Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Well he was meant to be. Seems the BSPA have changed their mind last minute. Thomas Jorgensen takes his place Edited May 18, 2017 by Mr Blobby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ned Kelly 41 114 Posted May 18, 2017 Surely Worrall is a Belle Vue asset? He would always be racing for the Aces ahead of Newcastle, wouldn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondGlory 58 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) A rider from my other favourite team (Aaron) guests for us and i don't even get to go to the meeting. Typical... Anyone fancy taking my place at college tomorrow? Anyway, I reckon we'll take a point at least. Draw if we're lucky.

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted May 18, 2017 Surely Worrall is a Belle Vue asset? He would always be racing for the Aces ahead of Newcastle, wouldn't he? Don't think he was "always" racing for the Aces. It seemed the common view around CL folks and Aces supporters that he was riding at Armadiddle. Is there a charge that the BSPA are bringing the sport into disrepute or have they been doing that for donkeys years so it would be thrown out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a charge that the BSPA are bringing the sport into disrepute or have they been doing that for donkeys years so it would be thrown out? Not sure. I do remember someone talking about the diamonds team and saying "it's nearly a full English team, so there should be no riders missing for meetings" The 1 and 5 beg to differ, apparently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,783 Posted May 18, 2017 Surely Worrall is a Belle Vue asset? He would always be racing for the Aces ahead of Newcastle, wouldn't he? Not what I was told. Because Belle Vue were "in limbo" at the start of the season, when the Diamonds signed Stevie, he was an asset of the BSPA and were told that they (Newcastle) would have preference over any team that Stevie signed for in the Premiership. It seems, yet again, that the "goal-posts have been moved." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soupy 556 Posted May 18, 2017 Well that is one less at the turnstiles on Friday and will go to Scunthorpe on the bank holiday Monday instead now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems, yet again, that the "goal-posts have been moved." Well that was crap. Swindon sign BWD very late on as a replacement but still got priority over Peterborough for his services. Why would Newcastle have some special case over Worrall/BV? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bringbackHalifax 238 Posted May 18, 2017 It would seem the control board have overruled the BSPA agreement Just happened to be the day before Newcastle are at Edinburgh Who besides Vatcher is the other promoter on the SCB............ Alex Harkness Just a coincidence 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
