wealdstone Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 A bit bemused , seemingly the Mafia feel his actions were in best interests of Speedway etc. However I thought his original stance was to deny that he did or said anything.

Dandelion Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 And, I don't mean that in a I'm sticking up for him, I haven't heard anything about this and was just wondering why people were meeting to discuss him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they? Would Holder and Rathbone (well Rathbone anyway) have taken that course of action if Godfrey hadn't given the green light.

Overstepped the mark suggesting the level of the fine incorrectly perhaps.... Breaking the rules just because you think you can get away with it is still breaking the rules.....

He allegedly didn't say not to do it though, in fact far from it it would seem. You'd expect someone in authority to make it quite clear that there is no grey area here. The rules say that you can't do it and that's my advice. If you do anything else then you get everything that you deserve. That is in the best interests of British Speedway, not the wishy washy conversation Godfrey and Rathbone apparently had.

wealdstone Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Seems to me the ACU appeal virtually vindicated Rathbone and pointed the light firmly at Godfrey and BSPA . Significant that BSPA failed to publish or report any of this. The outcome of any Godfrey hearing seems to have been prejudged as he was re appointed prior to the hearing.

waytogo28 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 As expected a total whitewash for "Honest" Rob Godfrey. BSPA and SCB closed ranks to protect their man regardless of their actions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave an opinion based on the rules which are made by the SCB not BSPA. Since when has there NOT been grey areas in the rules. Yourselves & Newcastle did not send your top 4 by averages which is the main point in your declared team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
