Fortythirtyeight 840 Posted July 2, 2019 These ' decisions ' can be made by one individual on the management team. If that individual happens to have a vested interest in the result then he makes his decision accordingly. Has happened many times recently with those on the top table benefitting . One club can cancel a fixture as its not good business sense to run when riders are unavailable, another club gets threatened with fines for wanting to do the very same. A club gets granted a facility for a missing rider when there is no facility in the rule book, another club gets denied it. Several clubs apply to run on a certan evening but only the maagement teams clubs get to run that night and the others suffer the consequences. it goes on and on. Only an independent ' Ruler ' with no connection to any existing club will put a stops this. Why can't the Auto Cycle Uion run the sport? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had a genuinely injured rider and for reasons well outside of any common sense, we were declined a facility and made to use a junior. In any world that is just really silly and no man is going to convince me otherwise. At the end of the day the rule says no facility Thankfully on this occasion the rules were followed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We signed Tero but due to his injury we had to revert to our previous declaration and include Ricky. This is what also happened at Kings Lynn with Nicol/Lambert. Issue 13 PL averages effective 1/07/19 have Ricky at 4.52. This allows us to use a CL guest up to 6.78. Issue 16 CL averages effective 1/07/19 have Vissing 6.65 Aces rode against Poole 01/07/19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its like a lot of rules in our rule book that needs reviewing and possibly amending but as it stands at present it’s no facility. GSA are another story, they are so complicated now I doubt anyone knows them inside out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSA are another story, they are so complicated now I doubt anyone knows them inside out. As I've said before. Common sense should apply and it didnt. As it were, it actually looks as though we were allowed a facility anyway so indeed the rules were not followed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope try reading the thread Said Poole were favourites to win and they duly did........Poole go well at the NSS and were up against a weaker Belle Vue so it was the expected result If Kurtz didnt do his usual disappearing act in the latter heats you would have had all 4 points Pooles middle order are doing the business Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worrall, Covatti, NBJ . 10 points between them last time and the result was 45-45 R/R , Becker, Etheridge . 11 points between them this time and Poole win by 2 I would say the result was pretty much spot on and expected.........in fact with Bickley replacing Wells (0 and not 4) maybe Poole should have took the 4 points 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
