The Cheese Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Actually, on Facebook Ged reacted to my post saying he was wrong, and should have been punished. In reply he implied that he had made a payment to my club, Newcastle, and when I asked "Why ?" he did not reply. It can be assumed, I think, that he has made some payment to Newcastle to offset any losses that my club may have incurred. Pleased he didn't answer as Facebook is not the arena for such discussions. If it's true that Newcastle have accepted some payment from Peterborough, which you have to assume was part of the Torun money, then shouldn't they be fined whatever that amount was?

wealdstone Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Any further retribution other than the deserved fine is effectively a punishment for Peterborough Speedway rather than the owner, which may prove to be the tipping point regarding the future. Those with such views would do well to reflect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 No. Right. So it's not acceptable for a club to receive payment in the way that Peterborough did but fine for them to presumably give some of that to another club 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Max Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Right. So it's not acceptable for a club to receive payment in the way that Peterborough did but fine for them to presumably give some of that to another club The payment Peterborough received was in relation to carrying out an act which contravened the rules, hence a fine. If any one else is in receipt of any payment from Peterborough, then you have to ask what have they done to "earn" this payment - if it breaks rules then sanction(s) are applicable, if not then no action necessary!

bigcatdiary Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Don't disagree that it was right to drop Hansen, the point I was highlighting was the fictional (imo) report of how it was conducted. What fictional report are you referring too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northyorksbear Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 What fictional report are you referring too The one in the speedway star giving Ged's account of why Hansen was told by text/phone on his way home that he was sacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 The one in the speedway star giving Ged's account of why Hansen was told by text/phone on his way home that he was sacked did they just text him as, they knew that hospitals/ambulances are a 'no mobiles' area and thought he would have been a decent citizen and switched his off ??? but got the message asa he was back on air.

LagutaRacingFan Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 So Newcastle and Scunthorpe were both compensated. What exactly is the issue? Nobody's lost out and I suspect the above clubs probably gained from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 IF Ged has not spent the money I do not see the problem in paying the fine. However I suspect some if not all of it has gone. I do not support the free admission to next meeting which seems to have sent the vultures and scavengers into a feeding frenzy. I really do not see the purpose of this since I cant understand what anybody has actually lost financially over this affair. I would hope that Panthers fans if this still stands and indeed Panthers still run would not take advantage of it, I certainly won't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although it turned out they were right 😛) That being the case should you not refrain from guessing whether Ged has spent the dosh rather than suggesting your 'suspect' some if not all has gone.... As for vultures and scavengers in a feeding frenzy 🏆 heres you award for most over dramatic post of 2017 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 lets hhope workington are the first visitors the the eoes for the free league meeting .. almost worth the travel costs involved to see marrowbones boat race ! Comets supposed supporters don't even turn up at Derwent Park so what makes you think they would put themselves out and turn up at the showground even if it was free.

jenga Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 me , i turn up every week ( apart from 2 weeks this season when family came before speedway , just ) we are prob like most clubs now and are down to the hard core fans . but its the mid season holiday in the sport that dwindles away the supporters . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Interesting comments by Ged tonight! Panthers were advised by the BSPA vice-chairman that they could take the offer from Torun to release Jack Holder. Worst case scenario was a £500 fine for every meeting Jack Holder missed. Sounds like the BSPA don't know what they're doing. I hope Ged walks away and leaves the amateurs to run the sport into the ground.

Panthers89 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Even though it's still Holder and Geds fault for what's happened. You do have to question why the BSPA would say that, then go against there word.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenR195 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Maybe they got Ged to take as much as he could from them so they could fine him and take the money for themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
