stevehone 3,412 Posted October 28, 2017 Ged should have said sorry but no because Holder is contracted to Peterborough and committed to appear in certain events. Holder was going to go whatever, so why not try to make the most of it, and there was no way Poole would have let him get a 28 day ban at that point of the season 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocket007 101 Posted October 28, 2017 This is one problem with doubling-up riders. Holder should have got a 28 day ban from all British Speedway, but why should Poole be punished for an event that had nothing to do with them. Peterborough should have said no, then if Holder still went off to Poland, then he should have been sacked immediately. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New era Panthers 2,055 Posted October 29, 2017 obviously depending on the advice received Ged broke the rules he knew it was wrong regardless of him seeking advice from the BSPA vice chairman and whoever else . Simple , but those that gave that advice if proven should also be penalised. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montie 1,273 Posted October 29, 2017 It seems very likely that it could be goodbye to both Peterborough and Scunthorpe What utter rubbish Only in Speedway gossip would a club taking a bung lead to the closing or another club With 3 fabulous signings already made for next year,Scunny wil be at the tapes come the spring when you read most of the quotes on here now wonder speedway is fecked,we are master at talking down our own sport,utter madness! I dont see what Godfrey has done wrong. 1. Member of BSPA want to break SCB rules. 2. MC member of BSPA advises the member that in his opinion the SCB will give him a slap on the wrist so go for it 3. The SCB actually properly punish the BSPA member Ged took Godfreys advise, it was only ever advice because Godfrey isnt the SCB or anything to do with the SCB. Becarefull SCB,your talking to much sense for this thread! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,156 Posted October 29, 2017 the bspa dont need to make ged pay ,they will just take it out of his bond , refund/ask for any difference .if either peterborough or ged dont pay , the just revoke his means of being a speedway promoter and close peterborough speedway down .any person wanting to carry on with the speedway has to find anothe bond and needs a co promoter to be beside them in their first season . Ged’s been fined by the SCB not the BSPA. The initial bond although paid by the Peterborough management was mostly raised by Peterborough supporters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted October 29, 2017 To even ask for advice says to me that Ged thought the deal might be iffy. That being so common sense says either knock it on the head or ask the authorities and get the answer in writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondlil 33 Posted October 29, 2017 GED had no need to get advise from Godfrey.if he knows the rules he would have an idea what the consequences would be.££££ took over the grey matter and look where it has got him.godfrey should not have got involved when approached.both Godfrey & Holder should be punished as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,919 Posted October 29, 2017 If Ged took the money and the funds are being spent on Peterborough Speedway. What's the problem? The other promoters seem bitter that Torun didn't want one of their riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris116 753 Posted October 29, 2017 Since they have told the SCB to hold a judicial review I do hope that the SCB know of a JUDGE they can employ rather than keeping it to friends of the BSPA. Maybe the ACU should investigate both the SCB and BSPA! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
