SCB Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 So fans are heartily hissed off with double up/down clashes. The BSPA have finally realised this so are trying to stop a bad situation getting worse. So issue a press release that details the REAL reason.'Craig would miss 3 Peterborough home meetings plus 5 away meetings and that is a situation we couldn't allow to happen. He is welcome to ride in the Premier league but it's the BSPA's responsibility to deal with issues that have angered supporters'. Easy isn't it, full and transparent explanation, no BS, no hiding behind false reasons, job done. Some folks may not agree with them but there you go. What is their problem? Exactly that! Not some bullrubbish about race nights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigbo Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 most sportsmen need to earn money, but will never be convinced by d/u, detest its introduction to a "team sport" Couldn't agree more. It's ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Came onto this threading thinking just how stupid it is for Cook to be riding in the PL, considering he is an EL heat leader. In no way should he be dropping down. Now reading a few pages in, common sense has been used by the MC to block the move. It has upset the Peterborough promotion but tough. An EL heat leader should be nowhere near a PL team berth. Easy pickings and to make easy money. That's all this was. Cook hasnt yet been picked to ride for his Polish club. They would never give him a berth if they see is after easy money. BSPA MC are bang on the money with stopping the move IMO. He's an EL heatleader. EL heatleaders do not belong in the lower league. Absolutely agree. No place for Cook in the PL. can't see why some are moaning at the MC who have made the right call IMO.

Star Lady Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Steve if you think it's easy money in the PL I suggest you take a listen to the Home Straight podcast and hear what Olly Allen and Simon Stead said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy money for EL heat leafers. Or should be. They should average over ten. I believe that any EL heat leader should be nowhere near the PL. However now the MC have given their clear reason it shows that the reason was clash of racenight and nothing more than that. A lot on here should be apologising the the MC for thier wayward remarks.

Excellent point, money obviously much harder to earn in the lowest league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 As I said listen to what riders say not what any fan thinks or believes. We don't need to listen to what they say... Did Simon Stead and Olly Allen score more pts in the EL or PL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyfan Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Danny King ? EL Heat leader. Josh Grajczonek is an EL Heat leader too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I commented earlier that it was stupid that Cook's move to Peterborough had been blocked - I didn't realise that both BV and Peterborough race on a Friday night! So it isn't as stupid as I initially thought and I was wrong! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point, money obviously much harder to earn in the lowest league. Spoke to Adam about this exact point on Wednesday. The NL is Good for testing setups and new gear. Not bothered about PL as has more than enough racing with Poole, Eastbourne plus continental bookings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you and the BSPA think that's acceptable just about sums up the sport in this country 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Which EL and /or PL team did you ride for then as you obviously know more than Allen and Stead What a ridiculous comment. It is harder to score pts as an Elite League heat leader than as a Premier League. It doesn't matter what Oliver Allen or Simon Stead have to say about it. Both of them found it far, far easier to score pts in the Premier League than the Elite League. The only caveat to that would be riding as a second string in the current Elite League format... but that doesn't last for long if you score well.

Countershaftcounter Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 So he is stopping a youngster from progressing into NL to do some testing. The fact you and the BSPA think that's acceptable just about sums up the sport in this country The fact that he's replacing one of two injured riders for Eastbourne, and today Mildenhall are appealing for riders as they've also ben hit by injuries. Where are all these youngsters that he's allegedly blocking ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
