T.N.T. 355 Posted December 7, 2018 DOES BUSTER CONTROL THINGS ? ....... YES However there are a number of ways that things need clearing up or addressing especially as one man now owns three out of seven clubs in one league. Firstly in all AGMs be it Industrial, Unions, Sports etc when it comes to voting, the Chairman doesn't get a vote unless its tied and he then gets the casting vote, but in speedway he gets three out ofseven votes and therefore only needs one to tag the same line to get what he wants. VOTING - Why in a AGM do they split into different rooms to vote. the meeting is for PROMOTERS of British Speedway and not one Premiership and one Championship the should all get a vote on all issues. As it is Buster and a few buddies go into a room and vote on issues Buster wants and with a few mates gets whatever the select four or five want regardless of what the sport wants or needs. The sport had a great chance of rebuilding here and give fans more meetings, more variety and more affordable for all but with a few notes being handed over to buy clubs it was never going to happen as suddenly there was a different seven voting but the result stays the same and nothing changes and we are still getting ready for just six opponents to visit over and over again with just 12 home league matches over an entire season of 28 weeks. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much better that than having Championship clubs outvoting the Premiership at every opportunity!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rathbone or Louis then talks to Buster to ask if ok. Buster agrees but in next few days informs Rathbone or Louis that Rider A is available to the other one if they want as nothing is signed. So a deal is then agreed at the other club or Busters no 1 club ... Kings Lynn. So then Peterborough or Ipswich then have to start again.... not as though Kings Lynn , Ipswich or Peterborough would be offering anymore money would it? And leaves Peteborough or Ipswich with leftovers..... Is this likely to occur? It seems like Buster is doing an ok job so far. Don't seem like his 2 new clubs(for now) are getting the left overs with the Panthers and Ippo reported to be pretty much complete. Looks like Lynn might have the leftovers at this rate, or certainly not all the best riders Hoping for a good 2019, with some good battles 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
