety. A decent track man and a lick of paint and its there. I mean, where else are the riders given a bucket to collect scrap metal on the track walk? And that's after it's been supposedly prepared. Not to mention the deep trench on the inside of the kerb on the pits bend, I bet the first aiders have to learn to pole vault! This is in no way an assult on stoke speedway, just saying. Good luck to them.

Why do Kent have to have Len and Blakie ? They'll be the death of the place.

British Speedway Promoters Meeting

Like he says^^^^^^^^ -
it`s not about the fastest motor on the Island, it`s the biggest balls to go in at the speed needed there.

Stoke And Comments In The Kings Lynn Programme
gaptooth replied to semion's topic in National League Speedway
lets not pretend the track was good last night,. It wasn`t, it was shiiite. Any track with a set of woops on the back straight isn`t good. -

Kent Kings V King's Lynn Young Stars, 3/06/2013
gaptooth replied to a topic in National League Speedway
Paul and Helen were clearly no mugs when they took Robert over to Germany. He has come back more than twice the rider. Fair play to all of the Lambert Family. -
British GP 2013

still looked like a primary chain caused FL to crash. -
after all Len did? what a few second halves? I am glad that Robert didn`t sign for him.

Jeff Scot has done a few speedway books. Worth a read.

DAVID MASON SACKED ‘THE TRUTH’ By David Mason Racing.co.uk | Wednesday 15th May 2013 “I don’t believe what is going on!” These were the words uttered by a rider who has been a loyal servant to his promoter whom he has known for fourteen years. That is Kent CTA Fire Kings co-promoter Len Silver, who Wednesday morning sacked his skipper after just seven rides this year. Mason clearly annoyed by the way he was informed and the whole episode handled on Wednesday said, “I’ve known Len for fourteen years and he has treated me like this is disgusting and I can’t believe it. He didn’t even have the decency to say goodbye on the phone, he just hung up. I did not stand down, no way did I stand down and no way did I give up my captaincy!” The first signing for Kent CTA Fire Kings earlier this year explained today’s bombshell. “Len phoned me and said he’s got no choice but to make changes after the second meeting because we lost by twenty points. He sacked me, he told me I was sacked and that he was bringing in Benji Compton. I said to Len at the time that you must be joking because I’ve put so much effort in this year not only to help and promote Kent Speedway along with bringing my sponsors to become involved with the club, I feel that not only has Len let them down, I feel disgusted for them because of the way that I have been treated.” Mason has been associated with Silver for many years, when not picked to ride for his Rye House team he has been loaned out to other clubs such as Weymouth and Mildenhall during this last decade. The idea of a transfer to another team has never crossed his mind; he has always stayed loyal to the promoter who holds his registration. “With the investment in equipment for the season that I have made do you think that I would stand down? This is not about me standing down at all, I wouldn’t dream of standing down. If I commit to something then I commit to something and give it 100%. I don’t back down after one and a half meetings, why would I want to do that?” Continued Mason who added, “I feel so sorry for my sponsors and my supporters. Many have made me fully aware that they will not be attending Kent Speedway in the future.” After reading the press release issued by Kent Speedway Mason was furious and said, “I can’t believe the press release that was issued by my promoter, supporters and sponsors deserve to know the truth that ‘I was sacked’, I certainly would not stand down and do that to Kent Speedway, the supporters and sponsors.” Mason concluded, “This isn’t the best decision that the club has made, Benji and I are not the answer for Kent Speedway. People who go and understand speedway know where the answer lies. If you make changes you don’t do it after seven races you give everyone a fair chance.”

not with that little hitler in charge they won`t
-
well I can assure you that David did not step down, he was sacked via a phone call this morning. That press release is a crock of rubbish
-
and the fact he lent stuff to half the team let alone all the promo work he`s done for Kent.
