pleasureboy60 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I personally think the bspa should punish KL for not being able to fulfil fixtures. They can't keep getting away with this without being reprimanded. Wouldn't happen in any other sport. Deduct them 6 points for every meeting they fail to complete, excluding rain offs. Also award the away team points if a fixture is called off without a valid excuse. At the moment KL are taking the piss and making the authorities look silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, we have had 1 meeting postponed until later in the month !!. I think your a bit premature with that post myself. .. Am i missing something. Is it not PB that is without a promoter for todays cancelled meeting at King's Lynn?. Surely that was one of the problems? And i did say "one" before i get a load of, Buster is to blame for everything in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The management and authority of speedway is and always has been in the hands of a very selected few. Once again it’s the fans that get a bad deal and will be affected and then the promoters will be scratching their heads wondering why the crowd levels are rubbish!

Unfortunately you two are letting your dislike of Keith Chapman get in the way of sensible suggestion and debate.....the club is working with and not against the BSPL and keys not forget that the person who was running and funding the team has walked away half way through the season due to personal reasons, other than seeing the club shut down for the year I don't really know what the alternative is. You are right the fans are suffering but I don't see how deducting points and awarding meetings helps anybody least of all loyal supporters. The priority has to be getting through this season and coming back stronger in 2024 whoever that is under. Highly unlikely to be Buster, he wants to hand over the reins and retire, good job he hasn't decided to do that already and has instead stepped into the breach to try and keep the Stars going.

TTT Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I don't like Buster at all but I don't want to see British Speedway lose anymore clubs. The sport in this country is in a bad enough state as it is, I hope everything works out well for KL in the end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire as in sell up Saddlebow ? Or just retire from Speedway promotion ? If it’s the later he did that several years ago when Waggy took over the Promotion.

What is really surprising is Buster allowing a situation to arise where it could all fall back on him and leave him seriously out of pocket. Thought he would be far to cute for something like that to rebound on him so badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was probably up to date, in terms of wages, but my guess is that Alex was paying for AL's package on top of his sponsorship. Now it is no more..
