Mildenhall V Eastbourne NLPO Final 2ng leg 25-10-18@7-30pm

Recommended Posts

Eastbourne have tweeted a screenshot of what appears to be dugards email that clearly shows 3 dates (even the Thursday that Mildenhall ran - but this looks like it was before when Mildenhall must have told them when they were running as the email is dated on the 16th and the release for Mildenhall to run theirs was on the 19th October from their Facebook page. I sense a well written statement full of bull. I hope Eastbourne release a statement and make them look silly.

Mildenhall did much the same thing in the last meeting of the season at Plymouth in 2017, they did show but fielded a very scratch team resulting in a 64-26 win for the home side. As the promotion there has put the club up for sale and says it will be no more if a buyers not found it will just put another nail in the coffin of speedway in this country sadly.

Another nail in the coffin of UK speedway, that quite a lot of people prefer to ignore. Including the majority of the BSPA who believe things can go on and on as they are now. The closure this winter of three or four clubs, as seems likely, may make them wake up and smell the coffee that their valuable assets ( as they see them ) are almost worthless. Any clubs that are "saved" will be by fan coalitions and they need to understand that their financial input is really a gift to eke out nostalgic daydreams.

That is a great turn of phrase and an accurate description of where we are.

Obviously, there is a lot more to run on this matter.

A rider misses a meeting without being injured or genuine reason, gets a 28 day ban.

A referee made a balls up of the rules at the Belle Vue v Kings Lynn Play Off meeting and gets banned for the rest of the season.

Whoever is at fault here will get what?  Heavy fine? Ban? Both?

I was talking to a referee earlier in the season about track walks. He stated quite strongly, that if he reported all the faults he found, there wouldnt be any speedway. So why not report them? He said 'The simple fact is, clubs cant afford to put everything right'!

So just where do we go with any punishment?

Not in the NL. Riders can miss a meeting for any reason but there was always the opportunity for abuse some day.

How ironic would it have been if Eastbourne had put the league match on Sunday and play off on Friday would Mildenhall have turned up with that team do you reckon? Or would bailey Kinsley Kemp and beebee be free?

Does any Eastbourne or Mildenhall fan possibly have a programme cover scan they would be able to email me from the Play off and KOC Finals? Thanks.

Does anyone know the outcome of the SCB’s full investigation of the meeting cancellation ?
