The home team need to be strong, (hence they even get extra % for guests).. That depends on whether it is: a sport with rules designed (as far as possible) to ensure parity of opportunity between the teams or a circus style entertainment run for the benefit of the promoter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my understanding too. It's quite clear they do whatever they like. This Lynn/Leicester meeting was obviously rearranged at a time when Wojdylo wasn't riding anywhere.

Do you honestly believe hundreds of fans would have stayed away if Simon Lambert or Craig Cook guested for Wojdylo? Very very unlikely, fans are used to guests for many reasons. So there's no evidence Lynn would lose thousands of pounds. So postponing is the wrong thing to do. Besides it's not the "speedway community" Buster has to argue against but the SCB when the enquiry happens.

Poland can do what they like & ignore any agreement. Let's be honest, who is going to stop them. If the BSPL force riders to choose between riding in Poland & Britain, the league will need to be a lot weaker.

(And it isnt a)... It is an (expensive) plaything for many, and a stand alone business for others.. Hence so many "Mickey Mouse" rules get made to get meetings on, regardless of impact to the credibility of the sport.. For once, there appears to be some thought that running a KL Select isnt the way forward.. As he owns the place, there will be plenty of Mondays and Thursdays to run this meeting, given fixed race nights mean riders will be available.. Poland allowing of course...

Away teams often agree to meetings in such circumstances... The Aces used to go to Arena on a Friday missing several riders on FIM meetings on the Saturday.. Bring in three or four ex Hammers as replacements and have a much better chance of winning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says in the rules that the SCB could have forbidden the postponement, it's unclear whether they have or haven't, as there's an inquiry, I assume they did forbid the postponement and Buster did it anyway.

Clive Ward Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 As the FIA run World Motorsport why can’t they insist that Poland adhere to the agreements that they have made with other countries and if they can’t why can’t they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
