Tsunami

I refer you to my previous post #2212 replying to OveFundinFan. If you had of read it, I am saying, it is not unusual to check what is actually going on when there is a problem before meeting or deciding what your next course of actions are going to be about the promotion. According to you, they should have either a, Told them they were going to chat to the MCC because of their (BSPA) concerns, or b, not talked to the MCC and believed everything that G and M were telling them. The BSPA chose to do what common sense that they and others would do in the circumstances. Find out more before discussions. You can stop digging in now, you have been saved.

Totally agree. i think you will find from his previous postings FF thinks that BC went behind BV's backs to talk to MCC. I think that BC would be following up the stories circulating to see if they were true or not. He needed to have a comprehensive history of things to see what needed to be done.

We got all the air fence panels fitted last week, and only need to now wash the 3rd and 4th bend panels. We will be doing that this Sunday, as the weather is fine and we will complete it then. In the next couple of weeks we have the fixed straight kickboards to paint in situ, and several smaller jobs like putting the rubber skirts back on the panels, as well as repairing and tensioning the fence for the new season. We start at 9.30am and there is biccies and hot drinks available at all times. Dave

Why. Before you start talking to the owners of what was a major problem, surely it is in order to gain information from the other side before confronting the owners. The info gathered would be the points for discussion rather than the points raised by the BV promotion. In business or the law, you don't have to liaise with one side, whilst you do your own investigations with the other side. Buster didn't go in as an individual, but as Chairman of the ruling body of the sport, to try and protect the sport as a whole. That's his job. Would any BV fan really just expect the promotion to plod on doing what they were into, and not expect Buster to do some prying to see what was really happening.

I think you are very confused about profit being the difference between the known debt, and a talked down debt to get an agreement. Hope you don't look after the house budget. In reality those figures show a break even. Surprisingly enough, it may come as a surprise to you that we have never made a profit of £200k at Newcastle. Shock, horror BTW, I think you will find that very few clubs make a real profit, especially in the Championship. Maybe we should hire you and Gordon to do the books.

And yet there are some on here who complain about the Chairman of the BSPA contacting the MCC to get more facts, having heard presumably that big numbers were being clocked up by G and M. He must have been horrified at the debt levels which were totally unrealistic. Anyway, delighted that with all parties getting together and thrashing out what seems to be a reasonable deal to all. We can now move on with live speedway, but i think some defendants of the clubs activities this season need to take stock of their 'loyalty'.

Going into the third bend, a definite Yes.

Just the one then. I think it works better with two people.

George Major

/b]....Family probably better off then[/color]. Tsunami this type of comment diminshises any credibility you may hold and exemplifies your bitterness towards me. For the record I doubt either party is better off however life goes on and as I said before I have no axe to grind. Could be correct. It's almost as bad as a favoured son trying to do the dirty on his father in public and still continuing saying he has got no axe to grind with his father.

Surely George's already has 20 years in and next year is his 21st. Key to the door this year.

Quite right DEAN. Young Chapman seems to be revelling in this, given the opportunity to do the old man and the BSPA, which has nothing in this case anything to do with BV. But he can't resist the opportunity can he ?. Buster must have been a lot happier man when you left him. I know I would of.

You know better than that. Didn't think you were that thick to think it.

That was Ivan Mauger.

Yes, and also Steve Lawson and Simon's Dad Trevor Stead.

So no change in the stadium personnel. DAMN.

One would guess that the new owners have signed a slimmed down contract based on what is already built, meaning it should be cheaper, and let's MCC off the hook to complete the rest of the stadium. There has to be that treat at the end of this messy rainbow.

I agree, but it has to be remembered that it is a very dirty area, especially immediately after a start with raw shale being blasted backwards at anything near the tapes. No doubt with anything electronic like a beam from the equipment is going to have to be cleaned throughly very regularly, and presumably you will only know it hasn't worked after the start. Got to be also remembered that tracks sometimes have a problem to getting the bottom of the tape mechanism to stay magnetised to the starter solenoid. Also happens with the sliding solenoid that realises the hook type. These are very basic in design and not very dirt sensitive, but beams and transponders could be a step too far and therefore less reliable.

Hope they are better landlords that the present ones.

Especially if they stall at the gate.

Yes, I did along with a packed concert room. It was a good night, with T and P giving us an insight into what goes on before and during a broadcast, an interview with Ludde who spoke very well, a guest commentator(Roy) talking over a GP heat when Nils pushed Nicki out, and a list of personal stories in Tatum's riding career including his reflections on the former Berwick promotion at Berrington Lough and his experiences riding with Kenny Carter. Nice to see a lot of regular and new faces in attendance. Had a footie card for a replica 1998 race bib with Nicki Pedersen and number three on the back, as well as a big poster signed by Nicki himself. Drat, I didn't win it. Didn't win the raffle either. Apart from that it was a good speedway night.

I would say no as it would be a BSPA hosted event and additional to the team meetings.

Same here, but I was thinking of putting it on eBay.

Already been announced that the team will be announced next Thursday, on the BV thread Ian.
