Star Lady Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 What on earth has Sky scheduling got to do with it?? They only usually announce forthcoming fixtures a couple of weeks beforehand in any case. Good luck to both Quite a lot I'd think. It's not a case of who rides when but Sky allocating time slots for any speedway in amongst football and all the other sports in their schedules. Individual matches can be determined at a much later date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 We will run. Stop worrying. 6 riders already signed. Big meeting today which should hopefully seal the deal I have no doubt that we will Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I have no doubt that we will Phil. Although when I say signed I mean verbally agreed. And as we all know that means nothing untill a contract is signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I can confirm Sky sports schedules for March are not being worked on yet for the start of the Speedway season and won't be for another 7-8 weeks yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Maybe we should add Coventry to this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 What I would like to know is - do promoters still post a financial bond to the BSPA before they operate a team? We were led to believe that this was a requirement. If so have the 2016 promotions at B.V. and Leicester lost theirs? If not why not? Out of pocket riders should at least partially be compensated from these funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bond is used to pay any speedway debts (i.e. riders and other clubs) If you read the piece in the Speedway Star Scott Nicholls says that all being well, the riders will be paid what they're owed.

waiheke1 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 If thats the case from your team will be post a few days ago i hope Richie has a change of heart and we sign Hougaard instead makes for a stronger team imo. Agree. That plus the quality of the 7th signing would imo dictate whether aces are play off contenders or bottom 3. Should be an entertaining aide to watch at home either way.

hyderd Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) In my mind, Belle Vue will defo run next season cause if their was still doubt then surely the likes of Cookie/Fricke would have team places elsewhere. Even S Worrall is not named yet at Newkie. Edited November 25, 2016 by hyderd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 BV will almost certainly run but Leicester is pretty much in the hands of the Gods. With Helmsley controlling the stadium there is little likelihood of someone operating satisfactorily as a promoter. And the crowds are so low now the question is can Leicester and surrounding areas support a team to be viable on a financial basis? I just want all promoters to pay their outstanding debts, particularly to riders, before they exit the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
