The Voice Of Reason Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 As I mentioned in a thread a couple of weeks back. Whatever happened to Coventry's appeal to the Speedway Control Bureau following the outcome of their statement on 16th July? The SCB seemed relatively quick (by their standards) dealing with the intitial fines; but what happened to Cov's subsequent appeal that they stated they'd make? And also, what happened to Coventry Promotion's complaint about Sky and Go Speed's decision to run the meeting in the first instance? Are we to assume that The Chuckle Brothers now have no case to answer; despite Mick Horton apparently having sufficient evidence to the contrary? Just to add that I fully supported Cov over this debacle but something doesn't seem to sit right here. Maybe, the 3 grand fine handed out to the club (not the riders) would be 'dropped on appeal' if Cov agreed to keep schtum and not drag Wide Boy and The Fat Controller's names through the mud (despite the fact they are happy for riders to race in it). So there you go folks. I may well have missed the news - it's difficult to get motivated with this sport as much as I used to. However, it would be nice to learn of the outcome...........if anyone is aware? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solrac Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Never thought they had much appeal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 They only raised £7 from their appeal to the fans so it's been swept under the carpet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathen chemistry Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 not surprised its all gone quiet, it normally does remember the kildemand affair ,that was also swept under carpet it was as if the scb didnt want to make a decision for fear of something...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) We had every right to appeal. Once the meeting coordinator said after heat 9 an inspection will take place Bees riders had every right not to go out for heat 10 until that was conducted. Its basic health and safety. It never happened therefore the club were right not to risk riders when a safety inspection wasn't carried out as promised.

full-throttle Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) now POOle have finished top the appeal will be successful. If however POOle knock the Bees out of the play off's, the SCB will charge the Bees for not having toilet paper in cubicle 2 on the back straight Edited September 9, 2015 by full-throttle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob VDS Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Remind me what was the aim of this appeal again? To not have to pay the fines? Oh and really? POOle? Fat Controller? All a bit childish don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just to be correct - the appeal was to the ACU. The SCB made their decision and imposed the punishment for breaking the rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 No doubt it's already been thrown out, as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Fat Controller? All a bit childish don't you think? Not really.. Personally, I'd prefer to be deemed childish than a liar; whilst also putting riders lives at risk purely for the sake of financial profit.

CB252 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Given that Holder nearly ploughed into Watt in the farcical Heat 10, I wonder if they would still take to the track in similar circumstances today given recent events? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland Red Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 SCB STATEMENT - BEES V POOLE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 2015 BELOW is an SCB statement regarding the abandoned Coventry v Poole fixture and subsequent hearing and ACU appeal. Further to the Press Release issued on 16th July 2015 the SCB wish to advise the following. The Coventry Promotion, as was their right lodged an Appeal to the Auto-Cycle Union. Whilst preparing for the Appeal Hearing, the SCB realised that at the SCB Court’s Disciplinary Hearing, a flaw was spotted concerning the composition of the SCB Court in that it did not fully comply with the 2015 Speedway Regulations. Following internal discussions the SCB agreed with the ACU, that the Appeal Hearing should not take place and that the Appeal Fee paid by Coventry should be returned. Regarding the £3000 fine imposed by the SCB Court, at the Hearing held on Thursday 9th July should be quashed, although the fines imposed by the Meeting Referee would stand as these had been correctly imposed; the Court had merely endorsed their agreement of the Meeting Referee’s actions.

TonyE Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 That is a very convenient way of not having to deal with the 'track inspection' that never happened prior to the running of Heat 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
