Swindon 2013

No, he doesn't. Don't think the BSPA or Peterborough could do anything if Swindon just sign him without buying him, without risking a court case that they would lose.

Are you suggesting the BSPA ruling should be ignored ? A lawless sport, do what you want, when you want...Thats a wild west attitude.

Well wild west country anyway. Free for all it is then with the bobbins leading the charge - rip up the rule book, scrap the BSPA :shock:

Swindon have built a very strong team but I'm shocked to see that Nick Morris has EIGHT definate fixture clashes plus a possible one more in August.

 

With him only having an 8.00 PL average at present, guests will be vital on trips to Lakeside and Peterborough while home clashes with Birmingham (Doyle missing too), Coventry (Summers missing) and Kings Lynn (Stead missing) shouldn't be so bad.

Can somebody correct me if i am wrong! but surely with Swindon loaning Nick Morris to Somerset! Swindon have first pick of his services?

Scrap the BSPA because Peterborough don't get their way? That the same crap your promotion came out with a couple of years ago when they threatened to quit the league when they couldn't get their own way.

They've played silly buggers, again, and failed, again. They need to grow up if they want to play with the grown-ups. And you need to stop following blindly along behind them like some unthinking lemming.

 

Welcome home, Hans, its great to have you back with us. :)

No, I'm suggesting exactly as the Panthers' promotion did two years ago: if the BSPA makes a decision that you disgaree with you can have it tested in court.

 

If Swindon signed Batch without buying him, submitted him to the BSPA for approval & they refused, they could be subject to court action by Swindon or Batch.

 

If Swindon decide to sign Zagar instead & publicly state that they would have signed Batch if the BSPA hadn't insisted they buy him, then Batch should issue a writ for restraint of trade.

You got that bit well wrong. Peterborough didn't threaten to quit any league, some of the other promoters tried to put them out of business and shut them down and that's entirely different. On this occasion, the MC have backed them and said that Swindon have to buy Batch if they want to use him (just as Peterborough were told, and complied, three or four years ago when they acquired him).

The MC/BSPA have ruled - if you (Swindon) want him, buy him. That's clear, so who's the silly buggers here?

 

The rules of the BSPA are such that if he isn't signed by march 1st then he can be loaned :rolleyes:

 

Against their own ruling that he has to be purchased? Can't see that happening.

 

If it were true, why didn't Peterborough just wait till March 1st when they were told to pay for him (which they did) and just take him on loan?

 

No, I'm suggesting exactly as the Panthers' promotion did two years ago: if the BSPA makes a decision that you disgaree with you can have it tested in court.

The court threat two years ago was over being closed down as a business which is entirely different.

You miss my point. The facts are different but the principle is the same: any club or rider can test BSPA decisions in court.

And risk losing his restraint of trade case on grounds of insanity? :lol:
