Happy Hunter 370 Posted June 9, 2016 I think that most people agree that, if any rules have been broken, then a punishment should follow. It's the scale of the punishment compared to other decisions in disciplinary cases that bothers me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 valve 558 Posted June 9, 2016 Bomber normally goes pretty well round Leicester... Hard to tell if it's because he rides the track well or if it's because he's riding against our weak team though! He passed Doyley around bends 3 and 4 last season.. not someone who could be regarded as weak oppo. Plus, if first two corners are altered as per 3 & 4 for next eason there will be some good lines for Bomber to exploit without the need scrub off so much speed as previous. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted June 9, 2016 If anyone took over the reins at BP the first job I hope they would do would be to alter the track, the second one is to approach the Council to get the land that is wated behind the disabled car parking and the wasted land at the side of the main entrance that looks a little like a bomb site into much needed carparking, instead of as at the moment having to use the the shopping carpark, with a time limit on it when it is a free carpark as only SCB knows to well.

The council are still waiting for the football pitches and BMX track to be provided . plus any new owner would have to remove all the spoil that Hemsley dumped where they were supposed to be sited . £35 a load went a long way towards the cost of building the track , but hey lets not tarnish st davids crown with any facts him not financing the whole place 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,292 Posted June 9, 2016 To move Coventry to Leicester in place of (or even in addition to) Leciester would be madness and would work for nobody at all. So given the BSPA's many previous examples in devising and implementing plans, we know that this is exactly what will happen!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevethelion 192 Posted June 9, 2016 Interesting piece on the Leicester Mercury website tonight ( sorry don't know how to post link) . DH says he will appeal fine " on a number of grounds" including the "huge" fine."I feel the press release misrepresented me & is not an accurate statement of fact". He says "I hold my hands up to threatening and abusive language but there were reasons behind why that was the case. But I am not a liar"." The fine also needs to reflect the actual allegations that can be substantiated" . He goes on to say the fine will be paid one way or another & will have no impact on the future of the club. Also adding, that he told the SCB 3 weeks in advance he couldn't attend the hearing & gave them 3 alternative dates when he could attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) He said - they said!!! I have to smile upon reading that DH criticises the SCB for the way they've publicised the adjudication and then he does the same with his letter of appeal?!

Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 9, 2016 And admits his guilt in it as well. He admitted threatening and abusive behaviour, nowhere in the article does he admit to anything else. There again I'm not a great believer in the press giving the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He also says he informed the SCB that he was unable to attend on the date and gave alternatives but I note you haven't quoted that bit I don't know the whys and the wherefores of what he did or didn't do but I do have a sense of fair play. In a court of law pleading guilty usually means a lesser sentence, If that applies to the SCB lord above knows what the original fine was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admitting guilt in a newspaper article has no bearing on a hearing that wasn't attended. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
