Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 15, 2018 Thought I would start this thread to discuss the main points of the AGM, not sure of the exact date but normally around mid-November. I’m hearing 2 clubs will be coming up from the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanAndersen 822 Posted October 15, 2018 Time to combine the 'Premiership' and 'Championship'. Never has the quality between the leagues been closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the Redcar report in last week's Speedway Star it said the AGM was 'in Chepstow in early November'!! So I would guess 9th-11th November? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 16, 2018 The AGM should have already taken place. November is far too late. Mid July would be far better as teams can then plan in advance and riders/fans will know what the ream is/rules are well in advance. If any issues come up they can ve sorted well before the season starts. With BT Sports very happy with speedway as a product the BSPA need to get some money for their product. £13,000 a year per club is an insult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moxey63 1,785 Posted October 16, 2018 Here's some old news from this time in 1987: Mildenhall Chairman Bob Steward has accused fellow NL promoters of holding back the sport and failing to sell it to sponsors, the public and the media. He describes how, after months of crying poverty and appealing for money to keep their respective tracks in business, the National League decides to hold its annual conference in the Canary Islands for a week, with the outcome that everyone patted each other on the back for their efforts. Steward believes the sport should be looking for a Barry Hearn-type character to sell speedway. It could so easily be today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted October 16, 2018 The promoters will never relinquish their power to an outside agency. They would rather let the sport die, than give up their little empire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
