Daniel Smith Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 1 hour ago, PhilTheAce said: So 3 clubs stopped Dan Bewley from riding for belle Vue aswell as 2 other leagues this season. Would imagine it has nothing to do with uk, miss interpretation. Surely it's 3 Polish clubs insisting because of the complications it would have for them with their own rider's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Nothing to do with UK clubs its a polish regulation, also if the Russian riders are banned from riding Bewley could well be in the GPs so riding in 3 leagues as well as GPs would not be good for his career Thats why Woffy stopped riding in the UK as it took a toll on his health due to to much traveling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I'd heard that Bewley and Thomson were in the proposed1-7 lodged with BSPL some weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the same 2 names I put on here. It all seemed a done deal. .as speedyone says. It's cost the sport another guy that wanted to take the sport forward a good guy.

Back at the end of December, the Polish league removed the restriction that riders racing in Poland's top league could only race in one other league... Of course by then 5 of the Premiership teams had already signed a full team.... but Belle Vue hadn't... So now Bewley was free to ride in Britain, (as well as Poland and Sweden) and he did a deal with BV. The BV team was legal and within the points limit... but it looked rather strong...and certain other clubs didn't like this....so despite the BV team being legal and within the rules it went to a BSPL vote.... and 3 clubs voted to block it.... So it seems 3 short-sighted promoters have cost the sport the chance to see Bewley this year, cost Kye Thomsen a Premiership place, and also cost the sport the services of Adrian Smith. That’s most of the story but it missed one vital element: the Poles agreed to drop the two team maximum rule ONLY if other leagues allowed them (a) to run any night they wished and (b) that their league had priority over riders at all times. This then could adversely affect every Premiership meeting with riders being missing. I’m surprised any team sided with BV on this. Unless there’s one that isn’t using riders also signed up in Poland, but I can’t think of any 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds right for the promoters once again to look after their own club and to hell with the sport being run in a professional manner. No rules broken here…. once again BSP stands for British Speedway Prat’s as opposed to British Speedway Promoters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Very harsh decision but it's the correct one as Belle Vue would be gaining an unfair advantage over the other 5 clubs tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Let's be realistic how many riders would consider the UK regardless of dropping restrictions, not many that's for sure! Ok so Pedersen and Vaculik have committed before and what's happened has happened but you're not suddenly going to get all the GP riders back The board of directors should feel ashamed of themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be unfair? The team is within the points limit. Other Premiership teams had the same opportunity and the Poles run on whatever night they want anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) I will support the Aces and Colts but no other Premiership promoter will be getting a penny from me, the Championship will suffice for my away days, i would have dropped down a long time ago tbh, not done Poole any harm has it?

Don’t understand that one at all. If his average fits, he is willing to commit and available - what is the problem? There is no rule in the rule book to prevent this - except the same old problem from promoters - self interest and not seeing the bigger picture!!
