semion Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Was there even a ‘job’ for Ged and/or Watson. Once Busters boy Pratty was brought in, then it was a done deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 No animosity apparently. Would be nice to think that people can move on and forward in a positive manner, good results and action on track will help to that end. Despite the local rivalry I’d like to see Peterborough (and Ipswich) do well this year, apart from the occasions they race against Lynn of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 The problem is that even if they are genuine results and not dodgy ones people have already made up their minds and the conflict of interest is already established. Thick skins and ducks backs may be required come the latter stages of the season. Would never advocate any kind of skullduggery of course, unless it screws Poole over 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no time did Buster agree to this which led to Peterborough being over budget. Ipswich had room left in their budget for a rider on No1 money. Maybe all 3 were asked to move and Harris agreed to as he would be on same deal. The other 2 took a possible decrease to allow Tungate (who would never be at Ipswich for various reasons) to sign...... Maybe Allegedly Think you would find Ged disputes this view 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that he saved the league - but seemingly, saved the league on domestic TV. The Premier League could have run with 6 / 5 / 4 clubs ( if the BSPA so decided ). It does stink that Mr Chapman controls three clubs and 21 + riders. He will, before long, have majority control and then what he says becomes The Way of "top: league UK speedway as it crumbles to ashes in his hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the availability of guests will be an issue.That will be down to the individual riders themselves if they want to take a booking or not..Having said that not too many riders seem to like to take guest bookings nowadays,must be down to their workload what with all the doubling up and other countries.There are obviously some that will,Harris being one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a pain for you,but it may have made someone's day who is at work on nights.I get pretty peed when i'm working and there are fixtures i miss i must admit.But only 4 years 9 months and 17 days and i'm taking early retirement so should be able to watch all matches,providing speedway is still about then 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
