iannewsman Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Gutted! What meeting has been made to take place on that day then? It is now Stoke v Edinburgh. With Stoke having had so many rain-offs they are struggling to fit all the rearranged fixtures in before the cut-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vog Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 thats just the corruptness of the BSPA obviously see some other meeting they want to line there pockets.no respect at all... According to the promotion at Stoke, it is because we have to fit a league meeting in before the cut off, which with the amount of rain offs we have had, is understandable...so not the BSPA lining their pockets at all!

jim the whipper Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I was looking forward to this until i saw short crap had been added to the line up. Neil Collins definitely deserves a farewell meeting as he has been a great servant to the sport (SPEEDWAY) so who's idea was having the sh*t track cowboys i'll have to sit this one out so they don't think i came to watch them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro rider Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) I was looking forward to this until i saw short crap had been added to the line up. Neil Collins definitely deserves a farewell meeting as he has been a great servant to the sport (SPEEDWAY) so who's idea was having the sh*t track cowboys i'll have to sit this one out so they don't think i came to watch them This is a bit of a harsh comment... It was intended to have the top 10 shorttrackers as a gap filling entertainment (as Neil requested) along with the old boys race and Collin's boys races. At the end of the day everyone who'd be going are going to support Neil, not to support shorttrack and may i add that these guy's are willing to travel and ride for nothing to show their support...

Yes i must admit it was a bit harsh ,After all the short track boys have done so much for speedway in the last couple of years .With all the new venues that they have helped to open and all the practise facilities they have found and shared with us ,I should be thanking them not thinking that they are taking all that they can get from speedway and putting nothing back .
