It would be smart for SPL and the speedway community to put as much distance between themselves and Mr Drever.
Not a good look more so as Mr Drever had his now liquidated business plastered on his midget
At a time when SPL are looking for support and are having to fight for there future having an involvement with Mr Drever would be detrimental.

I have raised the topic due to the future of western springs.
People who wish to see speedway move from Western Springs including factions within the RFA and or others could potentially use Mr Drever’s actions and involvement with Western Springs for their own benefit and agenda.
The other concern is Mr Drever’s business dealings and the people these dealings effected.
A bowling club is a grassroots sport with your average punter (club member) who supports their sport, pastime and club.
I would suggest most of the people who attend Western Springs speedway in the stands each week are very similar.
Personally, it does not sit well with me, as Mr Drever has taken advantage of these people for personal gain and treating people and the bowling club with very little regard for their future and livelihood.

Will be interesting to read more comments on this topic / Don't expect too much jimmyj, if my deleted post over on the main page on the same topic about a month ago is any thing to go bye. I agree with axl1 comments, and believe we should be free to discus this serious matter openly on here, provided of course we stay within the posting rules. Do any moderators have an issue with this topic? Banned real estate agent breaks silence on 'morally' questionable lawn bowls deal |

What is the difference between taking advantage of a speedway and a bowling club. Nothing. That is all i have to say on the matter.

Do any moderators have an issue with this topic? Banned real estate agent breaks silence on 'morally' questionable lawn bowls dealI don't personally, but it's Gordon's final decision. Much of it is now out in the public arena, so as long as people don't descend down the regular "I heard" or "I was told" path, I don't have a problem with it. Aaron was back on the mic at WS this year after a season on the sidelines after the real estate debacle came to an end, and since then there's been The Mad Butcher story, the Bowling Club moral diliemma and the ongoing Nosh/Grocers Market saga, so I imagine it's something that the promotion is already discussing.

Barry B My only concern is how this will effect the speedway community. I raised the issue after reading an article based on the bowling club. After reading more details about the liquidation for Mr Drever's business i hope his speedway adventures as a car owner was not at the expense of others ie staff and creditors. Unfortunately this would bring unwanted attention to speedway and its future at the springs. I hope this is not a situation that parallels Scott Tucker in the US. |

I'm not fussed either way so long as it's kept seemly. I might point out though that the more you post about him on a public speedway forum the more the association between him and the sport will be noticed. |

I do not believe that we should try and hide or diminish the fact that Drevor does indeed have a strong association with our sport, and in particular this site where he was, WAS, a member and moderator. The general public should now be given a very clear message by all those within the speedway fraternity that care that we do not approve of his despicable actions in any way. Disgraced, unlicenced agent aids in flip of million-dollar property |

Well the latest article only appeared on the NZ Herald and Stuff websites within the last 24 hours, so it's not that old. And there's plenty of room for plenty more topics. Barry B |

I personally think someone with his poor record AND lack of respect for people in general (to make a $ or 2) he should be told in no uncertain terms that his behaviour is not accepted by the springs promotion and he will be dumped from any employment associated with the speedway and only allowed to continue as a car owner only !!

Well at first when this and other information came to light i thought he needed a good kick up the backside to say the least .
Now another drama of events ,has entered the arena and Arron is nothing short of a clown thinking the circus of his making will go by unnoticed .
Its not the first time in the speedway sport we have had such activity many names throughout the country could easy fall out of the hat ..
To me this guy needs Help and it is not found easily ,his heart loves the sport ,but his mind leaves him astray thinking i can do this, and do that,he maybe old enough ,but a restriction needs to be in place,so his fantasy doesnt escalate into the present situation s ..
Money can be one of the most evil problems in this world ,if it is not carefully managed and thought about ..
I feel a little sorry for Arron ,he had a operation that changed his life ,but now has caught a disease for the unknown ..

the problem is finding a replacement. nobody is irreplaceable. thats a poor argument. as others have pointed out , you are judged by the company you keep. trumps ex-employees are having trouble getting employment..... |
