GiveusaB 1,132 Posted May 15, 2019 I cant see what the big deal is??? I for one am glad that it was called off (whatever excuse used) . It would've been a farce without Adam Ellis riding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would've been a farce without Adam Ellis riding! Just tell the truth. Issue a statement saying they are not prepared to take a financial hit with Ellis not riding. It's not hard is it. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why don't the authorities carry out their own investigation if they are that bothered. If tracks can call meetings off for a football match, then why not for missing riders. I don't recall any teams getting fined for pulling the plug before the day of the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this was an issue last week how come last weeks match was not called off due to electrical work instead of rained off? At least we know that was a genuine rain off. If this is an issue how come Dogs have been on every meeting? The Power Supply from Western Power would not be specific to one small area of a large stadium. If it is just the Pits Area why not hire a generator, a few hundred quid?? Sorry, I'll back Brummies to the hilt but this is frighteningly like 2014 and we don't want a repeat of that, and I don't want us fans being taken for mugs either. Re the point about not allowing a Guest facility. The rules are clear, if you re-declare you cannot have a Guest until a new rider has ridden a match. If the SCB grant us an exemption they have to do it for everyone. We could have Teams re-declaring and signing riders just to get a Guest for a vital match. Brassed Off! Well actually you can as Wolves have currently with Nick Morris. Being honest I have no problem when the SCB enforce the regulations it’s when they don’t enforce them as per the Premiership play Off final ref Guests, that stinks.
