Absolutely nothing regarding a short medium or long term plan. Just another sticking plaster on a gaping wound.
the good ship speedway titanic is on its way to the sea bed while captain Godfrey has his fingers in his ears while ordering master bates to rearrange the deck chairs.
What are people’s thoughts on Rob Godfreys tenure leading the BSPL ?
is he the right person to lead the sport out of its current top flight mess and if not who would you like to see as a replacement ?
my personal opinion is we need a change and my shortlist would be Phil Morris Matt ford or Peter facenna.
And even a huge influx of cash will only delay the inevitable.
we need a independent body with a long term plan. Two divisions of similar size with promotion and relegation.
two of British speedways successes are Team GB and BSN. Both nothing to do with current promotions.
Another view is he could have continued and lost enough money to not be able to continue in 27.
maybe the bombshell has just been dropped 12 months early. The end result is still the same.
Would YOU be prepared to underwrite any losses that Ipswich speedway incurs next season. ? We already know that £60k needs to be found to replace the tv money. A new air fence also needs purchasing too.
less fixtures with a much weaker product and more repetition is going to lessen income too.
oh yes I’d definitely risk my house for it.
Exactly. The whole package is worth much more than a big points deal
what is interesting though and has seemed to be the case for 30 years or so is that Poole sponsors are loyal to the team rather than the rider.
so when a Poole rider moves on the sponsorship goes and is given instead to a incoming rider.
most riders tend to keep sponsors going forward despite changing clubs.
