Humphrey Appleby 13,942 Posted November 17, 2016 I can't help but think that they'd be more credible if they were more in bed with the fans (ie those that read the Star) than the management. They should take a balanced view - critical of the sport when it deserves it, but try to better explain to fans the realities and difficulties of running the sport. At the moment though, there's far too much cosying up to the 'establishment' position - the Melbourne GP being a notorious example. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stoke Potter 242 Posted November 17, 2016 Never bite the hand that feeds you, SS is just a BSPA newsletter. DO you actually read Speedway Star? Perhaps people wouldn't so readily come to conclusions such as that if the SS made a much stronger case for the dismantling of the status quo with the BSPA, and pressed more for solutions along the lines of an independent commission? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HAVE done that many times. However, the new-look SCB which kicks in on January 1st, 2017, will adopt stronger authority over the BSPA that the previous set-up.

Lord Skid 425 Posted November 17, 2016 I give up, can you honestly expect the new SCB supremo biting the hand that feeds him, but time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IT'S not a supremo but a collective who endeavour to take a stronger grip on British speedway. Just the messenger here, time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,624 Posted November 18, 2016 IT'S not a supremo but a collective who endeavour to take a stronger grip on British speedway. Just the messenger here, time will tell.It is worth pointing out that these are not people whose livelihood is dependent on the SCB or BSPA and who have the interests of speedway at heart. That said whether the new set up will prove more effective remains to be seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
