spin king junior Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Exactly what speedway needs. Some fresh young blood to bring the sport into the new age. Welcome aboard Arry, I'm sure you won't look lost amongst the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Who knows what the publicity brings to the sport. He knows some influential people and if it is true , he might just reignite interest in the UK. Nothing to lose really if you have an high profile name lend it to the sport. At this stage no point in knocking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, David Rodwell is a "business consultant" with a motorsport background. His current company https://www.extratime.app/ has an app that "Gives sports fans VIP access to their favourite sports stars behind the scenes" Jamie Dobb is an ex-motocross 125cc World Champion from 25 years ago. Why do you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 19 minutes ago, mikebv said: No way did he say all that ... T'riffic..... Exactly. It read like AI had written it. We had the "0-60 faster than an F1 car" line. "No brakes, risking life & limbs" line etc. The idea is to increase a more youthful culture within the sport. Yet, here we are again, wheeling out a near 80 year old where anyone under 25 probably only knows this guy for 'I'm A Celebrity'. Surely, surely, surely, there must be recently retired football players / managers out there that have some spare cash to throw about? We've tried Celebrities in the recent past & it didn’t even create a ripple. Keith Flint (rip fella) & Mark Webber. Also John McGuinness & Carl Fogerty from the biker world, not a ripple to help the sport. It could be a foot in the door to Premier League Football but I'm not convinced his contacts would be recent enough. We absolutely need to try & get our fingers in to Football, Formula 1 & Pop Music, absolutely First & foremost, British Speedway is absolutely desperate for modern facilities but, even looking at Belle Vue's, the numbers coming in are terrible considering their location & upturn over the last couple of decades of inner city upgrades. The toughest thing for Speedway is, that absolutely everyone don't know what they want. From promoters to still attending fans, most have zero will &/or ideas to move this sport forward in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaksey Posted 12 minutes ago Report Share Posted 12 minutes ago I've never known Redknapp to mention speedway, I've never seen him at Poole or any other track for that matter Perhaps he's introducing Bet Victor as the new League sponsors...
