Perhaps you could provide us with an interesting letter, would love to read that one.

It's always been a problem for every promotion, I must be honest and say it didn't look like Peterborough were on top of it but as someone said if the boss doesn't mind why should we. I liked the every one paid in the Australia quote and staff were refunded afterwards, remains to be seen if Horton changes things but I seriously doubt it will happen.

Indeed I was, you surprised everyone last year as did Woffinden. Don't see it happening this year though.

I think its commendable that your in such good spirits and looking so forward to the new season. If I was supporting Wolves I don't think I would share your enthusiasm because Woffinden apart it looks complete pants.

Good to see you and other promoters getting involved and answering questions on the BSF, should come in handy during the season.

Verdict still out on that one especially as he wont have seen too many of the tracks and his away form has been his Achilles heel for years but should be very good at the Showground.

As people know I am no fan of the BSPA or the MC but surely the fault here totally lies with Doyle.

He isn't the only one.

If they co-operated properly and ran the EL & PL on different nights from each other we wouldn't have a problem.

It's you that needs committing.

Excellent

Fully agree with this and I hope we have a good year in the PL, if we do I think we will be OK but I worry about crowds if we are not competitive.

Lakeside Officially the slowest track currently operating regularly in the UK

To be fair bearing in mind GB,s current standing I thought it interesting that 4 people wanted the job. Best of luck to Rosco in what is a difficult job in the current climate.

Would he like to get away from Belle Vue.

It's a good point and worth repeating. Website story's promote interest, I thought the KOC question was a good one as well, if it's been decided and we have been told it has who are we riding against.

I have emailed and complained to both the BSPA and SCB when the need arises but found the BSPA office very poor in the way it conducts itself and know promoters that have fared little better. As for decisions that have gone our way I struggle over the last decade to remember any although being fair their must be the odd occasion. I think the basic problem is the BSPA don't feel the need to change or certainly the ones pulling the strings don't.

I am not confused at all but yes your probably right that I don't know you that well, What I do know well is how your organisation works having had years of personal experience. So impress me, make me change my mind, let's see the BSPA operate in an open, honest and up front way and let's have a rule book that's clear and cannot be interpreted to suit any particular person or club.

No I made several friends and good contacts whilst working for Peterborough some years ago and have a few years experience of working with the BSPA office and the MC and know how they operate. I still have a good circle of friends within the sport and most of what I hear certainly isn't unsubstantiated gossip, pretty sure you haven't got a scooby do bearing in mind the degree in absolute bollox you continue to spout.

The problem is that their is not enough riders to go around. The other concern is that EL second strings and reserves don't get enough meetings in just the EL to survive, the top boys ride abroad so it isn't as much as a problem to them. Yeah right. For an Elephant you certainly have selective memory.

I wonder if anyone at Sheffield has thought of changing their race night. Wouldn't be a problem for Morris then.

Your forgetting the BSPA protocol rules Rule 1. The BSPA MC are always right. Rule 2. If the BSPA MC are wrong rule 1 applies. Rule 3. In the event of both above rules being wrong the BSPA MC reserve the right to make it up as they think fit. Clue - Hoggarts on the MC

Like who for example

Well that rules out Lakeside and Kings Lynn then. I take it you meant hospitality, lol
