  1. What makes us sound bad is that the SCB sent a local ref to go inspect the track and take photo evidence. If a pipe did burst then surely the ref would have sent so and there would have been no investigation So ask your selves this why is there an investigation after a ref went down to take a look Yep I fully understand that. But maybe time as come to pay the ref on a race night for the full day and not just the evening. But obviously you have to take the refs full time job outside of speedway into consideration. The thing is events like this happen all the time whether other teams fans accept this or not. Something needs to be done and if it has to be us that pays the consequence then so be it. Fingers crossed that ours was a genuine excuse and no action will be taken A belle Vue apology With reference to Belle Vue vs. Poole meeting 29th April 2013, Belle Vue Speedway: An Apology BELLE Vue Speedway Club sincerely apologise to our supporters and staff, Poole supporters, riders, promoters and staff for the cancellation of Monday night’s meeting. The decision to postpone the meeting was the wrong one but was made, for what was believed at the time, for the right reasons. Clearly after further investigation this has proved to be an error of judgement made in the heat of the moment and is regretted. For that we are genuinely sorry. David Gordon, Chief Executive Officer Wednesday 1st May 2013

  13. This taken from speedwaygp.com Former world No.3 Ryan Sullivan has announced his retirement on the eve of the season. The former Australian international made the decision as he continues to struggle with the broken hand, which left him barely able to complete the 2013 season. Sullivan is believed to have been involved in a contract dispute with his Polish club Torun, where he has spent 10 seasons in three separate spells since 1996. The former Peterborough and Poole favourite’s retirement means Torun stars Chris Holder, Tomasz Gollob, Darcy Ward and Adrian Miedzinski will all be guaranteed places in the starting seven this term and won’t have to fight for their places. "After 28 years of being so deeply involved in the sport, it is an extremely difficult decision to walk away from something that has been my life and passion all these years." - Ryan Sullivan In a statement to Torun’s local newspaper, Gazeta Pomorska, Sullivan said: “Due to the significant hand pain from the crash last September which saw me sustain several broken metacarpal bones, I feel there is nothing more I can do but end my career in speedway at this time. “The club was informed at the end of January that I cannot get permission to race from the Australian federation of sports medicine unless my doctor gives me a certificate to continue running, as is the case with every rider applying for a speedway licence. “On March 9, I sent the information to the club that I will not be able to race speedway in the near future because of my injury.” Sullivan denies his retirement was down to a contract row with the club and concerns over planned Ekstraliga rule changes, forcing riders to take out compulsory insurance policies to cover them and their teams in case they are sidelined. He added: “Referring to other press reports about my contract talks with the club, I would like to point out that not made any representation or personally spoken out on this issue. “All information is derived only from one side. I do not agree with the new rules and regulations introduced by the Ekstraliga, but it is now of no great importance. “I am disappointed with the attitude of the club in this situation. One thing is certain, I did not plan this and the circumstances, which led to the current state of affairs, took all my passion for speedway.” Sullivan admits Torun retains a special place in his affections as he plans his new life Down Under. He said: “After 28 years of being so deeply involved in the sport, it is an extremely difficult decision to walk away from something that has been my life and passion all these years. “Torun will always be a special place for me because I lived there a few years and I've got many friends there. My wife and her family are from there, so there is no doubt that we'll be back sometime in the future. Now it's time for new challenges and, with my wonderful family, I will soon move to Australia. “In the course of my career, there are a lot of people to whom I owe very much and saying ‘thank you’ seems to be insufficient. “Jacek Gajewski brought me into Poland in 1996 and since then we have been good friends. Andrzej Gajek was my first sponsor in Poland and helped me in many different ways over the years. “My mechanic Pawel (Runowski) worked for me for 10 years and there is no-one better than him. I would like to thank all the fans in Torun for supporting me in my achievements over 10 years of racing for the team. I also thank the fans of Czestochowa, where I raced for six years.” All the best in your future endeavours Ryan
