Brady seems to be a lot like Rob as he had supported the Stars from a young age and followed them all those years.I personally don't see anything wrong in his appointment.A new fresh approach is what is needed.

But then again you could probably say that about Dale, and Rob Lyon (Don't think Rob rode) to be honest, what about Peter Adams. Tracks and engines change all the time. The best advice for set ups etc would come from one of your team mates on any particular night. Although not all riders engines are set up the same either. 58 minutes ago, Haza said: Is Alex Brady a yes man if so he will get on fine if he isn’t a yes man as others at the club have found could be a short lived appointment.. Was/Is Rob Lyon a yes man, i very much doubt it....I know Alex reads the forum. The honest answer to that is who knows. Only people close to him will know his nature. He loves his speedway, i hope he knows all the rules and regs (not easy mind ). No doubt Dale will be on hand to help if need be. His has the balls to offer or accept the role, which ever scenario it was. So give him a go until the end of the season, see how he gets on. Best of luck Alex.

Any of us experienced fans (that take notice) can tell a rider the best way round pretty much every track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ride the right lines, but if your set up is wrong for the track/conditions, your going to struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedtiger Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 This is an astonishingly desperate move by the intellectually challenge Chapman even by his bizarre standards. A inexperienced fan having the responsibility to run a speedway team.....has clueless Buster lost what bit of sense he had....?? Yes. Alex good luck pall, coz you will certainly need it. PS.

semion Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Let’s hope Brady doesn’t accept the infamous Calculator Mainman Rogers had in his brief spell at the Club.

Terry Tibbs Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Guzumped talk to me! There I was in the log cabin concluding a deal with Busty for Jimmy Lynch & Main Man Rogers to be his team managers,when this dude in his XR3i shows up, shouting “sold it geezer! 1.5% commission, it didn’t even go on right move, where do I put my board?” Slick back hair, suit from Next and shiny shoes from Barrats! I couldn’t compare with such suave! Before I know it Busty offers him the job there and then! Main Man Rogers is heartbroken had his resignation to Mase typed up too! I’ve assured Main Man Rogers and Jimmy Lynch I’m slipping Busty a few hundred quid to sponsor the Stars next year! On the proviso that T Tibbs Motors Europe Limited’s operations director Jimmy Lynch is named Team Manager and our head of customer relations Main Man Rogers will be his assistant. I’ll even throw in a lovely Renault Clio Convertible for Big Dale! You know it’s a deal you can’t refuse Busty!!! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club has stands full of team managers. I wish him the best but if he does badly & gets sacked then I guess the Stars will be needing a new team sponsor too?
