LagutaRacingFan Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Ged shouldn't hand anything over. That's Peterborough Speedway's money. BSPA are acting like a mafia organisation. Walk away and let the club close down, I'd rather that happen than a single penny go to Chapman.

Get your facts right, It is the Speedway Control Board who have fined Peterborough not the British Speedway Promotors Association....nothing to do with Chapman, incidentally it is not a fine, they are just recovering the bribe money Peterborough illegally received from Poland....surely that is only righ and proper ?

False dawn Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 The money ain't the issue. The agreement with Torun was according to the promotion "to the benefit of all concerned". No it wasn't. I am only one fan but it didn't benefit me. And I'm not a Peterborough supporter. There are such things as contractual obligations. There is a level of trust with the public. I was treated with contempt and I won't go away. Principles for sale? Not on my watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) so Ged robbed the British speedway fans of seeing Mr. Holder. The authorities have fined him the same amount of money that he got bunged for doing it. So hopefully the money raised from the fine should get shared out equally between the fans that never got to see Mr. Holder in action. That sounds fair anuf to me. unless Ged has spent the bung and is gonna do a runner Edited October 9, 2017 by ruffdiamond 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluTiger Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 At last we have some 'meat on the bone' putting an end to speculation. Pay up Ged, learn from your mistake and move on... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Maybe the fine is reflective of the rewards gained by the Peterborough Promotion. If you cant do the time, don't do the crime. Excellent spot on. Time to cough and get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole keith Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 free admission for the first meeting is very harsh punishment,after a long winter with no income promoters are desperate to get some significant early season income, could be a real blow,could ask fans to make a voluntary donation on their way in hopefully most would pay their normal price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northyorksbear Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just read the report on SGB website Ged fined the same amount as what he received from Poland . I hold my hands up and have to say he has got what he deserves It's no good complaining about the size of the fine , he has broken the rules and deserves his punishment . My main concern is where does this leave Panthers fans who put quite a lot of money up front for the club to survive should Ged refuse to pay the fine as the showground will not deal with any other would be promoter. The statement that showground will not deal with other potential promoters has come from Rathbone, given his history of slanting the reporting of situations in his favour I personally would be doubtful if this was 100% definitive as stated. I know many Panthers fans feel he has been honest with them, but some of his explanations really don't add up - prime example is sacking of Hansen On the showground issue - can you really see the owners turning down income from someone, if they are reputable and have financial backing. They would much rather have facility used than standing empty and just costing money! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is where do you find such people with the financial backing ,as for Hansen really wasn't doing the business and looked a shadow of the rider who guested for us on a few occasions the previous season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ban Holder as he broke his contract and should be punished for it regardless of being told he could go. SCB should also interview Matt Ford as he is also involved in this. It was supposed to be a good deal for all parties involved. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 So it's a fine of the payment received plus letting everyone in free for the first meeting of 2018. Surely if Rathbone walks away he ends up the richer for it, not having to pay the fine and not having to take the hit on the first meeting too. If Peterborough close because of this it's a crying shame. But then the rules also should have been followed in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 As its free i hope Peterborough go to town and really push the advertising. Get as many new visitors in as possible and hopefully increase future crowds. Might as well try and turn a negative into a positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
