Can the fans not know why our clubs are so affected by this decision, particularly my club? And why can’t we all use Thursdays like Swindon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder some us truly just can't believe how they have not bankrupted their own businesses, in the same way they have brought UK speedway to it's knees. It will soon be a chalk mark on the floor, like the stereo typical thriller corpse. It won't take Sherlock Holmes to work out what went wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christalan 2 Posted June 7, 2018 23 hours ago, g13webb said: It was voiced on this forum, immediately after the announcement of the FRN, that a vote was taken and Matt Ford voted to go along with three 2nd division teams, to keep Thursday free for championship . When Ford was questioned about his vote, he replied he voted to enable Poole to operate on Wednesdays... Some say this forum is gospel ; I can understand Ford's logic, it was typical of the 'I'm alright right' philosophy... But why was something so big, in regards to other countries fixture clashes, that is was put to a vote with teams that has no bearing on Ist division racing is beyond me... Surely the BSPA should have detailed Mon and Thursday's as FRN , as was suggested by the FIM, and then asked the teams which league they wanted to join, not give 2nd div teams, the option of day and League they wish to race. They sure made a real pigs ear of everything, Can somebody show me the indisputable evidence where Matt Ford was supposed to have made these statements or are they fictitious like many posts on here.
