crescent girl 1,905 Posted August 22, 2017 be interesting to test this in law  The league is in effect a 'club' -- say like a golf club -- and can make its own rules. So going to court's a no-no.  But agree with original point -- the 'no changes after August 1' regulation which came in with too many Buster-influenced changes for the worse -- using a sledge-hammer on a walnut.  It was rushed in to stop late introductions like Hancock at Poole and Tai at Wolves, but failed to realise the damage which would be caused to other clubs. Perhaps it should only have been applied to the post-season play-offs?  Whatever, the past two seasons, this current one especially, have been an administrational disaster.  Buster's reign will surely be curtailed at the AGM. But who can be persuaded to take over, and steady the ship?  Thinks: Toni Frankitti? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very easy to blame one person like Buster Chapman, but I would say every promoter is equally to blame, the Chairman is only one part of a whole, and it is the whole lot of them that are to blame.

Simply YES, if I was in the same trouble as British Speedway, I would take as much advice as necessary to put it right.. If I don't give my customers what they want, my business is down the pan.
