As soon as the bikes started up, the red lights (apparently) came on and so red flags were shown. There has to be a sequence and catalogue of events. That’s all I’m saying. Yes we know riders pushed off whilst parade was still on, what we don’t know is why. No marshal should be in the middle of track whilst bikes on track. Even if on pits gate. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said on the other thread about this as the person i was with said to me blimey thats a big flag (ludicrous i know but it was her first time at speedway). I agreed and then the rest of the situation developed from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 11, 2019 Interesting ruling led by Mr J Cook’s old friend Mr N Vatcher. Surprised that the only Eastbourne rider punished is Mr E Kennett, when I distinctly saw 2 Eastbourne riders piling into the scrum. Mr C Vissing appears to have received a ban for deliberately breaking the tapes. Surprised that the Eastbourne employee allegedly Mr P Dugard not censured for his aggression towards Mr C Cook. Given the haphazard frequency of the fixtures in British speedway shouldn’t bans be for a number of meeting rather than a number of days? I do hope that the many Eastbourne “co promoters” and their announcer take heed of the results of their overtly provocative personal remarks made during the “ pre meeting parade” . No mention of suggested improvements to the Eastbourne track conditions which started this whole sorry affair. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing that started this whole sorry affair was Craig Cook and his attitude and the only thing wrong with the track was the holes Cook and his team mates dug in it after the referee had already inspected it and passed it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vissing was in the thick of all that and is clearly visible wrestling with someone. He hasn't been done for breaking the tapes good grief. What were these overtly provocative remarks aswell ? The ones i heard with pretty tame and certainly immature but not that bad imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully agree with you old bob at herne bay. As the ruling/verdict stands riders involved could miss a different quota of 'ban' meetings meaning one could be penalised more than another.
