THE DEAN MACHINE

Mark Robinson , he calls himself willie benidorm

phillip did pjr have any riders using his engines tonight ?

Anybody know what that national anthem was at the end , it's not heard very often at sporting events

Every GP pawlicki plays the ref and wins, smolinski not holding his words back but he is 100% correct

https://www.facebook.com/dean.felton.39/posts/1532428323444545 It matters to these who ride for their team

I do agree with a lot of this post but where I do disagree is it does matter who rides for who , look at the following that polish teams have , same product as us but they get the team concept , we went to leszno a few weeks ago for a league match , from the moment you step in the place you know your at leszno , all the fans wear the same colour leszno clothes and the bond between the fans and riders is there for all to see , we sat right by the start gate and when a leszno rider was off gate 4 the fans were all but jumping on his bike to get behind him , the only doubling up allowed is under 21 polish reserves and that's for a purpose to bring young poles on , they don't allow guests and quite frankly would riot if one were used , they are their riders and it does matter by a long stretch just like it does in football , a team following will cover up a lot of short comings that may be happen in the rest of the sport but for me it is the basic principle of any team sport and without it I just follow the GP and polish league even though I have a track 3 miles from my house and was brought up with that team I don't go

while this is a setback , some of the words going round about Mr Benidorm and his antics are doing more damage to the seriousness of the trust

yes

The meet the residents night didn't go very well

brilliant lets just carry on ignoring the team sport concept and think about the riders pockets , that's going to end one way and we are already 3/4 of the way there the sport has got to find itself again , takes 2 steps back to take a step forward , currently we a wondering from calamity to calamity and we don't know where we are heading or what we are but the I am alright jack attitude of some in the sport has to come to an end ,even those people can see we are in trouble , we have to find a sound footing as a sport and build from there , it may not sit well with some but the bottom is where we are and until we acknowledge that and address the basics we will never recover, you can use gimmicks and name changes all you like it will never change a thing ,get the basics right ,get the team ethic going again like it is in all other team sports and people will given time get behind their teams and as proven with a lot of sports the product on show doesn't need to be thrilling as the fans are happy as their team is winning and will happily return because they feel like it theirs

count me out then and many others cause I want team speedway with teams not the select sides made up of other teams , it's a joke and quite frankly an embarrassment to a once sensible sport

yes it is , identity, credibility , it's a team sport ,I don't support my local team anymore because they are not my team they are someone else's

and you will still get some on here trying to justify doubling up

not a fan of falubaz but love the passion of their fans for their team

seems Mr Benidorm has been creating his own headlines again ,surely the trust can see the damage he is doing to their cause ?

yes sorry totally confused by the sport these days

i was a championship fan but I not attending meetings at all cause I can't identify with the "team " that's being served up , 2 ride for Ipswich , 2 ride for Edinburgh and I rides for Sheffield , that's not a team that's a swingers club

it was shown on magazine programme , nasty crash for iversen

We are at the point where we have got to stop finding reasons why we can't get rid of doubling up and work at solutions to get rid of it and for anybody who doesn't think doubling up is a problem ask you partner/wife is it's alright to spend a couple of days with another woman who lives up the road , see how that goes

I think it quite a decent meeting although I do struggle to get into the team format of it Good final

Who dictates the bikes are the less forgiving bikes that they are today ? Tracks haven't changed

a few months ago there was a massive auction in Italy of bikes, cars etc , along with ferraris ,porches and other high end cars there were around 30 speedway/ grasstrack bikes , from japs to GMs ,it was all recovered from someone who was being done for tax fraud , was it this guy ? The cars could be anybody but the speedway bikes must of been someone with a speedway background

The answer is to find out how many riders want to race in Britain next year , if there is enough then doubling up gets scraped , if there isn't enough then we find another solution . Maybe only Brits can double up ?? After all wasn't that what doubling up was originally for

there isn't enough British riders but there is enough riders , someone on here last year did some statistics and said last season enough riders rode in the uk last season to fill all the teams for this year , I really think we should adopt the polish system, no averages top 5 any rider but every team has to include one Brit and the reserves have to be British under 21 , they can stay there until they 22 , each team signs 3or 4 reserves and the ones that don't get picked that week can double down , I know people will argue that the wealthiest team will get all the best riders but as shown with leszno last season and Torun this year paying top dollar for the best doesn't work

while guest are a neccerary evil for covering injury although there has got to be a better way doubling up is an evil that is neither wanted or needed , there is enough riders who would commit to ride here there is no excuse
