Stevel Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 The BSPA and Coventry and Peterborough are delighted to announce that both teams will return to the Elite League in 2011. Coventry and Peterborough accept that things said in the heat of the moment could have been avoided. For the sake of British Speedway and more importantly its fans we are all committed to moving on and working together for the future.’ Allen Trump accepts that he said things in the heat of the moment which could have been avoided in relation to the BSPA and certain named individual members. Taken from the BSPA web site OMG who wrote that? It would have had 10 times the impact if it would have ended after the first full stop. Anyway I'm pleased that both teams are now officially back in the league which is far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Does that mean we can have Birmingham and Kings Lynn back in the Premier please Birmingham swapped places with Ipswich so that was nothing to do with the Coventry & Peterborough fiasco. I assume it was meant in fun but it's not the first time that false assumption's been made and it's so easy for this kind of thing to become a 'BSF fact' based entirely on repetition. Anyway, it's all quite irrelevant now, as is the wording of the statement. Two sets of supporters can get on and enjoy their season - anything else takes a remote second place in the overall scheme of things. Rob McCaffery.

IC Lions Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) The glaring omission from the statement is: "We recognise that we have all behaved like children, we sincerely apologise to all fans for the unnecessary anxiety that we have caused them & we pray that Poole don't get humiliated again." Never going to happen in modern day sport, but would be nice if someone did acknowledge the people that really matter i.e. the fans, but I answered my own question in the first sentance. So glad that this is all behind us, Speedway needs Coventry & Peterborough, and whilst I understand why the Leicester promotion picked Sheffield for the opener - you & I know, it should have been Cov last Saturday. Until we meet again Cheers Ian Edited April 8, 2011 by IC Lions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well, he's apologised and gained nowt. Pity any of it had to happen. Pleased he has been man enough to apologise, and allowed both Peterbrough anmd Coventry back into the new 10 team league which is great news for speedway. Matters will still simmer for a little while, as relations have been sorely stretched these last few months. Genuinely felt sorry for both sets of fans, who generally have been blameless in this sad saga. Onwards and upwards now, and time to start taking more interest in speedway on the track.
