magnus Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 What's the date for the 2015 general meeting? What's your views guys on how we could improve British Speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gemini Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) By the lack of response I think you'll gather most of us have given up trying to suggest things to improve speedway. Since 2010 every season has been worse than the one before - riders missing supposedly injured or ill although still riding everywhere but the U.K., lack of continuity, guests, no matches in the height of Summer then trying to cram everything in during the middle/end of October, badly prepared tracks, riders returning to the pits after a false start, races taking forever to start due to all the gardening and messing about. There's my reply and I fully expect season 2015 to be pretty much the same as this one - crap. Edited October 19, 2014 by Gemini 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Have to agree Gemini. The great thing we do here is discuss things that may, or may not happen ... at great length. And I love doing that  But when it comes to the BSPA AGM, it is utterly pointless. They will decide what they want. Or not.  Any views we may have are of no interest whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post THE DEAN MACHINE Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) I have been to one . Imagine all the great minds of the world sat in a room ,then think of the exact opposite ,throw in a gabel and a points limit and there you have it. Seriously it needs an independant body to run speedway and the bspa to run their teams within the rules set by the body Edited October 19, 2014 by THE DEAN MACHINE 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikebv Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Read somewhere 16th - 18th November I believe that at least 12 promoters cannot make those dates so the BSPA have drafted some guest promoters in for 10 of them and 'Promoter replacement' is being used for the other two.....

Interesting someone else states post 2010 as the start of a big decline in British speedway .Coincidental that was when new silencers were introduced ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellers101 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Totally fed up of guests and doubling up and down riders. Love the basics of the sport but dont go anymore due to the farcical rules. Prefer to just watch the GPs, a real competition on TV. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't thinking of silencers. You've got a point though which is probably correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant post mike, Â In order to save costs of this meeting a few promoters are going to double up or treble down. Â An email was sent the bspa announcing that at long last he has come up with a major sponsor for speedway. What they were not told was that the sponsor is only paying for the drinks at the agm.

Blackadder Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I was talking to a Promoter a couple of years ago about BSPA meetings. He smiled at my concerns, and used the term 'bear pit' in his response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well its their business,s that stand to go down the pan and with the gaps on the terraces becoming more and more each season surely even the goons at the BSPA can see the need for a radical change to breathe life back into the misnamed EL? If not the sport at the top level is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliss44 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think it would be handy if they kept stadiums open in 2015 -- it would be a start xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a SUPERB Post. Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Â Totally fed up of guests and doubling up and down riders. Love the basics of the sport but dont go anymore due to the farcical rules.

Things must be bad if you have given it up as a bad job Bellers101 - join the Club. :sad: Edited October 22, 2014 by The White Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 It would be a good idea to have at least 2 supporters to go from each club to put in thier points of view and also to be able to veto some of the stuppid ideas that they always seem to come up with each year. The imput of those supporters would make on big difference to the way speedway is run in this country. Though I am sure the powers that be that sit on the BPSA board of idiots would some make sure that they where all show out of the room even before the meeting started. They only changes they want, is the changes they make, no matter how damaging it is to our beloved sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
