However last time a double header at Rye House failed to go the distance we did get a refund.
(When Rye v Eastbourne was 'dusted' off).
A re-admission policy for double headers is needed though. I would suggest that if you get less than 20 out of 30 heats, which pro-rata is equivalent to 10 out of 15 races in a standard match (ignoring the possibility of MDL races etc) then there should be some form of credit.
Agree but it isn't.

As has been confirmed by a speedway promoter this morning, if the meeting is called off after 10 heats of the first meeting then you will receive no refund or reduced admission on the rerunning of the second meeting.
New low in speedway. Pay for 30 heats get 10.
-
Really confused by anybody suggesting it was called off by Coventry on purpose, why would they? Only two heats away from 3points which were very needed and the headache of another date to find for the fixture in front of a small crowd.
Who has suggested that it was called off on purpose?
Neil.
1) There is no notice outside the turnstiles before you go in.
2) The turnstile staff, when asked what the re-admission details for a double header were did not know.
I see from your reply that you consider that 10 heats from 30 constitutes you having fulfilled your side of a contract.
Fair enough but I and many others will never attend another double header meeting at Coventry.

At the minute it doesn't seem it'll be too much.
I assume you have not looked at the Met Office forecast.

That will only happen if Garrity locks up in front of him
You obviously weren't at Poole the night that Newman rode into the side of him on the back straight.

That Garrity stays on his bike...
He will if Newman doesn't ride into him

Isn't Shamek injured? So it would have to be Piotr.
Where / when did he get injured?

Probably would have gone with it being a massive pokc qualifier, you see I'm not a bigoted moron and can appreciate that the pokc does have a couple of good points if you're involved. Ironically it's the pokc which has given Wolves the opportunity or excuse to rip off away fans which makes it unlikely that I'll bother, unless someone wants to give me a lift.
As we all know it's just another item on the list of things the pokc sycophants are too thick to realise that the pokc actually does more harm than good.
Thanks for caring by the way.
What just like Belle Vue did how many times last year.
-
I wonder if we will hear who faces who this evening or tomorrow morning if Belle Vue get the win they require?
Not until the team line-ups for the play-offs are known

No Morris used his own spare bike but as that was playing up on the way to tapes then Aaron brought his out but it wasn't used.
So no spare came out then ? so the why was the pit gate open if not allowed to go back into the pits ?
So take that up with Swindon speedway then because the pit gate is not meant to be opened either, but the rule still applies if you leave the track at places like Wolverhampton.
-
What spare bike come out ?
The one that came out for Morris in Heat 3 and the one that that Wright presumably went in to get.
-
Maybe so ..but why was the pit gate open ..it's a silly rule anyhow ....if you put the 2 mins warning on what does matter what they do as long as they get to the get in time ? if wright chooses to go to the pits then that's his look out .
I totally agree with you but the refs are told what the rules are and are meant to apply them. As for the pit gate being opened how do you suggest they get a spare bike out.
I think you have got kelvin to thank for this new stupid rule with all his bleating about riders going back to the pits.
-
I'd never seen that before and thought it was just Watters inventing a new rule but I'm probably wrong, as usual. I'm sure someone will let me know!
You are no longer allowed to leave the track after an unsatisfactory start. It appears that Morris knew the rules because someone brought his spare bike out for him.
-
Question-why do we always have to have that plank Watters refereeing Swindon v Coventry matches, he always tries to spoil them with his "I'm bigger than the riders attitude." Thankfully, his attempts to scupper Swindon's chances went pop in the end but I would be very grateful if he never refereed another match at the Abbey, old or new!
Would you like to tell us what you think he did wrong tonight.
Oh yes I forgot you are not meant to pull Swindon riders back for moving at the start no when they are at the abbey.
-
Jacques,
I predict you will be at home in front of the telly as usual.
-
Warm and drying, the meeting is ON. Admission £10 for over-16, all under-16s free.
We know it is on at the moment, BUT will it be on at 7-30 and will it go to 15 heats?
-
-
How can Lakeside have Aaron guesting for them when Swindon are here on Wednesday?
-
Comfortable win for a water logged track.
-
The county ambulance didn't leave the track with Dan on board until 10.55pm, with ten heats still to run that would have been far too late for fans, riders and track staff regardless of any curfew time. As soon as it became clear that Dan's medical treatment would take some time the meeting was abandoned by the referee.
Neil, there was not one fan there last night that moaned about the meeting being abandoned, Dan had to come first. But people do and did object to being lied to. We are not all stupid. There is not a curfew at Brandon, as admitted by Mick after an earlier debacle.

Well, I'm still going with a printed blank programme. It will give me something to do all night and I should think anyone buying a programme would have a hell of a lot of alterations to make anyway. Actually, I think this is going to be a brilliant match as these sort of meetings often turn out to be much better than expected. I'm looking forward to it but I thought Swindon would win before so I'm still sticking to that prediction.
I think it will be an old programme as well as it is a rearranged fixture that was rained off.

Where did I say that I had. This is what a promoter said is the case this morning when asked what the rules are.
