Steve Shovlar Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just rumours from the usual sources. They only complaints were two Championship teams who threw their toys out of their pram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the fans not know why our clubs are so affected by this decision, particularly my club? And why can’t we all use Thursdays like Swindon?

No wonder some us truly just can't believe how they have not bankrupted their own businesses, in the same way they have brought UK speedway to it's knees. It will soon be a chalk mark on the floor, like the stereo typical thriller corpse. It won't take Sherlock Holmes to work out what went wrong.

christalan Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 23 hours ago, g13webb said: It was voiced on this forum, immediately after the announcement of the FRN, that a vote was taken and Matt Ford voted to go along with three 2nd division teams, to keep Thursday free for championship . When Ford was questioned about his vote, he replied he voted to enable Poole to operate on Wednesdays... Some say this forum is gospel ; I can understand Ford's logic, it was typical of the 'I'm alright right' philosophy... But why was something so big, in regards to other countries fixture clashes, that is was put to a vote with teams that has no bearing on Ist division racing is beyond me... Surely the BSPA should have detailed Mon and Thursday's as FRN , as was suggested by the FIM, and then asked the teams which league they wanted to join, not give 2nd div teams, the option of day and League they wish to race. They sure made a real pigs ear of everything, Can somebody show me the indisputable evidence where Matt Ford was supposed to have made these statements or are they fictitious like many posts on here.

BECAUSE the BSPA never disclose what actually happens at their 'secretive' meetings which its something that should change. It is a major reason why there is so much suspicion about what goes on behind closed doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams and Rossiter have both said Poole voted against Thursday's. Matt Ford has never confirmed or denied it but I suppose he couldn't as he wasn't in attendance (apparently). So who was the individual to cast the Poole vote?? Were promoters lying?? The thing is that fans get shot down on here for lying but the promoters of our sport really don't help themselves either.

PHILIPRISING Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 SO there you have it. If the BSPA disclosed who voted for what we wouldn't have all this confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
