ruffdiamond Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Indeed they would mr ruff diamond indeed they would I am sure Ruff Diamond knows what you are referring to without making it too obvious. yes, so hopefully it can be used as a learning curve and speedway can continue as much as possible and can be the sport we 'once' all loved.

wealdstone Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 It was all a very dodgy deal from the start as the money wasn't actually paid by the Torun club to Peterborough Speedway. It was a business transaction between the Torun main team sponsor and Ged Rathbone which is a private case so this makes it more difficult in law to prove any wrong doing. I have it on good authority that Matt Ford and Poole were fully aware of the situation as his work permit sponsor they had to put their details forward as well for it to be approved by PZM I am shocked that Poole and Matt Ford well known as paragons of virtue should be implicated more so that they would let others carry the can.

Tosh1218 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 We will never know the truth ,but for the better of British Speedway let's hope this never happens again .Speedway has to be bigger than the riders and get back to entertaining the supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 to be honest a few clubs have found out this past season fans have had enough of the clubs treating them with no respect at all And a lot of them have already voted with their feet and it may be an impossible task to lure them back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, at most tracks it would be difficult to notice which matches have been boycotted and which ones haven't......... Don't think a boycott is the answer anyway really, given how parlous the situation is for many teams and I couldn't see those who still attend regularly being part of such an undertaking anyway... Let's face it, if you are still a regular at Speedway you have over the years accepted an ever increasing inordinate amount of nonsense put in front of you so are probably now immune to anything else that may be forthcoming... Therefore these 'die hards' will attend come what may.., Edited November 16, 2017 by mikebv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst clearly money changed hands I think bung is possibly the wrong word for it. What happened seems to have been known from word go and certainly no attempt made to keep it secret, indeed that is the whole basis of the row between Rathbone and Godfrey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that as the tangled web unravels in front of us, Chapman's statement of: "I am passionate about defending British Speedway. This is a major blow to the sport in the UK and the blame is very firmly at the door of Peterborough Speedway." Looks rather selective and vindictive.
