It is a good job Fridays were monitored & fixtures were asked to be changed. Two Friday tracks, Edinburgh & Glasgow, racing against each other so Lakeside have joined the party. Just imagine if, hypothetically, Workington v Peterborough would, also, have been racing. Guests would have been a nightmare.

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 24, 2018 Maybe the showers can be worse than expected & the meeting postponed to preserve the health of the guests for their main teams. Even if it is a team sport, the riders are self employed & move from team to team, generally, every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bash 496 Posted August 24, 2018 So Ipswich have thrown the whole towel in now and completely given up. Season over in three weeks, will be glad to see the back of this season and hopefully we will have more fixtures next season as this year has been a joke. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 24, 2018 ........ and that is with only 6 teams riding tonight. Just shows that the BSPA(not Godfrey) made the right decision to stop the abuse of too many teams riding on 1 night Friday as was discussed at the AGM. Rules need amending sometimes if problems arise. I would think most people at work go through problem solving talks & issues & implement changes. Even the Premiership Fixed Night Racing schedule has limited options for guests as was proven earlier this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the Premiership Fixed Night Racing schedule has limited options for guests as was proven earlier this week. It is fair point that too many teams were permitted to ride on Friday nights. That doesn't change the fact that their fixtures were published and agreed. It is appalling that three teams were told that they could not run those meetings part way through the season - And whatever you might say, I don't think there is any doubt at all at whose behest the goalposts were moved. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
