Someone is seeing the light. Depends what new rules they come out with really. It's all very well suggesting tearing up the rule book but they need a viable alternative first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 As I recall the promoters rebelled when Speedway was run by the old SCB, as it was run impartially but the decisions did not suit the promoters. Now we just have an unholy mess run by a bunch who run the sport packed with petty squabbles and self interest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I bet when they re-write it it will have to have many of the same rules to stop rules being bent to suit .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I bet when they re-write it it will have to have many of the same rules to stop rules being bent to suit .... If the rules were not so complicated there would be far less potential for them to be bent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poorly written more so. Edited May 26, 2016 by BWitcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'd say that makes them complicated...... Full Definition of complicated 1: consisting of parts intricately combined <a complicated recipe> 2: difficult to analyze, understand, or explain <a complicated issue http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 They're hardly complicated. Poorly written more so. Not complicated, Are you serious, Perhaps you would like to explain how so many Promoters, team managers and even referees get it wrong on a weekly basis. It's a complete crock of s--t.

Popular Post Grand Central Posted May 26, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) ENCOURAGING comments by BSPA Chairman Buster Chapman in this week's Speedway Star about basically tearing up the rulebook and starting again. Someone is seeing the light.Far from encouraging, I found it depressing and really rather embarrassing. The titular head of the sport in this country openly admits to the grotesque failings of the organisation he has been a member of for almost 20 years. And can offer no solution whatsoever. The best he can come up with is that the referees have to sort it out for him. As if it a proven fact that, as a group, they represent the intelligencia of modern Speedway! Really? The entire article revolves around a lament that neither he nor any other member of the association had the brainpower to foresee the bizarre nature of their plans for team formation and how they would develop. Thick as mince. Edited May 26, 2016 by Grand Central 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 ENCOURAGING comments by BSPA Chairman Buster Chapman in this week's Speedway Star about basically tearing up the rulebook and starting again. Someone is seeing the light. It's good they are going to review it, but I don't think that's the problem. It's the lack of top name riders and the lack of a real 'elite' league. Other than going one race night a week (or a squad system) I don't see how that can be fixed, having a new rule book is unlikely to help.

Other than going one race night a week (or a squad system) I don't see how that can be fixed, having a new rule book is unlikely to help. Getting the big names is not the be all & end all of fixing British Speedway. The big names are completely irrelevant. British Speedway needs to create it's own big names and we could be heading in the right direction with that already. Some great promise coming through, Robert Lambert, Dan Bewley & Jack Parkinson-Blackburn to name 3 The issue is and has always been the organisation of the BSPA in helping these kids out. The rules is absolutely the right place to start to fix all evils, then hopefully things move in the right direction from there on in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope that Mr. Chapman is at least considering it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Mr Chapman does not like double points if that's any comfort to you Thank you very much for that Danny. If he get's rid of that stupid Rule - I will return to Newcastle Speedway like a shot. As long as the Rule is in place - I will not. I am now hopeful................. I await developments with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Speedway rules are not complicated. Try looking at some other sports and comparing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
