BSPA write certain rules which the SCB incorporate in their rule book. You don't like humour, do you? Been around the sport since 1971 so perfectly aware how it's governed. You?

bloom89 494 Posted October 4, 2019 So where is Bjerre? Haven’t seen anywhere as to why he’s not riding or can he just not be bothered to go to Edinburgh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamondlil 33 Posted October 4, 2019 Apparently it’s a recurrence of an old injury according to write up in the paper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aceslider 218 Posted October 4, 2019 Well I got that totally wrong! Assumed because Bloom89 is (according to profile) a Diamonds supporter that he/she was reporting signings for Newcastle. It sounded too good to be true, and it was! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) i watched this meeting on EMTV.racing was poor . i can now see why Edinburgh is called a trick track . lots of dummy lines and i dont think i would pay to watch racing there ! i am sure lots of others love it , but its not for me . so thats two meeting on EMTV i have seen and nothing to write home about . BTW , the coverage was good and no smashie and nicey talking while the racing was going on . good idea tho .. would deffo pay for it on a regular bases if i wanted to see certain other teams there .

The meeting referee contacted the BSPA Vice-Chairman and was told that he had approved Phillips riding at Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise the track was soaking and times were 5/6 seconds slower than normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scampispeedway 67 Posted October 5, 2019 Can I add the comment about the Edinburgh track as of the other Tracks I been to over the years, I liked the racing at Armadale as you needed track craft to get around and didn't need to make the gate like most of the others. I'm actually surprised that the meeting took place as the weather in Newcastle we had a lot of rain yesterday and this covered southern Scotland as well.
