Well they both obviously can ride on an off night (pretty sure all clubs have to have at least one anyway) as they are doing it next week! Should have done it last week as well.

Both Monarchs and Glasgow were left in limbo in KO cup matches until Birmingham deigned to ride us at Perry Barr in Q/F. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have done it last week as well. Seeing you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about I’ll give you some information to help. The club tried to run the 2nd leg of the Redcar match last Tuesday/Wednesday, however there wasn’t enough volunteers/track staff to stage it. Hence why we had to go with Friday again. Thankfully we have enough staff to cover the meeting this Tuesday. Hope this clears it up a bit for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slyfox 97 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) MPT declared himself fit to ride for Peterborough tomorrow. If he comes through that ok ? will he than ride for Redcar on Tuesday. If he does he will need to do 5 rides as he is one of the R/R rides for James S. Hope he is ok, but it will mean him riding 3 times in 4 days Mon/Tues/Thurs. With 2 dodgy fingers seems a bit of an ask. Edited October 10, 2021 by slyfox 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are right in saying the speedway hasn't used the football first aid room for a rider (was once used for a spectator I think a few seasons ago). I have quoted Ian Rae from facebook in the following post about your second point (if there is a county ambulance it is usually called for). The ambulance can leave the stadium if it has to but usually only as a last resort (used up at the training track in Duns sometimes). Ian Rae Berwick, for a number of years now have two Ambulance’s ( one is our own, the other from a private company )and two Paramedics at every meeting. I think Ian will know better than yourself or me? It is in speedway friends on a post from Roger Hutchins if you would like to check. You will also see this confirmed by Dennis so I would think Dennis and Ian know what they are talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
