But equally they don't appear to be doing anything either - if they can't be bothered, why should we? This for Wolverhampton: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/premiership/wolverhampton-speedway-statement/ Silence for Peterborough, meaning they do want to let this one go... why? Something more to this me thinks Edited September 8, 2023 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make you wonder if the fans are not being given 5he whole story? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sidney Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 43 minutes ago, arnieg said: The SCB exists to regulate the sport, protect the integrity of their rulebook ( ha ha ) so it is outwith their remit, but one does wonder how the BSPL could be any less effective at achieving its basic mandate: to protect thd business interests of its members. It may be outwith its remit but they suggested they had a good relationship with Sport England and had contributed to other campaigns. It may well be better if BSPL got involved, but will they?

But in the long run it's the sport and fans that are going to lose out I can't imagine why 2 clubs in such similar situations get such different treatment. As far as I'm aware there hasn't even been any kind of press release on the BSPL website about Peterborough's imminent demise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maneacat Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 20 hours ago, Sir Sidney said: I asked the SCB. They will only get involved if requested - and at the point I asked them no one had. Sounds bonkers to me, especially where the current owner has apparently just accepted closure Your not wrong! Now ask yourself WHY would he do that? Has to be a reason doesn’t there? Not one that’s going to benefit Peterborough as a Club as far as I can see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaxley panther Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 I have a conspiracy theory , Buster wants us to close so he can take our decent riders to Lynn for them to challenge for the title next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the programme he said that was cobblers: "There have been no offers; I can categorically assure you of that. Not one person has made an offer for the club. The only person I've spoken to was Michael last winter -- nobody else spoke to me about it or offered anything. If anyone did want to make me an offer, I wish they would have put it in writing, because I would have accepted it if it was anything sensible. So when I see that I've turned down two offers, I really wonder what people are trying to achieve by saying that." If anyone wishes to dispute that then feel free.

Buster is not famous for his honesty. Pit gate and missing rider postponements. Tv meeting’s getting called off the day before and of course his antics at Edinburgh several years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
