torpointfanatic22 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) On 5/12/2022 at 5:09 PM, TTT said: I've started an entire thread about the state of the Championship as it's 3 teams that are taking the mickey now and it's the fans who'll lose out eventually. I don't know all the ins and outs but it's easy to say 3 team taking the Mickey this season, lets not refer to the countless teams who have done this season after season. Put simply, there aren't enough riders to go around and while I don't know the stat of Brum and Newcastle, I do know that Plymouth have tried very hard to secure replacements from two nasty injury incidents and a rider withholding. It doesn't help when the the Chairman blocks moves for his own gains either. This is far bigger than 3 clubs, yet again it goes straight to the source and the complete farce that is the BSPA and existing promoters making decisions. As for Brum, I hope they resolve the issue and bring in a replacement if required. Edited May 15, 2022 by torpointfanatic22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on the Plymouth thread surely the full story if known is relevant to speedway in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my job to make appropriate appointments....I'm a chemistry research technician with just an opinion, as stated in my post. If I owned a business, then I would appoint a manager that made the business successful. Bham made a great start by improving the track and then conned the fans with a team under false pretences (if the Ellis rumour is true...) That's sh#te management imo!

Who has Sedgmen signed to replace? Auty or Ellis? I presumed he'd replaced Auty, but if so, why is Ellis also missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I think the problem is Tuesday when he is due to be riding for both Dackarna and Birmingham. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Tbh, it's only a rumour thats been started so no reason why Ellis shouldn't be riding or get a ban either. Until something official is said, there's not even a story is there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that GB Speedway team is a completely different entity to BSPL/PL/CL, it didn't even get a mention on their website until after the event!

GiveusaB Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Seriously....if the Ellis rumours are true....I know a fair few Bham fans that wont be bothering anymore... If you think last season was a struggle, then this one is just about to get a whole lot harder by looks of things. Such a shame after all the hard work on the track..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
