This saga beggars belief. One minute Mr Bartlett had the most profitable season ever, not a week later hes lost thousands Thank god no one actually beleived the waffle and bought the club, exactly how much debt would they have been taking on I wonder??I think the BSPA do need to take some responsibility for the riders wages as if they were not getting paid they should have monitored the situation, the warning signs were there for all to see with bouncing cheques last season and this. Personally I think the writting was on the wall when both Wessex Bus and Doonans withdrew thier sponsorship last year. Both companies put in an awful lot of money to the club it would be very interesting to know why these long time sponsors withdrew thier support I do think you are correct, Mr Bartlett would like us to beleive he is the victim here, and maybe had he been straight from the start he would have some sympathy, instead he has stitched up the riders and supporters who now have no club to support and wil no doubt walk away scott free.
Hopefully the Phoenix will be getting ready to fly again but I dont hold out much hope after MR Bartletts comments about the sport be unviable in Weymouth, would you buy it??!!
