Phil The Ace Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Natalie Quirk's hosting. You been sacked already haha Natalie is hosting it, but she'll just be introducing it and firing the questions I guess? I am trying to discover who'll be answering them and in what capacity they will be there. I've heard the management will be there. So southwell, rice and lemon. And a couple of riders potentially. But we will have to wait and see on that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Then he shouldn't make idle threats. THEY weren't idle. It's not always advantageous to wash one's dirty linen in public. And the public don't have a divine right to know everything. GP has decided that discretion is the better choice when looking at the bigger picture and I for one applaud him for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) YES, when the dust has settled on the new promotion. Some of the remarks on here about 'investigative' journalism make me laugh. We are not the police or even a national newspaper with the money, time and experienced guys in that field. It is hard enough producing a 48 page mag every week on limited resources. If people don't want to talk or limit what they say that is their prerogative. Gordon Pairman declined to embellish his original statement but there was hardly any need. MCC wouldn't comment. The SCB would only confirm that BV's licence was annulled to protect the speedway assets (riders) of the club from the hands of administrators should they be called in. I never said this was the end of the story and more will come out at a future date but nothing will be gained at this stage and until the future of speedway at the NSS is cut and dried. WOULD concur with that. If investigative journalism is printing one persons version of events and not challenging it when it contradicts a different version of the same event that is out in the public domain then you nailed it, Lets hail the free press who investigates a story without asking a question ? # toothless Edited February 23, 2017 by New Science 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Have to ask, but does anybody know of a team in any division that has been given this long to be in any League of any kind? 2011 - Peterborough and Coventry were admitted to the Elite League after a meeting on March 10. which was subsequently ratified and officially announced on March 15 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the public don't have a divine right to know everything. GP has decided that discretion is the better choice when looking at the bigger picture and I for one applaud him for that. I can't deny any of that. But what we had was a very relevant party saying on a very public forum to a lot of very interested people that he would make clear his views on a very emotive subject. If there was the slightest trace of doubt that he would do so he shouldn't have said so in the first place and it just gives further credence to the belief that criticism of the bspa by one of its members will not be tolerated.

WestGorton1884 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Have to ask, but does anybody know of a team in any division that has been given this long to be in any League of any kind? I do not know of one and would have thought that the BSPA would have changed the League license to an OPEN LICENCE for common sense, financial & face saving! I have lost the will to live on this debacle weeks ago. Feel free to discuss my post, but I would NOT allow any BV team into any league 'til 2018 at the earliest after proving themselves like others have done in the past. So you would be willing to deprive BV fans , probably the only innocent party in all of this , speedway in 2017 and make one of the best race tracks in England redundant for 12 months , just because it's taking longer than expected to finalise the takeover ?

Maybe after being out of the country for a month and 'sleeping on the situation' as well as taking into account GP's position on the Speedway Control Bureau, he's decided not to make further comment?! His prerogative I would have thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Does anyone know what Buster did with the bond and Aces cut of the Sky money as it didn't go to the riders? GTR, polydactyly op or clothes pegs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Maybe after being out of the country for a month and 'sleeping on the situation' as well as taking into account GP's position on the Speedway Control Bureau, he's decided not to make further comment?! His prerogative I would have thought! Entirely his prerogative and I think the import of what he has said was fairly clear. However, silence never brings out the truth nor brings about necessary change. Does anyone know what Buster did with the bond and Aces cut of the Sky money as it didn't go to the riders? GTR, polydactyly op or clothes pegs? Steve Worrall said in last week's Speedway Star "Although some of us had not been paid, it had been guaranteed by the BSPA so it wasn't a huge issue back then" I am sure that all of the questions requiring answers from the BSPA will be dealt with in full as soon as the future of Belle Vue is secure. After all we have a chairman who promised an era of openness and transparency. Well I think I'm sure. Ok, I can't see it happening.

Yes indeed. Like him or loathe him, David Hemsley did stick his neck out at times, and the SCB chopped off his head when he gave them the chance.
