Richard Coleman and Andrew Chisholm, nowhere to be seen. Whats going on there?

Racin Jason 72 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Having gone to meet the riders and having heard from the new promoters I have to say my first impression is that I think the club is in very good hands. Chris Louis had really pushed the club to new professionalism levels and commercial success. He and Julie deserve a lot of credit and I thank them both for their efforts Richard Coleman spoke very openly and honestly and he is definitely a very strong leader with a clear vision. He believes like most fans that the way forward is for an independent ruling body to stop the self interest ruining the sport. it’s going to be a very interesting seeing how the top table deal with this breath of fresh air. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they have with others with a similar outlook? The 360 podcast with Rob Lyon was interesting in so much that he outlined many of the issues that the promoters wanted to tackle and most of them were regular issues brought up on here... Therefore, maybe with the him and Mark Lemon now directors, there is now actually a recognition that there is a need for change, but, as well, also the desire to make those changes to move the sport forward... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say Coleman has already pi$$ed them off and been ostracised. Three clubs held their press and practice Thursday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He indeed spoke very well, and was very professional, you can see that he is a level up from everyone else within the speedway community, very open about how people within speedway are only interested in what is good for themselves and not what’s right for the sport, I liked the change regarding FIM points system next year and his input into that! I was impressed with most of what he had to say, even touching on Grand Prix in GB vs in Europe and the amount of issues this country causes in terms of costs and putting on events. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an added expense for the club and hasn't brought more people into the sport or gained any more media interest in my view.
