cometbaz 67 Posted July 5, 2018 Just read the press release about cancelling all the Friday night fixtures after tomorrow. What an absolute shambles this sport is. You couldn't make it up. Does anybody know any other business that is run in such an amateurish way. Those in charge get a holiday in the sun to dream up this crap. They must supply them with drugs to come up with the ideas that they do. Will the last one to leave please turn the light out. British speedway doesn't stand a chance with the present clowns in charge. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strange how it affects 3 clubs that are having an excellent season on track, namely Lakeside, Peterborough & Workington - Seems there are some nasty spiteful people making this decision, who are quite happy for other tracks to go to the wall Seem to remember, Laura being reassured she could have plenty of Fridays & now this is completely reneged - why promise something & then completely screw them over. Unbelievable 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree re: the Peterborough fixture Think he is being very diplomatic saying they have “disappeared” & “club has yet to receive any explanation” doesn’t sound very professional by the BSPA He seems to find the need to emphasise the need to come to a decision not “terminal” to clubs & reminds us of the closure of Rye House - seems serious to me Why have the 13/07 fixtures at Lakeside, Peterborough & Workington been omitted when only Edinburgh are at home that night? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unbelievable This is absolutely shocking Only 3 clubs affected , now there's surprise , the 3 who don't have corrupt people on the BSPA board, it stinks to high heaven !!! And 3 clubs who are doing really well on track too , the lengths some Team Manager's will go to , to win the league (Godfrey) . Rye House already destroyed made to race on certain nights, how many more clubs set to fold with these clowns at the helm .

So Scunny need Guests week in week out , Rider availability , means they can now try and get our riders, Lakeside, Peterborough riders to fill their teams and leave the rest of us high and dry fighting to get fixtures re-arranged , with our own rider availability...its an absolute joke . Obviously the Big Guns set to win everything aren't cutting it and teams like us predicted to finish at the bottom of the league causing a few upsets Glasgow, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Edinburgh all not affected ...tell me again who's on the BSPA board ???
