Al Stewart 398 Posted April 8, 2011 Hooray :-) Yes indeed. The final sentence really does allow closure. Well done to Trump for that, no reason for either side to gloat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJC71 388 Posted April 8, 2011 About time too. Time to stop the agruing over the rights and wrongs and put this one to bed. At the end of it all the Elite League has emerged in a stronger position and can hopefully move onwards and upwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted April 8, 2011 That reads to me like someone wanted an apology and they have got at best an admission of wrong doing. What a truely pathetically worded statement, it does however look like Allen Trump has backed down while someone at the BSPA has acted like a pathetic kid, so fair play to him for that. I still cannot believe that last line is included, however many times I read it, it's pathetic! I actually thought at first it was a micky take but no, it's there on the BSPA website!

Steve0 5,517 Posted April 8, 2011 Great news! I don't know why they couldn't have done that weeks ago because it doesn't have any real details. Good news nonetheless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
