gmuncie 201 Posted May 18, 2017 Apparently due to the length of time taken for the Belle Vue situation to be resolved the BSPA made a ruling prior to the season that Newcastle would get priority as they had signed him up first. The decision itself I don't agree or disagree with but the ruling not coming till the afternoon before the meeting is a disgrace Reported here. http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100711 Interesting that the BSPA made their decision for the good of the sport. So far as I know Worrall is a Belle Vue asset, which would mean that Neil Vatcher made his decision in accordance with the rules.If that is correct then what on earth do the BSPA think they were doing. When will they learn that you can't ignore the rules when you think it suits, not if you want the sport to have any credibility and how did they think their decision was in any way in the interests of Belle Vue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted May 19, 2017 Also, with Matt Williamson guesting at reserve there is every chance that their reserves will outscore ours. An Aces win with Bjerre back in the fold but looking forward to another exciting match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted May 19, 2017 Any Swindon fan disheartened by last night's home defeat should not use that as a reason for not coming to Belle Vue tonight. Somerset fans made a similar mistake, they even had to cancel the planned mini-bus, with only a small but noisy group travelling to see their historic win. With Doyle and Morris they are bound to keep it close, Bellego has started the season on fire and Wajtknecht was very impressive for Lakeside against The Colts. I'm not sure what to expect from the other three but, like the Somerset lads, they will relish the chance to show their skills on a proper speedway track. I obviously think Belle Vue will win but with no home advantage the only guarantee is fantastic speedway. Don't miss out! you are so lucky to be able to say all that about your race track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leander 495 Posted May 19, 2017 He's a Belle Vue asset so regardless of who signed him first he should be riding for them in any clashes. See #19. he was NOT a Belle Vue asset when he signed for Newcastle. he was a BSPA asset as Morton & Co.'s license was anulled. IF Belle Vue have reaquired the assets from BSPA then Regulations clearly state "Further transfers will NOT have any effect on rider priority". He should be at Newcastle. It is Vatcher's decision a SCB manager to say he will ride at Belle Vue. Not the BSPA. He didn't even have the courtesy to tell the Newcastle promotion.
