Morning all....it has been a little while since I have been able to post due to work commitments etc, but I am glad to say that the updates should return to their normal regularity shortly, and boy do we have some interesting topics for you over the coming weeks, including a first look at the 'almost there' proposals for Beaumont Sports Complex (home of the revived Leicester Lions), and the possible re-introduction of a national forum for supporters which the BSPA will actually HAVE to listen to! Stay tuned...we want your input!
Poll Update
With regards the poll, there are now only 16 days left in which to cast your vote in our second poll, posing the question 'Would you be interested in purchasing a stake in a not-for-profit fan-operated speedway club?'. To this point, it appears that the majority of voters have said 'yes, I would', but suffice to say, there has been a disappointing level of voting so far....we need people to open their eyes to this possibility (it could be closer than you think!) and get casting their votes. TSR Blog is here to ensure actual action in relation to these words, and is not just here to pay lip service to the speedway fan. These votes could genuinely count toward change, so let us know what you are thinking today!

Hi Sherif,
ReplyDeleteAnother factor that I came across...
A copy of the latest Speed-Away Promotions catalogue has dropped through my letter box... and very interesting it is too. Front, back and inside covers in colour... and on the inside back cover "... and coming soon..." is a new book titled "100 Top British Defunct Speedway Track". Not just 100, but the "top 100". No wonder speedway is in such a state when we are promoting (and people are loving and buying this nostalga stuff) what doesn't even exist any more!!!! Go figure?

David...good to hear from you again.
ReplyDeleteThis is te attitude we now collectively seem to have settled upon in the UK. We judge our best stadiums in a list of decrepit and defunct venues!
Having said that, most of Robert Bamford's book entitled 'Homes of British Speedway' consists of former homes of British Speedway. A depressing reflection of where we currently sit in the UK...hopefully the impending construction of Leicester's new Beaumont Sports Complex can kick-start the revolution we so desperately need before the whole sport implodes!
