mikebv Posted yesterday at 06:53 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:53 AM Any white smoke coming out above the BSP Tower in Rugby? Is the Union Jack flying outside to mark whether King 'Arry is in residence? Imagine being any reasonable sized comoany looking to get involved in sponsoring UK Speedway's "flagship league", and witnessing such a way of working?... "We are interested, but the optics of only six teams doesn't look like something with too much relevance"... "Well, technically, we only currently have four, but don't you worry about that, we have a cunning plan, and, rest assured, we are masters when it comes to cunning plans"...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Perhaps we have got this all wrong? To find out what made speedway so great back in the day the bspl and speedway futures have been watching old episodes of world of sport with Dickie Davies and they have put their collective heads together and decided that Kendo Nagasaki is the marketing idea to follow, Northampton will not be revealed to the public until a few years time and compete all their matches as a complete mystery to the public, see there is us lot slagging them off when really a genius idea was being implemented all along 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you needed someone who could dodge everything and still come out a winner, Les Kellett fits the bill but both are probably off the radar for the BSPL. More likely Steve Logan aka as Harry Redknapp. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago I truly cannot believe the negativity on here .. It is almost like people are not taking into consideration the innovative, successful, marketing genius of those who have run the sport for the past 15 years plus.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be brutally honest, he's probably looking at where the sport sits and thinking, "do i really want to get involved with that again?" On 2/23/2026 at 6:09 PM, Phannan said: To put up with accepting the total disrespect that the leaders of our beloved sport are showing their customers with regards the new season , yet we’ll continue to turn up , makes us either totally delusional or we can’t shake off the bug . I get the feeling many will try to this time and rightfully so. They’ve failed miserably on their watch. Does sometimes feel like "don't worry about it, these mugs will come whatever we serve up". Out of interest, as someone who no longer reads the speedway star, how are they reporting on this? Are they being critical or are they just pretending everything is ok like they did with the Coventry and Peterborough fiasco in 2011?
