Im pleased to see this , yes we can move on. We all stick up for our clubs and rightly so, sometimes some might go a little to far in that respect. But we, all the fans now have our own fight, we all need to come together for the good of british speedway in this country, im probably like all of us not liking whats going on at the top, and im affraid this has got to change, there needs to be a big shake up in the management committee positions, Somebody a KL fan on the Chapman thread kindly put up what he and we all probably think, Love him or loath him from a Poole point of view, we now have the posibillity of Matt ford walking away from British speedway, and that doesnt sit good with me, yes there are other problems in british speedway, but the root of the problem imo is at the top, and this needs to change. Somebody i gather mentioned starting up a petition to stop Matt from walking away, i totally agree with that, i also feel very strongly, that changes should be made at the top of the management comittee...

Aces51 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 What we need at the top of the sport are people who can look beyond the interests of their own club and see what is required for the good of every club. The problem is whether such a person, or group of people, exist within the BSPA. They must be able to put aside self interest and have the vision and ability to solve the many issues that have brought about the current situation. I see Matt Ford as someone who has always put the interests of Poole first and sometimes to the detriment of the sport as a whole, so I certainly don't see him as the person we now need. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 When Matt first was on the committee he want things better for the overall picture. He got shafted quite early which in turn made him think Poole first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting on an apology from Starman2006 for his “you reap what you sow” comment about fallen/injured riders. Won’t hold my breath though. It seems if you have a blue & white badge in your car you can come out with any vile comment without reproach. Sad times. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Must admit don't understand this defending our clubs no matter what from some users. I'm one of the first to criticise the club's I'm involved with when things aren't right. But will defend when accusations are untrue, and some of the things Poole are accused of is astonishing to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t either love or loath MF and he must do as he sees fit for his own future, whilst ensuring the best interests of Poole Speedway is not compromised. I fully agree that the structure of UK Speedway needs a complete overhaul with totally independent oversight and regulation of each and every element of the sport including the “promoters”. I think we’ve all had enough of the antics of the BSPA and it’s “self licking lollipop” approach to the way the sport is run in the UK. It’s long overdue for a major restructure!!!!

SPD444 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 All this talk regarding the future of speedway should not be on this thread, the mods should move it to the cooect one which could get a larger readership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tangent only came about following the mudslinging and subsequent apologies, you managed to find it ok. Larger readership will just lead to another spat once the usual suspects get stuck in.

Matt Fraud is the cause of a lot of the problems with his selfish, win at all costs, cheating attitude, would be for the best if he did throw it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be banned for calling someone an idiot does seem a bit harsh but those are the rules. Think it’s best to move on... He actually wished him dead Steve0, and some of his tweets are plain disgusting and verging on criminal. I have just blocked the vile tube, end of story ..

As i said in an earlier post, i think it is now time that the fans gave the management comittee top man a vote of no confidence, that doesnt mean stop going to speedway, just make it well known of our feelings. before its to late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I agree, so HOW do we organise a national petition of fans who support a NO Confidence motion in Keith Chapman as Chairperson of the BSPA? I have organised paper ones but not online digital ones. Anyone can help us? And let's hear from others re a Thumbs Up OR a Thumbs Down on the idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
