Perhaps all riders could do the parade without 1 boot on? Its sad and pathetic because they aren't brave enough to stop riders from a league meeting but still trying to throw their weight around and make a point that just doesn't need to be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't appear in the top 3 of the New Zealand Championship in 1970, 1971, 1972 or 1973 - or indeed in any before that. I'm sure he would have at least once had ridden. Maybe he was based in another country? didn't he ride in British finals then? he was based in Manchester Edited August 16, 2021 by stevehone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he dont turn up with the shouty boys to really rub our noses in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't (or it certainly shouldn't). Its a typically spiteful, childish and totally unjustifiable action. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he rode on the IOW last week the BSPL have stopped him from being a meeting reserve for the British Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point being made is what is the reasoning behind this? At the moment all we have is a half-explanation from one side and mass hysteria is taking hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Lambo and Bewley (to a certain extent) are slowly catching him up. Just because he doesn't ride in the UK you have a hissy fit? The £££'s are in Poland so that's where he's based himself. It would be great to see him rider over here regularly, but he has decided that's not what he wants to do. What's the problem with that? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks for the replies guys. So basically because IoW are 'only' doing exhibition type stuff and entertaining with speedway with a few other things thrown in the BSPA threw their toys out of the pram. As a result because Coles took part in an event promoting speedway and trying to get it to appeal to holidaymakers as a good night out the BSPA are bully boys and saying its their ball and Connors not playing with it as far as the british final goes Typical 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wholly petty and very short-sighted. It's long since overdue that the P was removed from their name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
