The whole thing has just been a farce this season, only limited home meetings to stage, set race nights to avoid doubling issues and they still can't do it! I sympathise but this match was due to be staged first on the 6th October and their doesn’t appear to have been any great urgency to stage it despite time rapidly running out, a point I raised on an earlier thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This simply should not be allowed to happen. Lakeside would not be thrown out. They would be ordered to restage the fixture. If they can restage the fixture is another question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workington would have to park up at a service station and await the result before resuming their journey! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible that we've had less league fixtures this season and find ourselves struggling to complete the season . biggest bugbear for me is all those weeks in the height of the season at all tracks with good weather most of the time and no speedway whatever bright spark thought of that idea should not be allowed anywhere near a proposed fixture list again Correct me if I'm wrong...ha,ha,......but didn't the Boro promoter say the home meeting at the EoS, versus Lakeside, would be the last meeting there this season???

Popular Post Daytripper Posted October 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Let’s not overlook the the culpability of the BSPA Chairman and especially the Vice Chairman in all this. It’s thanks to Godfrey interfering with the fixture list to suit his own club that meant that Lakeside, Peterborough, and Workington had difficulty completing their fixtures, and thanks to the pair of them that Lakeside couldn’t use both Arena and Rye House get the Remain gin fixtures . Thats Chapman and Godfrey for you, bleating about protocols and to hell with the fans. Even by BSPA standards the sport has sunk to a new low, made even worse by Chapmans boasts that he was going to do this and do that but he has done nothing. Words cannot e,xpress my contempt for the pair of them, especially Godfrey. Look at the mess the sport was in when these two clowns took over, and look at it now - even worse. Unbelievable . And they both think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. As for Peterborough, Lakeside and Rye House Stadium, it wouldn’t surprise me if they are all history by next year. Sadly. What a bunch of clowns run this sport from to bottom. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 If it wasn't for the outstanding league match at Workington, I would not have been surprised if Lakehouse had turned around and conceded the Shield competition, then ran the match vs Panthers during the week (Wednesday or Thursday) and then next weekend worky would face us or Peterborough, Worky on the Saturday, then Lakehouse or Peterborough on the Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance I'd say. The club must have lost a fortune running these few meetings at Rye. The stadium is not fit for purpose, and needs major investment to make it suitable to run professional Speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 it was obvious that lakeside were going to go through if meeting continued but others have had meetings called off in the past when 1 team was obviously going to win only for the rerun to favour the other team now as a Workington fan I wouldn't like to call this 1 do we want to see lakeside 3 out of 4 last meetings no not really do I think panthers with only 2 of there own riders and 4 selected track guests are a good opposition well who knows panthers did finish top before playoffs and were going well but its not the same team now and are a lot weaker either way there's just over a week to go and it needs sorted soon as next weekends weather forecast for up north is no looking too good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Sad sad day for the sport. Feel for Lakeside as the problems seem to lie with the stadium owners, any I would imagine that the Lakeside promotion will more that likely look at this and realise that they cannot continue to use the Rye House stadium for now and the foreseeable future. For me Lakeside should do the honourable thing and forfeit the tie, a sad day for them not fault but needs must. But serious questions need to be raised as to why after a reduced fixture list and and the best weather for some years we are still trying resolve completing fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 maybe if the 2 sides can work something out between them that will be the way to go but who with a chance of winning the league playoffs will just stand down if they don't have too id feel really bad if my team were in with a chance and forfeited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Let’s go back to arena and give the place a proper farewell, try going out in style. Lakeside is not going to survive at Rye House.

miadfa8 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I went tonight. Absolute shambles and I left at 8.30pm. The electrics at Rye were always dodgy in Len's day as the call always used to go out for Steve Naylor when the they went wrong. The fixture should be restaged and if Lakeside can't do so within the timeframe left of the season they should be chucked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the Hammers were on a different planet tonight and were much quicker out the of the gate on a track which was greasy early doors and was as bald as a badgers bum. If it had got to heat 10 we couldn’t have complained but unfortunately you didn’t and the aggravation you caused at Peterborough the other week after our light failure and delay has really come me back to haunt you. The BSPA Results service states meeting abandoned result does not stand, effectively that means it needs restaging, if you cannot do that you forfeit the tie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
