The BSPA will have paid the riders the outstanding wages, all be it at the standard league rate. I.e. Not the additional money agreed between Rye House and the individual riders. Just a theory. Good theory, and one I suppose should not just be applied to RH ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the riders have been paid by either the bspa or BMR .Rye house/ BMR should not be able to use the stadium for anything speedway until all monies have been settled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbackHalifax Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Not forgetting that Cook alluded to Lakeside haven’t settled their own debts and until they do his promoters license may be suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly wasn't impressed by the stadium promotion at Rye. One prominent member of BMR told some Hammers fans to 'go home and not return' after they asked for the season ticket gate to be opened at the same time as the pay turnstiles! This was shouted in front of quite a few supporters too. Talk about bad customer service! One former Rockets fan said he was always like that too.

One 'official' from an away track told me they were refusing to honour BSPA passes. Things like that don't go down well at the old Boys club.

Tracks should be licenced as safe or deemed unsafe, there can't be any middle ground.

Ghosty Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I am sure Rye House still owe riders & the BSPA money, ditto Lakeside. If everybody was paid up I've no doubt that Rye House would be welcome to participate in one of the leagues in 2019. Also is it not the financial situation with Lakeside that is causing Jon Cook problems (2018 Lakeside co-promoter) with his intended "jumping ship" to Eastbourne? or may-be the BSPA don't want someone involved who is "to intelligent for speedway" quote!

If the reason was we will grant a licence for a max crowd of 600 due to inadequate parking / viewing areas and CL is not sustainable at those numbers it would make sense. But not sure what actual facilities are actually required vs what are just nice to haves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the health and safety inspectors have made a visit. Negotiating the car park is treacherous enough, and that's before you enter the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea Iam just saying what the presenter said on the radio but Iam guessing it’s nothing to do with the safety of the riders.

I have no idea why they build the moto x track in the middle? Using the car park would have been challenging enough for even the most seasoned rider. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only safety concern for the riders is the poor lighting on parts of the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
