Take it the BSPA will financially compensate the Berwick promotion and any Berwick or Workington fans who lost money as a result of the very short notice cancellation of the fixture. Thought not.

Looking at Companies House and the London Gazette it seems the company was subject to a mandatory winding up by the Registrar of Companies as they hadn’t filed any accounts since 2022.  The problem when that happens is that all assets of the company - physical assets, bank accounts, anything with a saleable value - is declared by the court to be “Bona Vacantia” I.e. property with no owner. So legal ownership passes to the Crown (or in other words the government). Bank accounts will be closed and any cash transferred to HM Treasury and physical assets seized for auction. Property can be reclaimed by either going to court and having the company reinstated on the register or providing evidence that any assets seized were owned by someone else. 

Definitely think a Saturday Afternoon is not good day to run a meeting.But don’t know the main decision for this .Know the don’t have floodlights. accommodating rider demands is killing the sport fixtures are too sporadic.Fans could probably accept once a Fortnight better.

I don't think most fans realise just how much the riders earn nowadays it's very good money. I've always watched the Comets but used to enjoy it more when there was a meeting every week so it was much more expensive to watch then but you knew you had a meeting every week. The way the fixtures are now you have no idea if there at home or not you have to check. I miss quite a few Saturday meetings now if I'm at work due to the 3pm start I've never liked or understood that decision to ride on a Saturday afternoon. At the start and end of the season they are up against football then during summer so many events are on a Saturday plus people working. Workington apparently helped out stepping up to CL but I think another year or two at NL could have been better to build white it was cheaper to attend.

There is a lot of sense in this. Worky crowds are down so far this season and there have been internal discussions re the need to do something to attract more people.  Our first priority should definitely be to find out why we are losing fans we had. There have been a series of variables this season which have had a deleterious effect on early attendances eg relatively late start, lack of fixture continuity, rain offs, unbalanced team strength and poor early form. We have had home fixtures against two clubs Scunny and Plymouth which historically attract less fans than other fixtures while the Edinburgh KO Cup return leg was a dead rubber following a disastrous score in the 1st leg as was pretty much the Redcar BSN meeting because we couldn't qualify. Like has been stated it is easy for certain fans to get out of the habit of attending.  Finding out why they are falling out with it, while rigorously self critiquing your own product in terms of entertainment and enjoyability has to be a top priority. 

This is imo the actual problem with British domestic speedway, the team concept only really exists in the name not in the practice and therefor the team fan can’t relate to their team and so has no emotional attachment and so doesn’t feel the need to support it, when riding I always felt different to other riders, I really brought into the team I rode for, when I rode for Berwick I felt like they were my fans and I was their rider, it felt like home and when I left I was genuinely upset and I still have good friends there today, i didnt live there but stayed with the Meldrums quite a lot and was often on the beach or in the town at weekends but I knew other riders didnt feel the same and were there for the money and it was the same at other teams, one conversation I always remember was with Barry Evans, I was at lakeside for a meeting and leaning over the fence before the meeting talking about the GP that week, and he said I don’t know why you watch the GPs or any speedway really on tv it’s boring I only do it cause I get paid to do it and I can remember thinking I wonder how the crowd would feel if they knew that ? Perhaps subconsciously they did feel it,As a fan I felt like the emotional attachment to teams ended around the mid 90s, there was always a surge of emotion around the play offs but in general it’s not like it used to be or should be for a team event, how do we get it back or can we get it back ? That’s the question
