Skidder1 7,637 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Seems like an attempt by BV to use their local paper to influence any potential decision and to curry favour with their fans. Totally wrong imo. NB I'm not one of the Poole fans that would support Poole being awarded the 4 points - but there has to be some proper disciplinary action!!

Over the Years there have been other Teams/Promotions that have should we say " called off Meetings under odd circumstances" Belle Vue`s only problem is how they went about things seemingly Lucky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted May 11, 2013 This is the same SCB that took no action when Poole riders admited in writing they were throwing meetings to get averages down. Why are people shocked? Do as you like, nothing gets done about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,282 Posted May 12, 2013 the truth will out!!! justice is served, no one tried to 'con' anyone else, and all acted with the utmost integrity, just as it should be..... the sport can now move on into a glowingly successful future now such a complete and thorough investigation has been observed with meticulous detail being so expertly dissected... there's nothing to see here, please move along.... , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Where's the 'Official Statement' from the SCB exactly????!!! I've seen the article, which even I could have written had I been a journo in Manchester!!!!!! I needn't have even been in Manchester - I could have emailed it through if I'd been stuck at an airport overseas, maybe!!!!

BADGER69 33 Posted May 12, 2013 In football I believe only a referee can call a match off This should be the same in speedway. If for any reason a club (waterlogged track etc) want to call off a meeting then they should ask the SCB to supply a ref who then makes the decision. This episode does leave a bad taste in your mouth and pages of ammo for the conspiracy theorists out there 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little-End 4 Posted May 12, 2013 Here ya go , and I can`t see this being in print unless BV have`nt had some sort of notification fron the SCB ...... surely ?? Headline - Aces off the hook after burst Pipe Belle Vue Aces have revealed that they will not be facing a hearing following the postponement against Poole a fortnght ago. The Speedway Control Bureau announced that they were going to investigate the postponement after a reported burst pipe waterlogged the second bend at Kirkmanshulme Lane. Photos of the Track were posted on Twitter by disgruntled Poole riders , but they did not show the reported flooded areas, However the SCB deemed it enough it enough to investigate. Belle Vue issued an apology for the postponement the following day and on the back of that the SCB have decided not to hold a hearing A new date for the Poole meeting is yet to be decided. There was a few more paragraphs which covered other items unrelated to this Meeting This report was written by a Mr Aaron Flanagan who is quite new to reporting on BV news in the Manchester Evening News.

BWitcher 12,453 Posted May 13, 2013 Love it.. Belle Vue issued an apology so the SCB felt that's enough! No wonder this sport has no respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted May 13, 2013 It's the SCB who investigated not the BSPA!! Strange an article has been published without the official statement from the SCB's investigation being made public 1st!!! And who do think runs the SCB, Harkess & CVS.
