"If its Curtis Sports that do the programme, you'll find they have up to the same day to print it so it's as up to date as possible. They do the same at Birmingham." The SCB said they were informed at mid day on the 26th, with a certificate produced around 1pm. At the very best, the time they had to print the programs with Harris in was, as tight as a Nuns undercrackers. I've not seen this seasons Wolves prog but Curtis Sport haven't been the printers previously Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted June 27, 2023 So we have a certificate, a SCB statement and a pre printed programme by a promoter with a high ranking position. Surely the one to chase here is the promoter with a pre printed programme. Answers need to come from that source even if it means dragging other parties into the mix. The SCB should call that promoter forward for an explanation as well. But, in the best interests of the sport ……. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you (not you literally) going to accuse a medical professional of faking a certificate and all that entails! Dont know what its like in Poland medical wise but these days in the Uk you can get meds such as antibiotics prescribed by a GP without them seeing or examining you they just speak over the phone and ask you as the patient what you want them to do . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Bee 64 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) You can just see them sitting around this morning discussing what the next lie would be. "Go with Food Poisoning. We can make that work. Give the Russian with a Polish Passport a seven day ban as well, that wont affect Lynn as they have no meetings and shows the punters that we are doing something". I said last week he wouldn't be at Wolves after his crash at Lynn. You can predict British Speedway so easily. Why anyone still bothers spending their money going to watch it in the UK is beyond me. Evidently at Peterborough last night very few people did give them any money. I watched it with my wife last night on the TV, she's relatively new to the sport. Admittedly I have introduced her to Polish Speedway and the GP's first, but she said how depressing it was in the UK in comparison. She watched it last night because she likes Bewley, I prefer to watch the "Low Lights" package afterwards. Her words last night when I try and explain British Speedway were "they just make it up here as they go along". And this SCB statement just about sums that up. As I tell my staff at work, never try and pull the wool over the customers eyes, always be honest with them, they'll see right through it. British Speedway has been doing that for years now, they take us for mugs. Its on the scrapheap and needs re-building.....

Unfortunately though, we still attend in spite of the way it is ran, not because of the way it is ran... Which is a fraught place to be for your business if your customers view what you offer up in that way.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bringbackHalifax 238 Posted June 27, 2023 If the SCB information is correct and was known at lunchtime yesterday, why was the official reason not given out until today. According to the press release the “true facts” were known. Who picked up the cost of his cancelled flight ? The real issue here is if he misses one more meeting this year whilst riding elsewhere the SCB, BSPL and Captain transparent Phil are goosed. The independent ruler that every one wanted in speedway cannot exist in current form. if emperor Phil with no financial input makes the right call on clubs mis behaving, it will lead to club closing down, or in west Scotland throwing toys out of their pram, which could mean closing down or selling. So his hands are tied. Buster and Godfrey have been the worse possible leaders of the sport and everyone is now suffering. Put the fans first with every decision would be a good start, but I believe it’s too late now. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
