  1. Hi Phil

    when do the BSPA/SCB step in and close a club over un paid debts, I,m sure there are, have been many clubs who are in debt or have not paid riders?

    I find it strange the promoters agreed to the fixture list at the start of the season with so many large gaps between meetings (financial suicide), then the fixtures were changed again half way through the season.

    At Workington its not weekly Speedway, its every four to five weeks.:rolleyes:

    Is it any wonder fans are disillusioned by the sport, never mind the poor promotion, long drawn out meetings (this is much better now) and amateur way of running things.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Paul Robinson. 

  2. A honest and hard hitting account of the state of British Speedway in the Star this week, will the BSPA listen and act. Will some person or group be enlisted to make concrete decisions for the future of the sport as highlighted in the Speedway Star item, my personal opinion no.
  3. Do you mean Workington, I admire most of what Glasgow have achieved and make many trips up to Glasgow, great set up and good fans, sad to see they are starting to struggle to attract as many fans as needed. Glasgow and Belle vue is what most clubs should be striving for but unfortunately the money is not around to facilitate many clubs.....what"s the answer , who knows.
  4. Accordingly, each season the SCB produces a Rule Book entitled The Speedway Regulations, that covers all the rules applicable to the sport in Great Britain. It is available in booklet form at a small cost from the SCB Office or as a fre download from the SCB Website www.scbgb.co.ukFinanced entirely by fees generated through the issue of Track Licences, Rider Registrations and Officials Licences the SCB seeks to act as the independent body to ensure that the BSPA, Member’s Tracks, Riders and Officials all act within the Rules and Regulations of the SCB and most importantly within the best interest of Speedway motorcycle racing.The SCB is managed on a day to day basis by the SCB Co-ordinator (Neil Vatcher: neil@scbgb.co.uk) and an Administrator (Nikki Jameison: info@scbgb.co.uk). They are augmented in specialist areas by Track Inspectors (Alan Bridgett: alan@scbgb.co.uk & Mick Bates: mick@scbgb.co.uk) and a Technical Advisor (Jim McMillan: jim@scbgb.co.uk).Further specialist advice concerning Medical and Environmental matters are obtained via the ACU Committees; Environmental Advisor (Peter Gregory: pgregory@ntlworld.com), Medical Panel Secretary (Debbie Walmsley: dg@acu.org.uk)The Bureau consists of 4 nominated Members, two representing the ACU are Tony Steele and Graham Reeve (ACU Members) whilst Alex Harkess (BSPA President) and Gordon Pairman (BSPA Promoter) represent the British Speedway Promoters Association under the independent Chairmanship of Tony Gillias (a former Rider with Coventry & Scunthorpe).
  5. We could possibly be champions if we manage to race our remaining home meetings
  6. I think you should change the title of the thread to Ipswich v Workington
  7. Financial problems were highlighted a few weeks ago in the Speedway Star.
  8. According to the updates its Josh Embelton for Mason Campton and r/r for Ty Proctor.
  9. Aggravated his wrist injury in a crash last night but carried on racing.
  10. Workington fractured fixture list goes from bad to worse, the BSPA management committee need to be strong in their decision making regarding clubs priorities.
  11. Exactly , especially if the country has a very wet August.
  12. Workington next home meeting is on the 28th of July.......maybe.
  13. So the Tigers are up against a strong Lakeside outfit featuring former Tigers Nick Morris and Son of god Richard Lawson, the Glasgow Tigers will have ben Barker as guest for Claus Vissing and maybe R/R for the injured Lewis Kerr? My prediction 48-42!
  14. What about the Russia v Croatia, Emil and Artem will want to watch that!!
  15. Been very busy over the last few days, if the promoters can’t see what’s coming they must be very blinkered. oh the next club to go.....we all know that one.
