Theboss Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 The BSPA have had plenty of time to come up with a race formula, if they couldn't work one out I'm sure they could have got someone else to sort it out, surely it's not rocket science!! Just another cock up to go with the many others the BSPA stumble through, it's beyond a joke now. The Berwick and Scunthorpe fans have every right to be peeved and angry, they have been let down badly I wonder what would have happened if Peterborough were in the bottom 2? Seeded just like the SWC finalists I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race formula posted on the Berwick 2015 thread which seems decent enough to get all ten teams to the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 you never know the coach firm may refund the deposit as a goodwill gesture if its the firm the supporters club use for all awaydays I agree about the 4TT and i'll throw in the Pairs too. Generally very good meeting to see for a neutral like myself Bet SCB has a formula up his sleeve, was it last season or the year before he had a formula to avoid double up/down rider fixture clashes ? Did anyone from the BSPA contact him to see if it was feasible ? They'd know about it i bet they all browse this forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBSC Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's the only trophy you've won in almost thirty years. Of course you enjoy it Gold Cup 1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archie21 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 HOW can all the "posters" of negative comments (the system wont work / only 4 riders etc ) be so negative. At least try it out, then make up your minds. The 2 day 4s event had the negative response because it was held over 2 days, but was a great event IMO as did many more who went. The support of speedway from the public is reducing, just look at the amount of T V coverage this year compared to a couple of years back, and now 2 teams have been withdrawn. How many supporters will now NOT be going , I for one had a full car so that's 5 of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northyorksbear Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Incredible!!! The solution was so obvious to everyone, but it took BSPA 24/48 to work it out and in the meantime jumped in with both feet and caused untold damage to sport's reputation and to Bandits and Scunny fans - total sympathy - if I were berwick/Scunthorpe promotions I'd be tempted to tell them to stuff the fours for this year! Just read they worked through the night to draw up the new format - did they give it to a group of 5 year olds to do? I, and I guess vast majority, could do a formula in about 10 minutes- max - it really is that simple! I would like the Management members concerned to be named so we can thank them and then have a bigger laugh at their sheer stupidity Edited July 27, 2017 by northyorksbear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn`t an open meeting where riders can decide to enter or not. the standard BSPA contract probably says something like " you will make yourself available for the shared event meetings" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond@heart Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Gold Cup 1991 Berwick won the Gold Cup in 1991, did they, I always thought that was the Diamonds!!! Madness that Berwick and Scunny are in, no they are out, hang on, back in again!!! I dread to think what the sporting world thinks of our sport, now wondered companies are queueing at the door to throw money at the sport in the way of sponsorship.
