WRDukes Posted Tuesday at 04:09 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:09 PM Like old Harry, Sir Phil has kept his 'love' of Speedway very quiet over the years? He was the MP for Shipley so wonder he ever visited Odsal? I seem to remember that a certain Nick Brown MP was the chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Motorcycle Speedway, was Sir Phil a member? Oh, I wonder what happened to Nick Brown former MP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundTheBoards Posted Tuesday at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:21 PM (edited) It's only a couple of months since he became Chairman of the Greyhound Racing Board. Before that he became Chairman of Star Bookmaking group. Now he's suddenly into Speedway. And he's also set to become non-executive director of The Racecourse Association in January https://racecourseassociation.co.uk/rca-confirms-appointments-of-new-chief-executive-officer-and-non-executive-director/ He certainly seems to like picking up these roles since losing his seat in Parliament. I guess you've got to replace the income from somewhere. Edited Tuesday at 04:56 PM by RoundTheBoards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM Question is who next ? I see Hugh Edwards is making a making a comeback, could he be the next high profile person to reveal his long time love of speedway, it’s hard to believe speedway is in the state it’s in with all these folk declaring they were secret speedway fans all along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t hold you’re breathe, people like Harry and Sir’s don’t do nothing for nothing, they are on to an earner some how and it seems to be at speedways expense, all is not well in speedway circles and I don’t think the self appointed saviours of speedway are exactly endearing themselves to a section of the bspl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
