Greed and a lack of both discipline and vision have got the sport when it is,unfortunately the sport is in a downward spiral and all decisions taken these days are reactive and not proactive and the deeper you dig into the sport the more you realise that downward spiral is of our own doing as much as we like to blame outside influence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Here is an idea, after the AGM the bspl issue a brief press release saying we will be revealing all at the speedway show next Saturday at the motoring museum in Warwickshire in one of the conference rooms at the plush venue, get some riders and all the members of bspl and make it a big press conference type thing,get the league sponsors there, invite any press that want to attend,all singing and dancing, make it an event yes it’s preaching to the converted but they are all you have at this moment in time and you know what it all costs to do it ? peanuts, it just takes time an effort, you have 1000 stickers made with a British speedway logo and you give them away at the show, ask people to put them on back of their cars, it’s free publicity to 1000s of other motorists who are behind the sticker, get the product out there Edited 6 hours ago by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Unsurprisingly Mark Lemon in the SS is bigging up the Premier league and saying it just needs 2 clubs to move up. Otherwise it could have serious repercussions for the Championship if the commuting riders can’t ride because our tracks operate when they like meaning rider shortage and wage demands from all the rest. No TV deal might mean it’s plan B ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveArena Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Get Arry up there with some ex pros the currant bun would be there to publicise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beginning to look like the only reason 'Arry's services were acquired was to put a press release out that he (allegedly) watched Speedway on TNT Sports, probably in the hope of extending the TV deal with them... other than that I really can't see what he can bring to the sport.

Yes it does look like it was just a bit of publicity, the bit I don’t get is Redknapp does nothing for nothing and if he was going to do something for nothing it wouldn’t be for speedway, so what’s in it for him ?

A bit harsh.... 'Arry, in that article, seemed to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the sport from the early 70's to the modern day...😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
