Read the posts then I started this topic by saying THE BSPA HAVE NOW ASKED OR TOLD WORKINGTON to rearrange fixtures that were agreed pre season also 2 clubs who have people on the bspa panel have allready been offered new dates for matches which they have declined It's been the same for previous 2 years for Workington. Teams won't play fair with arranging new dates Workington fans have been told they might have fixture changes at short notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) we have been discussing it if you had read back you wouldn't have had to ask maybe the teams who think they have the right to dictate to this rest of the league are waiting for Workington rider shortage before they agree to fixtures Edited June 27, 2018 by scaramanga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In July, you already have meetings on the 6th, 13th & 27th. The 20th being the pairs before Cardiff. You also have the 3rd, 10th & 17th of August booked. What dates are free for these 2 teams with BSPA Representatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazza13 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Are they not Friday dates? We have been asked to rearrange to saturdays I believe..and reliably informed that 2 clubs wont agree to saturdays for whatever reason....

Neila Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 From what we were told on Saturday Workington comets were sent some communication from the bspa to say dispite future fixtures in July and August being agreed and published at the start of the season, they are now saying (bspa) that Workington can't now run on some or all nights due to other teams rider availability or non availability How the hell can the so called controlling body say this and what effects will it have on a Workington buissness plan or fan base, maybe someone can explain how and why it has got to this stage, IMO speedway has very little future if the controling body do things like this, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cometbaz Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Just read the press release about cancelling all the Friday night fixtures after tomorrow. What an absolute shambles this sport is. You couldn't make it up. Does anybody know any other business that is run in such an amateurish way. Those in charge get a holiday in the sun to dream up this crap. They must supply them with drugs to come up with the ideas that they do. Will the last one to leave please turn the light out. British speedway doesn't stand a chance with the present clowns in charge. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how it affects 3 clubs that are having an excellent season on track, namely Lakeside, Peterborough & Workington - Seems there are some nasty spiteful people making this decision, who are quite happy for other tracks to go to the wall Seem to remember, Laura being reassured she could have plenty of Fridays & now this is completely reneged - why promise something & then completely screw them over. Unbelievable 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree re: the Peterborough fixture Think he is being very diplomatic saying they have “disappeared” & “club has yet to receive any explanation” doesn’t sound very professional by the BSPA He seems to find the need to emphasise the need to come to a decision not “terminal” to clubs & reminds us of the closure of Rye House - seems serious to me Why have the 13/07 fixtures at Lakeside, Peterborough & Workington been omitted when only Edinburgh are at home that night? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable This is absolutely shocking Only 3 clubs affected , now there's surprise , the 3 who don't have corrupt people on the BSPA board, it stinks to high heaven !!! And 3 clubs who are doing really well on track too , the lengths some Team Manager's will go to , to win the league (Godfrey) . Rye House already destroyed made to race on certain nights, how many more clubs set to fold with these clowns at the helm .
