scunny1 434 Posted October 3, 2021 Not quite what was said. Rob Godfrey joked to Jake that if he scored like he did against us again ,he would not be riding for us next year. Jake scored 14+1 in our home meeting ,then went on to score 15 points at your home meeting later in the season. So Jake took little notice of Rob's tongue in cheek, jokey threat!

Who is the chairman of the BSPL. No Bias in that then??? Everybody else would have had a chance if they had shown an interest to the BSP Ltd & Jake himself.

Rider ‘ ownership ‘ is a controversial subject. All riders are self employed and therefore legally free to work for who they wish, speedway is running an outdated system which, if legally challenged , would be thrown out. Never seen the point in ‘ owning ‘ riders you don’t intend to use even if you class them as club ‘ assets ‘ , which is only in place so the BSPL can rake in some funds if you go bust. Whilst some senior clubs literally own dozens of riders contracts and therefore assets, most of them will have retired or never going to be used by the owning club just used to bring in loan fees.
