KevtheRev 122 Posted October 1, 2018 “We’ve been beaten on aggregate this time but what I will say is that we were beaten as a team, which is our team, without any games or whatever you want to call it. No games really - so you not agreeing to any fixtures at Arena Essex, knowing it would have to be ridden at Rye House is exactly what? just taking the piss? Your team - well congrats on signing Carl Wilkinson and Thomas Jorgenson in that case. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done GED and Peterborough in general... other promoters may have given up or gone for abandonment with result standing. The reality is that other promotions do not have emergency lighting to hand. Peterborough are in a particularly unique position in this regard. The apology comes with barbs and that diminishes it in my opinion. Neil Watson went to great pains to point out it is the referee who terminates a meeting early, yet we have references to the 'early finish' at Rye with the inference it was totally a Lakeside decision - so which is it? Last night both teams were using guests and references to 'playing games' does not sit well with someone who, on the face of it, would not agree to race at Arena when the opportunity was there. I wonder what strokes will be pulled for the play-offs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liam 376 Posted October 1, 2018 It should make Saturday a bit more interesting after all these meetings with each other. I might even have a visit to Rye myself for this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what strokes will be pulled for the play-offs. Peterborough were invited to come to the Raceway on 31st August but declined due to rider unavailability although, as far as I can see, only Grondal would have been missing due to a pre-arranged Danish fixture. Ironically, though, it would never been allowed to go ahead anyway due to three CL fixtures taking place already one, of which, involved Scunthorpe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To counteract you're sarcastic reply I think I should point out to you that Carl Wilkinson & Thomas Jorgensen were replacements for riders who genuinely couldn't be involved in the meeting through injury and not like the Lakeside re-enforcements who were brought in , who could have rode in this meeting , but you're management decided they would be better off bringing in guests who they thought would definitely score more points , some would call it a clever ploy others would call it pure gamesmanship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been madness to risk Ben & Alfie getting there on time. Correct decision made. If your management had agreed to raced this meeting back in August when only 1 rider from your team would have been missing, yesterday wouldn't have happened, plus It would have been warm and no delay for floodlights.

Either you've got you're wires crossed or you are very misguided What has the meeting on the supposed date in August at Lakeside got to do with yesterday's meeting in Peterborough.

The date in August would not have taken place even if Peterborough had agreed to the fixture as there was already 3 championship meeting taking place that day i'm pretty sure MR Godfrey would have soon put the dampers on it' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
