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

Fools and their money are soon parted!

I'm in Llandudno this week and have noticed there's an Alice in Wonderland trail around the town. Was the AGM held here in January, if so could explain a lot😄

Small Faces. All or Nothing!

Hopefully not TOO odd🤔😙

Well let's just suppose i had temporarily lost my marbles during the early part of January, and on the basis of BSP Ltd's statement assuring of a minimum 5 team league, had decided to invest a sum of money in BSP Ltd and/or in Speedway Futures (Ltd?). Then, having made my investment, i subsequently began to have serious and well-founded suspicions that at the time of making its public statement, BSP Ltd could not have been certain that a 5-team league would actually be going ahead, i'd have been pretty hopping angry and i'd have been asking urgent questions to BSP Ltd's directors. One key question i'd have asked BSP Ltd's directors, would have been did C.Louis give a legally watertight assurance that, in the event of a sale of Ipswich speedway not being completed by, say, 5th April 2026, he would continue to run the club as an active PL member until such time as the club's sale had been completed. And if the BSP Ltd's directors could not have provided that evidence to satisfy my needs, i'd have been initiating processes to have them suspended and hopefully struck off as Company Directors. Ive no beef or suspicions about Ioswich speedway Ltd or with C.Louis, by the way

So to repeat, this would seem to infer that C.Louis would have continued to operate Ipswich in the PL, in the event of a sale of his business not having been achieved and completed. If that was not the case, surely the BSPL statement would have been misleading, unless C.Louis had given BSPL such a guarantee?

Of course businesses change hands, as an investor i know that. So, are you saying that, if C.Louis had not found a suitable buyer or if any proposed transaction had not been completed before the start of the 2026 season, he would have continued to run Ipswich speedway in the Premier league? Really?

So ISPL "made a commitment" to run, even though its proprietor had apparently said previously that he was walking away from involvement in the sport with immediate effect? And BSPL incorporated that "commitment" into their statement that a minimum 5 team league would happen? Really?

Was it "Ipswich" that made the commitment, as legally at that time, the owner was probably C.Louis who had made his intentions (or rather his non-intentions) very clear. In which case did the BSPL knowingly make that announcement without being on safe and solid ground, taking a risk on the sale proceeding to satisfactory completion and keeping fingers crossed behind their backs?

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation, and it's getting more and more absurd

No i think it was Morrissey

Similar to the frog in a pot of water that's slowly heating up. It becomes comfortable and doesnt notice the progression towards its demise, or it's death when it inevitably happens

Are there different threads? If so you could start one on speedway and thus begin the eventual demise of Curling as a credible sport!

Mark Webber and Jason Crump?
