Adder Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 If they are going to take this to court they might want to sort their maths out!!! "The Stars were deemed to have used Kozza Smith illegally for the home fixture with Peterborough on July 24. The points that Smith scored (13+1) in the 47-43 victory were deducted from the meeting total which has resulted in a 43-43 defeat, and the two league points removed from the Stars league tally."

foreverblue Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Can't think it will make much difference, play offs are going to be a struggle even without the points deduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 So to confirm. Coventry and Peterborough wanted someone independent to run the sport. Lynn jumped into the EL with a backhander from the other clubs. Lynn have been screwed over by the same people that screwed over Coventry and Peterborough. Oh dear, What a pity. Never mind. You made your bed Chapman, now lie in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems that a few posters are intent on doing so but not presenting a true picture. The reality is that the then Coventry promotion and Peterborough couldn't get their own way and instead of accepting the democratic decisions of the BSPA, tried to get what they wanted by using their financial muscle to threaten legal action which could have closed down the sport. When the BSPA stood up to them they then introduced the idea of an independent body to their argument. I happen to agree that we need an independent body to oversee the implementation of the rules and said so at the time but let's not try to re-write history by pretending that Coventry and Peterborough were the good guys. They were doing what many others have done before and since by trying to look after their own self interests but the way they went about it was wrong. The BSPA do much that is wrong but in this instance they did exactly the right thing by not giving in to these threats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford got together with his pals to change the rules so cov could not have the team they wanted as has was bitter by the play off defeat the year before and went out to try to destroy them . Of course when they walked out kl who had no interest in being in the el were given cov and boro's sky money as a backhanded to join . The reason a independent body was called for after was because this had shown that the bspa were corrupt . Of course since kl got there blood money and Belle vue there bricks Ford and co has pissed on both of them . 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion has summed it up perfectly, it's no wonder people still bring it up as it's tarnished the sport ever since (as it would do when the ideas of fair-play and a level playing field for all are thrown out of the window), and it reduced my respect to Ford to absolutely zero, where it will stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
