Proves one thing now. Never ever trust Promoters or Managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byker Biker Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) The integrity issue for me is brought about by owning more than 1 club in any league, it effectively means those clubs under the same ownership can "squad" their riders so that one of them wins the league. Of course when Mike Parker tried this in the 60's he had rider control and an independent SCB to contend with nowadays the teams who are squadding are also on the Management Committee so very little to stop them winning the leagues every year.

Never forget that Parker would make Chapman appear to be an angel. Any good that Parker ever did in either Speedway or Stock Cars was only done due to it being in his interests. The nastiest piece of work I ever met. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
