Steve Shovlar 10,453 Posted March 21, 2016 The statement put out by BV could be a legal cover for them. Imagine 50 people going to small claims demanding BV pay for their hotel, fuel etc as they knew of the problem but still allowed people to waste their money fully in the knowledge that these people were wasting their money. Do the BV two actually have any actual financial input in the club? The stadium isnt theirs, so basically they just have the lisence. By bringing the sport into disrepute can the bspa remove the licence and stick a promoter in there who could do a good job. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the point I made on Sat SS, if the track not being good was known beforehand who knows what the courts would award costs for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 21, 2016 Instead of playing the blame game, why doesn't whoever has the fans money (belle Vue I imagine) let them know how they can get a refund! Disgusting that there is still no statement on that 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Gordon and Chris Morton have spent seven years of their lives bringing this to fruition. It's a hic-up, a big one admittedly, but if you manage to go there Steve you will marvel at what they have achieved and appreciate what a wonderful facility British speedway has at it's disposal. Do you honestly expect them to walk away and allow another promoter (Matt Ford?) to reap the benefit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) What is the point in The BSPA ( or Buster Chapman) saying its not our fault etc etc. They are the controlling Body so they should be controlling. Or would that be too simple for them ? If I had spent the money that some appear to have spent on this total farce then Speedway would not get another cent out of me. The BSPA should be standing up taking their share of the blame and be big and bold enough to say to the this is what we are proposing to do by way of compensation for all the people who have been ripped off by. Yet again the Speedway fan bends over takes another one up the harris ( no pun intended on Bomber). Buster's brand new World of Speedway has got off to one heck of a start. WHY. It's BV's track, and their opening night, and had the relevant licence covering actual dimensions. If a promotion goes ahead with a meeting despite advice to the contrary, it's down to them to get it right. They didn't.

Disgusting that there is still no statement on that THERE will be a statement but, as in Warsaw, there are a number of legal hoops to jump through. I honestly don't believe there is any intention not to provide refunds although, of course, this doesn't fully compensate people for travel costs, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted March 21, 2016 All we are missing is a statement from the contractors saying it isn't their fault! Actually it wasn't their fault to go ahead with a faulty track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
