Every season the BSPL out do themselves and make the sport more farcical than ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Today just about sums up what a shambles this once great sport has become team managers swapping clubs when there own team is riding the crazy situation with Riss when Ipswich running a 6 man team and Riss guesting for Pboro - when you think you’ve seen it all it’s sinks to whole new level 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Bomber must be really fed up today with no gig anywhere. To be fair to the guy can't Sheffield scratch one of their riders tonight so Bomber can guest for them and at the same time guest in place of Ben Barker for Ipswich! With this hot weather about he'd be more than happy changing kevlars between races! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgy Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse. What an embarrassing shambles. Buster you’re an absolute joke - enjoy your holiday, in the middle of the season. Just get out and leave us to die with some dignity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We not bringing Riss back then? Barker’s 28 days is up on Wednesday.. King, Hume and two for Rew then.

And he has made it so much better by insisting that the track get graded after heats 4 , 7 and 11 all that does is drag the meeting on longer I wonder how much power Phil actually has? not much I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the sport they want... A cozy closed shop which is nothing more than a play thing/hobby for them.. The fans who still take it seriously go along with them, colluding that what is being served up has some relevance and kudos.. It has neither... The play offs get "bumper crowds" because many who dont attend regularly (solely down to how the sport is ran), turn up for "one night only" knowing that they will be part of a decent crowd and feel like they are at an "event".. In short.. It will actually feel like a proper team sport for an evening, (just an evening)... For many, here is the script... Attend Play offs, season ends, attend first meeting the following season as "starved of Speedway", stop going, pick and choose meetings when star names are in your town, attend play offs... Rinse and Repeat... The promoters, as they show by this evening, dont take it seriously themselves, so why should the fans? Apologies if this sounds like moaning... I will put up some air fences in the future.. Not cleaning out any bogs though... I will bring a "guest" in for that.. Or apply for a BCR (Bog Cleaner Replacement) facility... Edit: You can see tonight how seriously the Promoters and Riders take it.. When a Manager can swap sides with his own team somewhere else, and a rider be happy to take a booking riding for a team that isn't his own, when his own team has a match, it tells you everything about why it can never be taken seriously from a "team sport" concept. .. As even those who belong to teams have zero emotional attachment to them, hence represent someone else without a moments hesitation. .. In a "proper team sport", (that meant something), neither would have have taken either role as their loyalty would be solely to their own team and no one else... And let's face it, in a "proper team sport", they wouldn't be asked. .. (Imagine the reaction if they did this in Poland?)...
