So the question is who would the promoters be.Β Are the rules not as follows?Β 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...

Arryβs got a pis*pot full of readyβs So no fear there. Edited October 13 by Youhave2minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Yes, basically to show them how to run an unviable business, how to not promote said sport and basically carry on running the sport into the ground, then to tell them any new ideas are not welcome, when the new promoter will realise it's a load of cobblers and walk away in much the same way most new promoters have done for the last 20 or so seasons, if anyone knows any different then please come on here and tell all.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 (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 Β (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 ??Β Edited October 14 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 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?
