madmostin Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Look how many exotic car makers there are. If someone, anyone wants to put a bit of extra effort in for a passion of the sport then good luck to them. This forum wouldn't be here without someone making an extra effort. All the manufacturers started with a big idea. A risk. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old trials fanatic Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Sounds to me more like milking the subsidies gravy train yet again for all that it's worth. Once the subsidies run out then that's it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gasgas249uk Report post Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Sounds to me more like milking the subsidies gravy train yet again for all that it's worth. Once the subsidies run out then that's it. So which other relevant trials projects have folded , that you know benefited from subsidies once they had run out ? Yep thats right - its all gossip and guesswork mixed up with throwing mud at the sport we all dearly love and should be supporting. Firstly , im sure many of the subsidies (im not saying all) will have ground up. Thousands of jobs have been lost in Spain because they have ground up. Secondly - You dont know if theyre claiming grants etc. If they are, so what ! The money is there in a pot....to be spent by someone.Who cares is they get some EU money !It gives them jobs and hope and supports our wonderful sport. Small grants perhaps , but Id put money on the fact that this project will not be milking anything other than the bosses bank balance. I would much rather the trials boys get it than some lame lefty set up. We all pay a lot of tax already.Its not going to decrease. We need to tackle the benefit culture to do that. Here we go again .It really gets my goat that this happens. A new project comes out and the knocking starts . Support.....Give them the benefit of the doubt. Stop throwing mud. Lampkin is a National treasure. He doesnt deserve to be associated with such gossip.
