And everyone will be contented with that. It's the modern way... Be "Barry White" but it's OK, as long as you have done your best.. . "I am super enthused to get it right next time"..

IainB Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 It's a shame Sudden Sam never came across on tv like he just did there, I've listened to him on a few podcasts also and he's quite an engaging character, never translated to comms unfortunately 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I love Speedway and started off going down the Shay, Halifax at the back end of the 60's. Seen some fantastic meetings over the years but the match tonight is truly dire and is not doing speedway's reputation any good at all. It is truly awful. Probably a godsend that Birmingham are finished at the end of the season but nothing against the supporters (whom I have every sympathy with) and the riders. Unfortunately, it's just not happened for all concerned. A complete reset is required for next year. Seriously! Whether that involves an amalgamation of the two leagues or not, I don't know, but something major needs to happen. A total refresh but a top league with the likes of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Poole, Oxford etc etc would be a start. There has to be more variation with more teams involved and please bring back the Golden Helmet with decent prize money and sponsorship to attract the media's attention. Here's hoping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLurker Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 What a come down after the Grand Prix racing this is. Absolute tripe. Although embarrassingly for Eurosport the production quality and camera work is of a much higher quality in terms of viewing pleasure from BSN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too far gone to be saved... No wider vision at all from those who run it.. They will, literally, pay millions collectively to riders who put hardly one extra bum cheek on a seat... Yet, Jack "Barry White" to a professional marketing company who could give these riders some profile, notice and resonance.. Imagine Barry Hearn with Dan Bewley? He would have him all over the place... Well meaning amateurs pretending they are professionals.. They have zero skill set for what they do... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he talked me through the blue prints for his house he was building. ... .. I truly wasnt arsed, but the house looked great ..... A lovely engaging fella, and an absolutely outstanding speedway rider... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
