So the question is who would the promoters be. Are the rules not as follows? They can promote the team with the guidance of an experienced BSPA member but they cannot vote on anything for two years but must pay there membership fee / bond as others do. I assume the guidance is to help them along and point them in the right direction (ie do as there told and follow the instructions and rules of fellow promoters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arry’s got a pis*pot full of ready’s So no fear there. Edited yesterday at 08:54 AM by Youhave2minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Here is an out there scenario, think of Ryan Reynolds taking over Wrexham football Club and having it filmed and a documentary made by Netflix. Harry redknapp taking over a speedway club (Northampton) and having it filmed for a documentary series on Netflix bringing in much needed revenue and exposure for the sport, a bit too out there ??

Surely this is something Phil Morris should be encouraging ?, instead he now seems to be a part of the BSPL and that in itself means being stuck in the same old same old, Phil himself is now part of the problem and not a new broom bringing in new ideas.

Genius idea. Go one better and make another series of that Harry's Heroes. Get Loram, Floppy Norris, Dean Barker out of retirement for one last rodeo.

They'd need someone to hang it on from the sport itself Tai perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted 36 minutes ago Report Share Posted 36 minutes ago If anyone is planning to take Northampton into the Prem, they must know the Prem needs them more than they need top tier racing. Should be in a strong position to dictate that heat leaders get shared out etc. Could say the same for Oxford, if they'll only be left with Birmingham's riders, stick to Champ racing?
