SteveArena Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Phil Morris has been very quiet. He should do an interview on a speedway podcast to let everyone know what is going on. Communication has been poor. He used to come on here and answer questions but has done a bunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I am sure the UK Speedway Marketing Director, and the young team of innovators and influencers who work for him/her, are working on the launch even whilst we discuss it... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Can imagine potential sponsors at Northampton has long time lost interest similar with other clubs to a lesser extent cant even tell a potential sponsor how many teams are in the league this close to the start of the new season in all honesty who would be the slightest bit interested in sponsoring a club ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the longer it goes on, many potential sponsors may lose interest in putting money into a local track, as the sponsor will have to include the money in a potential business plan and organise to bring contacts for a day out at their chosen fixture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidvej Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 9 hours ago, Steve Irving said: And here he is again regurgitating the same old crap on various threads. You have a clear agenda here against Richard Coleman for reasons only you know. It’s blatantly personal. Steve Irving seems to have developed a mild allergy to facts when it comes to Richard Coleman and Mayfield Sports Events. A quick look at Companies House shows that Mayfield only came into existence in August 2025 — meaning any “track record of success” is, at best, still in the paddock. A quick Google confirms that while MotoGP’s Tech3 team has a long list of investors, Richard Coleman is not among them. Mayfield hasn’t even staged a single Speedway Grand Prix heat as event controllers yet, but somehow found time to slice riders’ prize money by up to 30%. Yet Steve calls their involvement “huge”… and he’s right, just not in the way he thinks. It’s a huge gamble — a huge leap into the unknown. Meanwhile, the much‑rumoured Mayfield takeover of Ipswich Speedway still looks some distance from the chequered flag. With February 18th upon us and no deal in sight, we’ll probably see the Easter Bunny before that contracts get inked. Maybe Steve’s just still got stars in his eyes from his favourite little‑known TV show, Track Idol, where he votes for Richard Coleman week after week — while the rest of us prefer the factual series Unblinkered. You have also never considered that, being born in the late 1960s, I have been in and around speedway for a very long time, nor have you considered that I have crossed paths with Coleman and know how he operates... For the sake of speedway, and people, fans, riders and others, potentially left high and dry by Coleman / Mayfield, but history says otherwise... Have you seen Flagrag's comments later in this thread ? : "Unfortunately Mayfield don’t have a great record with Speedway organisational skills. The GPs that they promoted operationally were a disaster with a number of important things that they forgot to arrange and in the end Discovery got them out of a mess by arranging the missing bits and bringing their operations team in. Even on the day little things were not arranged like buffet and food for officials , sponsors not getting their pit walks and badge allocation with track marshals names not on lists for practice just for the event etc " 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do they know you are divulging confidential information? I'm sure they won't be too happy. Best get your CV updated...😉 Dont give up the day job, as if you are trying to be a comedian, you wont even be able to sweep the stage ! I never worked in banking, and was fortunate enough to be able to take early retirement, so you trying to be a smug little grass fell flat, unfortunately for you !

Now it's claiming that Companies House says Mayfield only came into existence in August 2025, even though Companies House clearly shows it was formed on 1 October 2014, and merely altered its name in 2025 to reflect its new move into MotoGP and Speedway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now Dean is sticking the boot in too. Come on people at least give them a fair crack of the whip before writing them off as disasters waiting to happen ffs. They’ve at least shown up to keep the show on the road whilst those that lay on an excellent buffet have buggered off. Bizarre. Anyway, veering off topic here. Northampton. Can anyone upload the pics of the Holders there today? I don’t do Faceache. Edit: Just seen Haza’s post.

Thank you I care for the wellbeing of the sport and that’s all,as of this moment mayfield have been anything but credible about their speedway venture, they haven’t even said they are the company doing it. So forgive me if I don’t share your enthusiasm for another possible speedway disaster, I’ll be happy to be proved wrong Edited February 18 by THE DEAN MACHINE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
