But don't forget the happy clappy brigade will have you believe that Coventry, Peterborough, Cradley, Swindon & Wolves are all coming back and that Northampton are going to join them... just as the next club closes.

Nothing too extravagant just a very tidy style on a bike

2 BSPL directors (half), Bates and Ford, although they will have involvement as the BSPL Company seems to own most of BSFL.

Yes and no... Louis and Godfrey are directors of both companies, BSPL also has Damien Bates and Danny Ford... as usual it's a very tangled web speedway has weaved.

Hmm 🤔 But what is the "link" with 'Arry? He's not named on the board of directors. There's 4 directors: Godfrey, who has overseen the decline of British Speedway to it's current state. Louis: A forward thinking promoter and ex rider. Painter: He seems to have done a tremendous job in attracting sponsorship to the GB Speedway team despite that team rarely actually riding in this country. Clayton: No idea 🤷‍♂️ BSPL Ltd are named as a person with significant control: Nature of control Ownership of shares – More than 50% but less than 75% Ownership of voting rights - More than 25% but not more than 50% All of the money put into the company, £32k, seems to have been put in by the BSPL. It very much seems to be a BSPL vehicle and not a great deal to do with 'Arry.

Haha, it's already been done? I should have known 😂

That's not what Pareto's Law suggests 🤔

And a 5's competition (and maybe a 3's and 4's also) ... I've been trying to think what is radical and not radical in normal terms but radical in BSPL terms and I've come up with a "guest" team! Something similar to the Harlem Globe Trotters (remember them?), so a team of riders not affiliated to any of the other 5 clubs that travel around to the other teams as part of the league programme, they did something similar years ago when they went 18 heats with the "ghost" rider. Of course it's completely ludicrous but just the type of thing the brains at BSPL towers are likely to come up with!

And into another one by the looks of it they called another ambulance to take him away... better than a shopping trolley I suppose 🛒

Have the club been concerned enough to release a press update? I'm not sure what you expect the rest of us to do? Ring the hospital?

I wonder if he'll cancel his TNT subscription now they've blown us out?

It's the trophy worth winning the least but somehow feels like the biggest achievement of the domestic season!

You've had that ready to go 😂... very good 😂 Well done!

Brilliant temperament from Scott, he's been the difference tonight and deserved to bring it over the line 👏

"No doubt about that"

Generally it's been diabolical! Danny King had a good race in 8 but 12 was phenomenal!

Great Scott!

Good response from Jody Scott 👏

Nice to see the Poole's "neutral" machine examiner helping Anders Rowe with his machine in the pits 😂

A 5 team league (if that's what you can call it) is very much the business as usual model, which has been proven not to work over the last 30 years. It's not the radical change that has been mooted.

I remember on course betting at Cov and Sheffield... and Bees were sponsored by Victor Chandler for a while and SkyBet were also league sponsors for a short time

Betting was introduced some time back (noughties?) but just seemed to peter out for some reason probably another case of the sports authorities not grasping that particular nettle and working with the betting companies to onboard them as partners?

Hairy?
