Hawk127 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Just read the BSPL decision / statement. As a group in charge collectively you are the biggest bunch of no hopers to ever grace the sport. No wonder it is in the state it is in but the BSPL don’t give fig and the riders / fans can go screw themselves. If any of you in charge had any balls you would be honest and admit you cocked up but you will not. Where is that waster Vatcher and why is he not standing up for the riders and coming on here to admit it is a shambles. Roll on IOW in 2024 because the rest could not organise a p..s up in a brewery.

Bagpuss Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 How can the cup be awarded to Mildenhall when they are behind after their home leg Absolute shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone can explain the logic behind that decision! Perhaps it was a typo! If Mildenhall have any decency they will refuse to accept the cup!

Using that logic, if the meeting goes ahead tomorrow, Oxford would win regardless of the scoreline. What will happen if it's slightly damp tomorrow but raceable and Leicester refuse to ride saying unfit track?? Completely shambolic way to end the season.

Hilly Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Now it's a one leg shoot out, are tac subs allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Lions & Cubs have qualified for 6 finals over the last 2 years and the home fans have only seen 1! And that's beyond a joke I'm afraid. Has anybody even come out to apologise? They're too busy just trying to sweep things under the carpet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its raceable then the ref would tell both teams to get on with it. If, after that decision, either team refused to race then the other team would be awarded the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Shambles led by the bspa or whatever they call themselves today has been going on for 5 years and shows no sign of improvement . Maybe this could be top of the list in Tenerife, leagues and play offs MUST be completed by end of September 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans pay money all season to watch competitions that may not even get completed.. So. You have to ask...

To be honest, I bet the club would probably agree to this even if it wasn’t in the rules. Yes, it’s that important (not) and nobody can really be a*sed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on Vatcher as I do like what he is supposedly trying to do. Unfortunately he is just a puppet like Phil Morris. After one season with Morris in his position, I cannot see what he has brought to the table to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
