Steve0 5,517 Posted December 18, 2010 I wonder if this is the time to say how you'd feel if it were to happen? If Coventry run with changes made to the rules that forced their hand in the first place, I'd be delighted - not only for the Coventry fans but for all fans of speedway in this country. If Coventry run having caved in to the absurdities of the AGM, then I'm happy for the Bees fans that get to see speedway this year but I don't think the EL will get my money (not that it does as much as the other leagues, anyway) much this year. If Coventry run it will be because they have fallen in line with the other BSPA promoters and offered their humblest apologies to be brought back into the fold. Glad you won't be spending your money on the EL *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Blachshadow 2,924 Posted December 18, 2010 If Coventry run it will be because they have fallen in line with the other BSPA promoters and offered their humblest apologies to be brought back into the fold. Or it could be because a compromise has been reached. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beeone 0 Posted December 18, 2010 Another unconfirmed story, FFS why not just wait until there is an official announcement, all this thread will do is antagonise the usual suspects, it doesn't take much!! Regards, Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colincooke 0 Posted December 18, 2010 You know that for definite, do you? some people just don't get that certain members of The BSPA we're out of line at the AGM & the walk out was for legitimate reasons hence the legal route being taken. it's time someone burst the BSPA's little bubble & if Sandhu is that man good luck to him.

skeletor 20 Posted December 18, 2010 Glad to see the BSPA backing down to the might of Sandu A great day for justice . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan_boon 1 Posted December 18, 2010 Glad to see the BSPA backing down to the might of Sandu A great day for justice . Again, we don't know that that's the case. It may be that a genuine compromise has been reached - perhaps a low points limit but with the vindictive decisions removed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Authorised 60 Posted December 18, 2010 Again, we don't know that that's the case. It may be that a genuine compromise has been reached - perhaps a low points limit but with the vindictive decisions removed? A compromise is a very difficult and uncomfortable position for all involved. I remember philfromcov´s post, several weeks ago now, it means that we limp on to the next big fall out. Compromise could be seen as weakness from the BSPA, and another promoter may attempt the same in future. Compromise would also have to feature some drastic review of decision making before the next AGM to prevent this from ever happening again. Hopefully, Jon Cook´s idea of an independent body may be added into the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully, Jon Cook´s idea of an independent body may be added into the mix. How can you say that without knowing what the compromise would be? For example, the compromise could be as simple as Coventry running this year under the agreed rules on the basis that there is a complete overhaul of the management structure of GB speedway before 2011.

Authorised 60 Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) How can you say that without knowing what the compromise would be? For example, the compromise could be as simple as Coventry running this year under the agreed rules on the basis that there is a complete overhaul of the management structure of GB speedway before 2011. Any form of compromise will show a weakness to the BSPA. Even Shovlar sees that. What is a "complete overhaul" of a management structure anyway? Replace old with new on the MC. Surely it is the rules and t´s and c´s that need updating? Edited December 18, 2010 by Authorised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted December 18, 2010 Or it could be because a compromise has been reached. Glad to see the BSPA backing down to the might of Sandu A great day for justice . The only way Coventry will be back is on the agreed 40 points limit that ALL teams are currently building too. Sandhu has played the legal card and it appears to have failed. Guess the bully doesnt get his way. Happy days. The good news of course is that the Bees should be back in the EL. Thats the best part of the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
