Biffa Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 So we have a certificate, a SCB statement and a pre printed programme by a promoter with a high ranking position. Surely the one to chase here is the promoter with a pre printed programme. Answers need to come from that source even if it means dragging other parties into the mix. The SCB should call that promoter forward for an explanation as well. But, in the best interests of the sport ……. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you (not you literally) going to accuse a medical professional of faking a certificate and all that entails! Dont know what its like in Poland medical wise but these days in the Uk you can get meds such as antibiotics prescribed by a GP without them seeing or examining you they just speak over the phone and ask you as the patient what you want them to do . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bee Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) You can just see them sitting around this morning discussing what the next lie would be. "Go with Food Poisoning. We can make that work. Give the Russian with a Polish Passport a seven day ban as well, that wont affect Lynn as they have no meetings and shows the punters that we are doing something". I said last week he wouldn't be at Wolves after his crash at Lynn. You can predict British Speedway so easily. Why anyone still bothers spending their money going to watch it in the UK is beyond me. Evidently at Peterborough last night very few people did give them any money. I watched it with my wife last night on the TV, she's relatively new to the sport. Admittedly I have introduced her to Polish Speedway and the GP's first, but she said how depressing it was in the UK in comparison. She watched it last night because she likes Bewley, I prefer to watch the "Low Lights" package afterwards. Her words last night when I try and explain British Speedway were "they just make it up here as they go along". And this SCB statement just about sums that up. As I tell my staff at work, never try and pull the wool over the customers eyes, always be honest with them, they'll see right through it. British Speedway has been doing that for years now, they take us for mugs. Its on the scrapheap and needs re-building.....

Unfortunately though, we still attend in spite of the way it is ran, not because of the way it is ran...

bringbackHalifax Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 If the SCB information is correct and was known at lunchtime yesterday, why was the official reason not given out until today. According to the press release the “true facts” were known. Who picked up the cost of his cancelled flight ? The real issue here is if he misses one more meeting this year whilst riding elsewhere the SCB, BSPL and Captain transparent Phil are goosed. The independent ruler that every one wanted in speedway cannot exist in current form. if emperor Phil with no financial input makes the right call on clubs mis behaving, it will lead to club closing down, or in west Scotland throwing toys out of their pram, which could mean closing down or selling. So his hands are tied. Buster and Godfrey have been the worse possible leaders of the sport and everyone is now suffering. Put the fans first with every decision would be a good start, but I believe it’s too late now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if enough people feel the same for clubs to at least break even then they'll be ok. Until of course clubs are kicked out of the stadiums one by one. Me, I prefer to watch something that has some credibility behind the scenes to go along with the racing, has all the top riders and they get rewarded for entertaining us.

Hawk127 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 If I was a promoter/ owner of a club not caught up in this latest farce, I would be deeply concerned about my clubs future, the credibility of the sport and what the options are going forward. No way would the current set up allow a club to drop down a league so it would almost be a choice between closure or Nora. It beggars belief that those in charge trot out the same garbage and still think that they are professional business people yet they regularly fail to understand the market they operate in,the interest of the paying public but believe that the right thing to placate one and all is to trot out the same deceit which a few conspire to promote week in week out. Not one of those in charge has the balls to come on this or any other forum to defend the decisions or worse still accept reasonable criticism and debate the issues. If as seems likely some clubs are doomed, then protesting when the TV cameras are in town will do no harm as it has reached the point where the punters have nothing to lose apart from the entrance fee. It would be surprising if the likes of Belle Vue and Ipswich are part of this shambolic situation but I guess it depends whether they are under threat or worse if they do not follow the party line. How on earth did we get from regular weekly meetings in a semi competitive league to the as and when meeting arrangements you have today. Rather than give clubs the freedom to promote the sport, all those in charge who are empire builders want to do is, restrict, impede and frustrate the hell out of the decent clubs and the punters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
