Should the Directors of BSP Ltd (apart from Lemon and Lyon) resign?

If there were enough shareholders, there'd be open revolt going on by now, an EGM would have been called and they'd have been kicked out.

Stewart Dickson apparently called for an EGM back in something like June last year because he could see problems looming up, but apparently his calls were ignored.

Since then C.Louis has of course walked away but others remain in position

Good question, should they? Probably.. it’s a boys club as we all know. The same on point messaging/club statements, albeit now with a few closer to home dissenting voices.

A bit harsh....

He was only one month out....

Not a bad effort really when it comes to the history of Speedway promoting in the UK.....:D

You’d have thought as CEO he’d have people that send out emails on his behalf, good spot and quick correction by him if this is the case. 

It could though, as BSF imply that he does everything himself. It would explain the lack of urinal cakes in the bogs and the cherry Bakewell he made for the play off semi being a bit dry.

At the time Dickson would have asked for an EGM, the Directors were messrs Godfrey (Chair), Bates, D. Ford and Louis.

Ford resigned on 6/1/26. Louis resigned on 18/11/25.

When the post-AGM statement was made, the Directors would have been messrs Godfrey (Chair), Bates, Campbell, Lemon and Lyon. The latter three were appointed on 9/1/26.

BSPLtd has no shareholders, but i'm guessing it has "members" who can presumably vote, but how much clout do they have in reality - maybe in practice some more than others?

I think that’s a fair and reasoned outlook. 👍🏻

A great song... along with another classic of theirs... "Everlasting Love"

They don't make 'em like that anymore... and haven't for a long long time...!

Years ago, I met James Hanlon, a member of Love Affair ... he told me that none of the group actually performed in the record!

We must be due to hear something soon Flagrag is normally in the know and mentioned deep pocketed owners with big sponsorship lined up lets hope there is some positive news soon.

Have they got short arms as well as deep pockets though?
