He seems to be someone who has a long term plan (not heard that in speedway before!) and has definite ideas how the sport should be run. Can only be good for the sport in general if he can deliver.

Wonder what the other BSPA members think of him? He admitted live on the telly box a few weeks back that he didnāt make himself too popular with the others by publicly backing his riders over the insurance stuff but he just laughed it off. Donāt think heās the least bit bothered to be honest. He was getting on absolutely fine with Mark Lemon last night though. They were have a good laugh and a chat for a good half hour before the meeting. We had a chat with him ourselves a few weeks ago at the rained off meeting. He was just inside the gates with Andrew Chisholm as we walked in, no airs and graces with him, he seems a genuine down to earth bloke and is very approachable. He had time to chat and answer questions to anyone that was asking him. Edited June 26 by Aries 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 (edited) This is the type of stuff that ALL clubs need to do far more of. You go on some clubsā social media and official websites and theyāre mostly incredibly poor. Some rarely get updated at all and it comes across as they really canāt be bothered. Itās such an easy and simple thing to do and this is the kind of thing Coleman was talking about in terms of lack of promoting. Keep the X posts flowing, Facebook, Official websites, ram it down peopleās throats regularly and keep all the clubs in the forefront of their supporters minds. Its not a hard thing to do.

Well this weeks announcement got everyone talking about it before and after! Clearly doing something right! They way I see it right now is two perhaps three promotions are professional and forward thinking if the rest fall into line we might just get somewhere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to make the sport grow is to do the opposite make it stronger which will take time but ultimately would succeed.Ā While I'm not a fan of forcing riders to move clubs & think it's up to a club if they want to build top heavy or strength in depth, teams without top heat leaders rarely win anything (not since Peterborough's Dad's Army team) so can understand the desire for it. If the top 6 averaged riders got shared between the 6 teams, it shouldn't water the product down, especially if the points limit isn't lowered. The Champ had a rule to share out the number ones, no-one missed out (I believe Klindt didn't want to start the season in the Champ).
