Friggers, you should have been at the quiz last night and then you would have learned what a shambles the November BSPA Meeting was. Mike Bowden may as well have described them as milling about like headless chickens, with no agenda and backs of fag packets on which to inscribe the rules (those that were recorded!) Bowden is a clever businessman (although this was not supported by the score his team achieved in the quiz!!!) who appeared to be quite shocked by how decisions were made for this year and may as well have called them unprofessional (as we all know them to be,) there are too many vested interests which come to bear and it sounded like Swindon wanted to, at least, protect the product's quality but were out-voted by other less-succesful promotions. I like this guy but am concerned that he will get fed up with the lack of professionalism in due course.
To quote him from last night, "Yes BWD is fine but do you not think we would have signed him originally if he had been our first choice over MBA?"
What all this wonderful stuff to take British Speedway forward by the BSPA means is that the quality of the product becomes weaker and weaker due to the fact that you cannot blood new foreign talent in the Premiership (sic) due to the arbitrary 7 point rule. I would like there to be places for all Brits and Commonwealth riders in this country first but the reality is that there are some talented European youngsters out there who would grace the League.
