Trackrat 440 Posted July 6, 2018 3 hours ago, Starman2006 said: Im pleased to see this , yes we can move on. We all stick up for our clubs and rightly so, sometimes some might go a little to far in that respect. But we, all the fans now have our own fight, we all need to come together for the good of british speedway in this country, im probably like all of us not liking whats going on at the top, and im affraid this has got to change, there needs to be a big shake up in the management committee positions, Somebody a KL fan on the Chapman thread kindly put up what he and we all probably think, Love him or loath him from a Poole point of view, we now have the posibillity of Matt ford walking away from British speedway, and that doesnt sit good with me, yes there are other problems in british speedway, but the root of the problem imo is at the top, and this needs to change. Somebody i gather mentioned starting up a petition to stop Matt from walking away, i totally agree with that, i also feel very strongly, that changes should be made at the top of the management comittee... Matt Fraud is the cause of a lot of the problems with his selfish, win at all costs, cheating attitude, would be for the best if he did throw it in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be banned for calling someone an idiot does seem a bit harsh but those are the rules. Think it’s best to move on... He actually wished him dead Steve0, and some of his tweets are plain disgusting and verging on criminal. I have just blocked the vile tube, end of story ..

Won’t hold my breath though. It seems if you have a blue & white badge in your car you can come out with any vile comment without reproach. Sad times. You show me where i i stated fallen or injured riders. You are very quick to have a dig, but when the boot is on the other foot you do not like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No group of business men & women could be so stupid as to watch for over 10 years while their business melted away. Could they? As i said in an earlier post, i think it is now time that the fans gave the management comittee top man a vote of no confidence, that doesnt mean stop going to speedway, just make it well known of our feelings. before its to late. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully agree that the structure of UK Speedway needs a complete overhaul with totally independent oversight and regulation of each and every element of the sport including the “promoters”. I think we’ve all had enough of the antics of the BSPA and it’s “self licking lollipop” approach to the way the sport is run in the UK. It’s long overdue for a major restructure!!!! And a change at the top... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted July 6, 2018 I agree, so HOW do we organise a national petition of fans who support a NO Confidence motion in Keith Chapman as Chairperson of the BSPA? I have organised paper ones but not online digital ones. Anyone can help us? And let's hear from others re a Thumbs Up OR a Thumbs Down on the idea. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, again the balls in the fans court. But something needs to be done we need a change. And if there is a vote of no confidence then they would have to take note..

You did say something ironically profound given your situation now and moving forward, it put me in mind of the Lou Reed song redone by the BBC a few years back.....
