The same sickening cretins that massage the riders egos and suck up to them on social media probably, trying to act all pally with them. Yes, it's a meaningless meeting in the grander scheme, but it is an official meeting that needs completing. Can we look forward to Man City's top boys failing to turn up to their last league game of the season if Liverpool have already won it by then? Letting the riders get away with crap like this is a big part of the problem over here and why we remain a joke. Imagine a Pole pulling this stunt at home. PZM would just suspend them. What an excellent post, every word well spoken 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely in situations like these common sense should comes to the fore.. Wouldn't a pay packet be enough to make riders want to race, even though the meeting doesn't mean anything?

Certainly the Workington v Lakeside, Buxton v Coventry and Eastbourne v Mildenhall league fixtures were never staged, and I thought failure to do so incurred a hefty fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester 34 Posted October 9, 2019 How is anyone supposed to take a local rivalry between King's Lynn and Ipswich seriously when Chris Harris switches between so-called arch rivals depending on which day of the week it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) pouring down with heavy bursts of rain in the last few hours. Not surprised. Hopefully a date when we don’t clash with other meetings. Edited October 9, 2019 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully a date when we don’t clash with other meetings. At least the rain could see sense, a timely intervention. Be interesting to see if those riders will be better in time for the rerun...

Only meetings I miss is through being on holiday but tonight I just can’t be bothered to attend. This season ended at Ipswich and will be looking forward to next season, in whatever form it takes. Make your mind up! On another thread you said that you wouldn't be going if Poole are not in the PL! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
