Whisperer Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Allegedly dodgy indeed! The good news is that as the tangled web unravels in front of us, Chapmans 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. And prejudicial to any fair hearing or inquiry if indeed it was Buster who made that statement and not someone else avoiding putting their own name to it, hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Worlds within worlds, secrets & lies and all hidden behind a smile. Men and women wearing the Blazers with pride and passion and saying " Everything will turn out fine, wait and see" - just like the band playing on the Titanic as it went down to it's deep dark final resting place.

As a side issue there is even some dispute over which tune the Titanic band was actually playing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump99 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Something very strange going on here, I’ve just seen the SCB Statement, then the Article in today’s SS by Peter Oakes, they completed contradict each other, I've seen that mentioned elsewhere. For those who don't get the SS, what is the gist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 S.S. is about as onformative and truthful as the beano . in fact it make the beano look like a lawyers court file . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I've seen that mentioned elsewhere. For those who don't get the SS, what is the gist? Can't recall exactly but did say Godfrey also has had his license suspended which I don't think has been mentioned previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Not seen anything in the star about his suspension, i saw the bit abut getting this year wrong and a hearing in december Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Gedfreygate continues, with Ged and Rob up before the bench, but apparently no sanctions against Jack Holder, Poole or Torun. It can't be right that Torun can offer a bribe in this way, thereby bringing the sport in to disrepute. The FIM should get involved, as the SCB and ACU are powerless to do anything, and the Poles won't be interested in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree I was thinking along the same lines myself, surely there must be a question of ethics involved here. looks to me that Torun have bought there survival in the top Polish league by means of offering a bribe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Not seen anything in the star about his suspension, i saw the bit abut getting this year wrong and a hearing in december The line in the SS refers to the 'suspended' Peterborough boss Rathbone.... and the 'BSPA' vice-chairman Godfrey. Doesn't say Rob is suspended....at least not the way I've read it. Edited November 17, 2017 by Albert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 The Speedway Star also revealed the amount of the bung as £28,000..... Stand up all those promoters that could be tempted... all those remained seated.. I suggest you're lying. Given the state of British Speedway...That's a big sum of money, its wrong on all counts...but you can understand the temptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) just like a bank robber , you can understand the temptation , you know its wrong. but they still do it . its like that old heaven 17 song= temptation . pity it all went Pete tong when you get caught out . so who is next for the temptation of the large bung . a lot of dirt under the carpet now !

wealdstone Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Agree that Speedway Star article could be read both ways re Godfrey suspension and on reflection tend to think it refers only to Rathbone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't say Rob is suspended....at least not the way I've read it. That's correct. Although considering "The findings of this investigation was that both parties admitted that a discussion regards the level of fine had taken place" you could ask why not?

Going back to other analogies used.... If someone asked a copper "how many years will I get for armed robbery" and got the answer "actually it will only be 6 months" 1)Should that conversation be any kind of defence? 2)The copper is guilty of nothing more than stupidity at worst and certainly hasnt commited any offence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
