Sprog1 79 Posted December 21, 2010 Sandhu and Frost have given the BSPA the option of going to court. The BSPA have obviously been advised that it would not be wise for them to go down that route. ,,,,,,,,,,,,OR it could be that the penny has finally dropped and Sandhu has at last realised that the very best he can hope for in court is a Pyrrhic victory that costs him a lot of money to achieve very little in the long run, whatever short-term mileage he thinks he gets from it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastern wolf 0 Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Assuming Cov (and hopefully Pboro) both return to the EL for 2011 whether a compromise has been made or the original AGM rules remain - surely we should accept the fact that the outcome has finally been resolved 'amicably' and that all EL members of the BSPA have kissed and made up. I would suggest that should this be the case we should all be able to live with it too...and if so, roll on March 2011 (despite the points limit)... There's a very good chance that none of us may be happy with the outcome but, as supporters, we have to live with any decisions taken today as we had no input into the goings-on of this close season. The scars of this winter might never heal either on this forum or at the BSPA but if we get a hot, dry summer with some great racing (and hopefully a British world champion - come on Chris) it'll hopefully take our minds off it.

YerRopes 3,009 Posted December 21, 2010 Neither of the three parties is going to put out a press release stating "hostile", "begrudgingly", "undemocraticaly", "against all that we believe in" etc, are they? Whether Peterborough are back or not we don't know. We hope there's ten teams in the EL next season without a doubt. But I just hope for the sports sake that the rules made at the AGM are adhered to and no fudge has been made to bring these two clubs back into the fold. That would do the sport no good at all. Hopefully both sides have realised that things have gone too far and are now having a 'real' AGM where they can actually talk to each other... Regarding your second point, I wonder why you are so intransigient - I would suggest you have a massage or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe a new AGM and new set of rules, achieved democractically, is the way forward Surely Steve knows a good masseuse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's funny I thought we'd already tried "democratically" and Cov and Pet didn't like it. Come on, essaitch, give it up now. Or at least give us your explanation of democracy.

DarrenCook 0 Posted December 21, 2010 I can see some fudge coming along, like Larsen and Sundtsrom exempt because they signed before the rule was brought in, and Pawlicki given a 5.0 to appease the worst promotion ever to grace the EL. Looks like shrewd team-building by the Bees!!!! Fat Maud out-foxed again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alan_boon 1 Posted December 21, 2010 Am I the only one who thinks having slightly sinister promoters and larger-than-life team managers is good for the sport? Can you imagine if every team had invisible promoters and managers like Middleditch (Steve McClaren) and Geer (David Pleat)? No great spectacle at all!

I really hope last May's democracy is declared undemocratic then and we can have another go at it till we get the result I want!!

essaitch 24 Posted December 21, 2010 Totally agree.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted December 21, 2010 Regarding your second point, I wonder why you are so intransigient - I would suggest you have a massage or something. Because I believe in democracy. What I don't like is people not accepting the results of a democratic vote and by the use of force or money changing what was democratically voted in.
