What perplexes me most of all are the number of fans who followed the Comets pre 2019 some regularly away from home who have not as yet returned . It maybe just proves that if you get out of the habit a return is even less likely.

The experience plus the 1/2 and 3/4 match ups are in the Pirates favour for sure. I'm hoping we can keep it tighter, we will see. UTC !

suspend him for 2 weeks and deduct 2 months wages.😉

isn't that just pants, efficiency costs nothing just good management and communication.

Wow.

Shocking if true for someone in his position.

Believe he is the daily manager of the SCB.

Its fair to say most members on this forum would like to know which rule was broken and how . Must have been pretty bad for a 2 week suspension and 2 point deduction. Don't think Worky would have any objection to discloure.

Yes.

Sums it up nicely

Quote the regulation you are using please with an explanation as to why/how this speedway regulation was broken.

No it doesn't !. In the interests of SCB credibility and transparency it most definitely should.

Nicolai is still the track record holder I believe, set on 5th September 2014 55.18 secs. 11 years ago and nobody gone faster !.

We will need something extra special. Vinnie will be looking to do well I'm sure, lookout Starke and Cairns 😅

Birmingham withdrew sponsorship of Antti when they released him, however, his visa continued for 60 days . The issue wasn't financial but a failure to submit records. If one riders visa carries on for 60 days with no sponsor then surely the visas of Jacob Hooks and Fraser Bowes would as well. This is why I questioned whether the BSPL have been harsh in suspending the Comets, could the situation have been resolved without the punitive action ?. To deduct them 2 points after the statement just doesn't feel right. Perhaps the BSPL should give us all an explanation .

The people I know are. Glasgow are a respected and well run club in the eyes of not just Worky fans but Speedway fans in general. 👍

The Comets failed to file accounts and it is on them. Assets can potentially transfer to the crown if the process is initiated, I do not believe it was. I believe you are correct re Visas and this is probably what has happened. With re to accounts filed with Companies House; I have looked at some of these since this has happened and have been surprised by the lack of detail. Speedway teams are small companies or micro entities, as such the accounts are in shortened format (Abridged) with little detail and unaudited.

may have trouble finding anything specific in SCB regs re this, queue supplementary.

I would just like to express my thanks to Glasgow Speedway and the Facenna family for their help and advice given to Andrew and Workington Speedway through what has been a very difficult time.

That may be too sensitive now.

Really tough meeting for the Comets, hoping the team can rise to the challenge and sneak a win. This will be a great opportunity for fans to see a young man who seems destined to have a big future . Will Cairns has done many laps of the GT Tyres arena some under the supervision of Greg Hancock. He is going to be a big threat to all of the Comets while the whole Poole team will likely provide the sternest challenge we will have this season. I'm sure the boys will be up for this and they will need to be. Lets get behind them, it should be an absolute cracker. UTC 👊👍

I'm sure the BSPL know, the exciting fixture Saturday against the Pirates is still on the website.

sorry double post

No it isn't. Birmingham cancelled sponsorship when they released him, his visa with Birmingham expired 60 days after.

Why would he do that when he owns them all. Everything you see at the GT Tyres Arena is the result of one mans vision and his own money. The true personal financial cost to himself has to be a multiple of 6 figures as are the number of hours of physical hands on labour he has invested. Many people wonder why in the current speedway climate would anyone do that and that is a very good question. The answer is simple he loves Speedway. He also takes pride in what he does because that is who he is. He may well tell you himself that paperwork is not his forte but he has taken remedial actioned to make sure this shortcoming does not repeat itself.
