Red Zone Posted June 19, 2014 Share The decision has been taken and its probably final and binding. But I want to look at the financial aspect, who paid the "fine"? If the club paid then I have a bit of a problem, as I understand it they are a development club who is funded in part by the PPA, i.e. a lot of us as PPA members therefore may in fact have footed the bill.

Even if they didn't pay it directly, I don't want to pay money towards a violent club that puts our sport in bad light... so we have a say regardless. If they are subsidized by PPS then there is even all the more reason they should publically apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brogue Posted June 19, 2014 Share To answer this and TK-Spez, I think a petition to force/persuade the club to make a formal apology and to push them to get media coverage of said apology will be a good start. To execute said plan, I believe a Hub run petition could be the answer, this will also showcase the Hubs stance in this matter. They also have the infrastructure to ensure the petition get the exposure it needs. The forgive and forget idea is a fantastic ideology, but not always very effective, unfortunately. Good cyclist pushing hooligan cyclists to apologize and act responsibly will go a long way in changing the motorist perceptions, but only if they actually get to see us doing it or the results of doing it. Ok, you start the petition and we'll sign it. Oufy MTB (Roadie) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
