Danish Grand Prix - Vojens - 16th Sep
chunky replied to JanAndersen's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I get what you're saying, but the problem is the fact that sport is "ruled" by money these days. It's easy to say that it was a minor offence, or a technicality, but that is not the way that governing bodies look at things now; it's all financial, and about control. Teams and organisations are now producing contracts that are affecting their lives away from the sport (including social media), where they can go and what they can do/say, and rights to images and names. Competitors are getting much harder punishments for breaking these rules. -

I took it with an old manual Olympus OM-10. God, I loved that camera...

You mean the one that's about a foot away from me? British Speedway Leagues 1946-1964.

A bonus point if you know who took that photo?

As I said, it's the same in most sports today. In darts, for example, the players must agree to ALL the terms of the contracts, INCLUDING DISPLAYING THE MAIN SPONSOR(S) LOGOS. If not, they don't play. Like it or not, that's the way sports and sports contracts are these days. It was mentioned earlier how Zmarzlik was recently threatened with a fine for not standing in the correct position. It's the same with darts, and players can be fined for walking back from the board on the wrong side. Yes, ALL players are made aware of this stuff, so you can be sure that ALL GP riders know what they need to do. -

Like what Kelvin just said... I was thinking that instead of SGP, this should be renamed "Last Man Standing"... -
