Riders with the attitude of Holder & Batchelor are major contributors to the current state of british speedway.

King's Lynn Stars 2017
Dave Jones replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I just wish that we could get these two guys and pop them on a boat to Aussie, it worked well last time it was tried. However I'm expecting to see their names appear on someone else's team sheet very soon. -
Wasted effort, I'm afraid.

Holder's ban could be over before Lynn appear on track again. -

Quite right that he should too, he might consider himself fortunate that it was just 28 days, given his reported behaviour. -

Dave Jones replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Very Likely he's had the " mafia " whispering in his ear, hence no announcement. Not that it's so important IMO , he was out of order and has been banned for his actions . -

Until the next "brown envelope" is circulating that is. -
As a speedway fan your view will be seriously diminished then.

Fraud not spending much this season then. Could that be due to the lack of a big sponsorship package and a drop in attendances, or is he clearing the way for his exit from speedway? An interesting couple of months ahead i think.

Buster Chapman - Is He Good For The Sport?

I think the ammunition is for shooting themselves in the foot. The Knives are reserved strictly for the opposition.. -

They must have an endless supply of ammunition . -
Wolves V Rye House 10th July
Dave Jones replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A natural response from someone who supports Wolves My point was that given the available space after the alterations to the dog track, there could have been a much more "flowing " shape to the track. Just my opinion. -
Poole Pirates Vs Kings Lynn Stars 12/07/17
Dave Jones replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Probably caused by the huge explosion when the bubble burst down Wimborne Rd. -
Wolves V Rye House 10th July
Dave Jones replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Exactly.. There was an opportunity to build a very nicely shaped circuit given that the space was completely clear inside the new dog track. A golden opportunity missed IMO. -
Wolves V Rye House 10th July
Dave Jones replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Interestingly, when the modlfications to the dog track were carried out a monmore a few years back I did some work for a couple of the ladbrokes guys involved in the changes. I asked what was to happen with the new speedway track and they told me that the final choice was left to CVS.. The track shape could have been so much better.IMO -
Mind you, after some of the comments you post on here I bet there are one or two who would like to make them independent. .

Perhaps the RH promotion have got hold of the wrong average sheets? They are probably working off the info reserved for Matt.

So ! Someone who has been very instrumental in putting this sport where it is today, is rumoured to be getting out because he realises that speedway is "screwed". Speaks volumes doesn't it?

They were so cryptic that they kept me entertained for two or three days.

Thanks for the tip off . We would never have thought about that being a possibility without your input.

Presenters And Announcers
Dave Jones replied to LondonSpeedwayFan71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I popped up to Belle Vue last night. Spent a very enjoyable evening there watching a very good race meeting and being " entertained" by a very funny "Chase The Ace" , I'm just wondering how long it will be before someone gets upset by something he does whilst keeping the crowd entertained and he disappears from the scene. -
Presenters And Announcers
Dave Jones replied to LondonSpeedwayFan71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I used to listen to Yorkie back in the late 60's early 70's when he worked for what was then Radio Birmingham, later to become Radio WM. The problem is that he is still using the same material that he used all that time ago. I suppose some might say that his M O is perfect for speedway as it fits in with the promoters approach to the sport. -
Presenters And Announcers
Dave Jones replied to LondonSpeedwayFan71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
So in your world it's important to keep an announcer under control in order to minimize the risk of a fine, but the same promoters can carry on trading , moving around different tracks leaving debts to riders , stadium owners, and other parties unpaid. In my view your priorities are in the wrong place. But then I can't say I'm surprised, I think I'll stick with my Sh**t for brains thinking thanks.
