Dave Jones

Particularly as when he was caught out he was the presiding chairman of the BSPA. Hardly the action of a responsible person in my book.

see post no 75.

They could always ask advice from the BSPA fare dodger. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he had successfully avoided his train fare costs on trips prior to his apprehension.

My first ever speedway meeting was at Brandon in 1959 . I'd been to Silverstone with two work mates to a vintage car race meeting and they introduced me to speedway on the way home.I was hooked!! Just to add ..... Watching the video tugged on the heart strings a little.

https://twitter.com/jeffdavies170/status/818111120682655744 I realise this video has been around for a while , but it is an opportune moment to remind us of the history of Brandon Stadium. Don't forget to switch on the sound.

I didn't suggest that they all did. My point was simply that if any Aussies wish to conduct themselves like Holder & Batchelor did , then British Speedway would be no poorer without them.

Not if they conduct themselves in the same manner as Holder & Batchelor. IMO

This could soon become quite an explosive topic.

I saw the "ticket dodger " at Sheffield yesterday and I did wonder if he had paid his fare from "Bonnie Scotland" this time.

I think it's fair to say that your post shows that you have no perception of the real issue here.

you could try a PM.

If it's Wilf then the brummies could be on " thin ice"

Then again some might describe him as a knowledgeable speedway person who has the ability to see what really happens at Wimborne Rd.

Just found the report, doesn't sound promising. http://pages.cdn.pagesuite.com/9/a/9a6d1c4b-7079-4260-b25f-fbcb51de7203/page.pdf

Yes, I realise that, but TWK was responding to a post about another company who are also involved in building in Poole, who we understand also own the Brandon site.

It's not the stadium . They are wanting to build flats on a site about 1 mile away near the Poole Hospital.

I seem to remember he was" on another planet" at other stages of his life too. Allegedly

beat me to it.

Hopefully we won't see him running any clubs again.. A step in the right direction for British Speedway IMO.

Also what about the properties he stated that he wanted to buy when he first arrived , to house the top stars that he was going to get to ride for the bees. That's more assets,............. Isn't it?

Funniest part of all this is that Starman actually put a like onto your post.

We need a " mole " to keep us informed.
