Brian retired early as he I believe lost a bit of interest as he also had by that time a car business which was doing well. Although he subsequently rode for Southampton he was later to claim that his interest began to wane when Wembley closed.

Brian Crutcher was on a par with the above

I remember the late Tony Clarke interviewed during a meeting at Wembley saying he had only just built the bike that afternoon . It was the norm to take off the front wheel and have the rest of the bike sticking out of the boot . During his brief time at Wembley Steve Bast did not have his own equipment and rode the track spare supplied by the supporters club.

Can we expect the recent Scunthorpe line up for this fixture IE 3 guests and r/r

Clearly up to you but looks to me that Panthers have done all they could do to ameliorate a situation that we could all have done without

Most would like an explanation but somehow I don't think we will get one.

Most sensible solution I have heard so far

A worrying situation. If England reach the final I see financial meltdown with huge knock on consequences!!!

So would I. That whole weekend has all the ingerdients to fear a financial disaster

Thought the original statement said it was SCB who pulled the plug.

I have serious doubts now as to whether Speedway will be able to see out the rest of the season

Thought Capital Punishment was no longer legal

the cynical may say very Hortonesque

Regretfully this is the truth of the matter.

Neither do I

I see your point but in my experience in any organisation , committee etc there is normally one or two persons who are more dominant than the rest who tend to get their way

Another milestone in the glorious tenure of Mr Chapman in his capacity as Boss of Bosses.

Many Dinosaurs will regard your post as grossly offensive as they regard themselves as a lot more forward thinking than BSPA

As I think Philip Rising says in an earlier post , there is no reason whatsoever that the BSPA can't at least acknowledge that there is a problem , rather than from fans perspective ignore it totally.

Did Buster remember to bring his ticket this year? Or was there more disruption at the gate.

Sure Buster and Godfrey are already on the case

.Great result from Panthers, suspect Mafia not best pleased.

Understand Somerset have cancelled their home fixture against Rye House next week.

This issue is small beer in view of present tribulations re Rye House and I am sure Panthers management have very valid reasons, but bearing in mind the wider speculation this has caused it is in my view entirely unacceptable that managements stance is that hope it just all goes away and we all bring flasks and sandwiches in future just in case. I believe that management were aware from early on that there would be no catering facilities on that day
