Carlislecomet2 304 Posted October 22, 2018 This is the problem. When rules are stuck to rigidly, people complain 'there is no room for common sense'. However when there is a hint that some common sense may be shown people say 'what is the point of having a rule book' I am sure it is the same people each time complaining each time, and just like to whinge and have a pop at all and sundry. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This late in the season, time running out...”in the interests of speedway” P’boro should magnanimously accept the result. It would clearly help Lakeside if they ( Boro) did accept defeat as 'ammers only have use of Rye House this coming weekend....if a replay is ordered where does that leave Comets room to stage the washed out Shield double header and Play off final home and away.... it's still going be an headache whatever the SCB decide...?... Cue Totally honest John...help.... BTW.........is there another sport that has you weather watching, and panicking at cloud formation, as much as Speedway does ?

Steady on Singy13 there are a few too many (dare I say sensible) thoughts going on a present. Do you think anyone has thought about us poor supporters today? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best laid plans of speedway fans and promoters... The plan was (but is now right up in the air) Thursday Scunny Cup (done deal)(yeah) If Lakeside had won it was... Lakeside away Saturday (po) Lakeside home Sunday (po) Lakeside home Monday double header (shield + league) If Boro had won it was... Boro home Saturday (po) Boro away Sunday (po) Lakeside home Monday double header (shield + league) If Lakeside are now saying they only have one date available then there is a major impasse. This not only doesn't help Worky it shafts everyone. C'mon BSPA make a decision daddy wants to plan his weekend... Regards THJ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlislecomet2 304 Posted October 22, 2018 Was tonight an option for the restaging of Lakeside v Peterborough - The Final Chapter (Possibly), or was the announcement of tonight being a possibility for the restaging of our double header with Lakeside a non starter to start with. Anyone know? ........................and when is it likely to be staged now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I was told the two reserves couldn't get out of work commitments. However it was IMO a bit unrealistic and unfair to ask Lakeside to trail back up tonight at such short notice.
