dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Tonight's events see 2 great late passes by a Witches rider earn Sheffield 3 match points they otherwise would likely not have got and all but condemn our play off hopes Sheffield were vulnerable in 4th place and the only realistic position for us to catch I'm done with it and won't be attending next week.

Although Ellis wasn't a rider averaging 3 points more than the one he was replacing which was the effective position with Rowe for Bates This is just the straw that breaks the camels back - in itself its an almost nothing situation The sport just stumbles from one BS decision to another with no transparency and little consistency and constant self interest gerrymandering A new 5 year plan is instigated (poorly) every year - has one even made a 2nd season yet?? Perhaps I've just fallen out of love with the sport and after 18 months away am just realising I didn't really miss it as I thought I would I've not been entertained by the on track offering and have lost much of the feeling that there is any connection with those in my teams colours I'm certainly on the cusp of being in the 'ex speedway fan' category at this time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Chin up. I just go to see some close matches or decent racing or incidents (not crashes) and am not so concerned by the scores/who wins. Things don't always go the way you might want but that's life, we walk on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'm just glad to see the racing back, given the awful 18 months we've been through and am prepared to cut them some slack as they're under some strain at present with restrictions and rider availability. Glass half full for me, not half empty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit,, of all the people I know that still go to speedway, it's a shock reading it from taps. I go through the same emotions,,, I know exactly how you are feeling,,, but like me,,im sure we will both be there at the start of next season with fresh hope.

Its this skewed rule bending where one rule says he can do it and another says he cannot that infuriates me and our authorities allow it to happen. The SCB official should have said no and that’s the end of it. As has been said not only that but it further shafts his own team Ipswich who are now struggling to catch Sheffield to make the play offs. Some could argue that it’s swings and roundabouts especially after the last episode which allowed Cook & Starke to sign for Ipswich in the recent declaration as Cooks July GSA was ignored in favour of his June figure. But personally I like to see things done properly and without the underhand tactics this sport of ours is continually blighted by. Rowe’s guest bookings going forward are surely going to be busy now as he undoubtedly will replace Bates, Brennan and Mountain as regularly as his other team commitments allow, with the aforementioned trio likely to be unluckily smitten with various injuries and illnesses as and when the situation arises. I dare say the BSPL PR manager will surely come on to say it’s perfectly within the rules as they are written but when the rule book throws up anomalies like this it should be sorted and quickly by the SCB. I think going forward it would be a good idea if the BSP suggests rule changes to the SCB that they want, but these are then written by an SCB official not connected with any club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think writes the rules ? The SCB are powerless and merely ‘ ratify ‘ rules as and when Godfrey tells them too, that’s why he’s on their committee ! The current ‘ rule book ‘ is in his head and the answer to whatever depends on who’s asking . See stated case Redcar v Glasgow 2017 not completed prior to heat 10’s conclusion judged against Birmingham v Redcar 2021 , not completed prior to heat 10’s conclusion….ridiculous!

Thus bringing the sport in the UK both Credibility AND Integrity? Hmmm.. Interesting concept.. However. . Maybe we should just try and get regular manned flights to Mars first before we attempt this type of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2020 rulebook was revised by the SCB Chairman and others, proposed changes and ideas come from the BSPL via their directors. The SCB are not powerless although some parts of ratify undoubtedly happens. I wouldn’t argue with your third point in principle apart from the rulebook is in his head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
