He really is accident prone🤕

I haven't seen any of the meeting, just reading comments on here but I'm not particularly a fan of video replays. Plenty of contact is made in the sport but much of this is not enough to create a fall but unfortunately I think replays encourage riders to do exactly that as they know they'll get back in the re-run. I've seen it so many times, from Harris in a British Final to Nicki P & Hans A in GPs. Those who choose to stay on, as they should, can feel aggrieved but to fall on purpose risks injury to self and others. There shouldn't need to be a fall for exclusions to occur. As I said, this is not about this particular incident as I haven't seen it.

It doesn’t matter which Team you support it was pretty poor situation all round.IMO.Dishington should be reprimanded for his handling of it.Thats Speedway though.👎

This whole incident was how not to run a sport. I was watching the stream and the angle definately backed the referee's original call and it should have stayed that way. The way it unfolded was embarassing to say the least, even the phone footage made it a 50 50 call as you could say Cook was leading and Battye should not have gone for a pass that was not on which to me was what Jackobson did trying to go around Battye on that same turn. It's a big manouve to try and pass around the outside at Berwick and pull it off that high. Greg should still have been no where near the box to be in a position to show the referee anything but as for Willie to actually watch it well I still can not belive he did never mind then change his already made announcement. Was not going to change the meeting much as Berwick were fantastic out of the gate espesially prior to ht9 but was still wrong.

Is this being streamed anywhere, please?

And no mention of supporters footage from mobiles

He best come out of his box and be in the crowd.Gives you better evidence apparently

Ennit exciting

Bear in mind its Championship Speedway not Premier League football .

In fairness.... Dave does have an iPhone 17.... With "ultra zoom"..... Considering it is UK Speedway I am quite impressed that phone footage was used ... I see the sport more in line to use a "sketch artist" like they use in Crown Courts for the TV News... "Give us half and hour and I will have it drawn up. What colour was Cookie again?"...

You are aware of the state of British Speedway, right? Lol

11.23 available now, down to 10.16 with the May averages (unless every replacement is equal or lower to rider being replaced). I don't see them making changes, at least not this early.

Adam rode today in Poland and had to withdraw after a nasty looking crash.

The referee should clearly be taken to task.

Surely to goodness Northampton have already had a conversation with SCB and it's track inspector about what is required to get a licence and what they need to have in place before his visit. Tuesday should just be a check to make sure it has been done. I would also be amazed if someone hasn't already ridden a bike around there to test that there are no hidden horrors in the surface. I cannot believe that this has all been left to chance on Tuesday

Note nothing about using mobile phone footage from an " impartial fan " on the 3rd bend 🤔

Holder having a nice little payday today, £30k+ purely on points.

Per the Regs 02.2.11 Duties of Referee g) where provided the Referee must use multi angle re-play technology supplied by Eurosport, BSN and the tracks own streaming service via a monitor

The 'beams' that you refer to are not going to be cut off. They support the top rope for the stock cars and are an essential part of the safety fence. They have the same thing at Kings Lynn so why would they need to be removed at Northampton ?

There are many parts of this that need to be fully clarified. I don't see how the Chairman of an organisation that has led this can survive. Firstly, what is actually in riders contracts this year and how does it compare to previous years? Secondly, who is actually saving the money? I believe Ben Barker had previously said that riders had £5 per race deducted to cover insurance. If that was the case, and that is not happening, then surely it is the riders and not the clubs making a saving. If the riders were aware then they could have used this to take out their own personal accident insurance, as some have published that they have done. Whether that is comparable is another matter. If the clubs were paying the insurance previously, and now are not and are making a saving, then surely they are complicit in this - even more so if they didn't explain this to their riders. If clubs either took out insurance to the same value, or advised their riders of the change - allowing riders to negotiate a contract so that they were no worse off, then the club may be exonerated. It remains a completely unedifying, and very seriously situation

He must be "working from home"

Quite possibly as a lot of work is involved. However, and fingers crossed it does, it looks like you could build a lot of speed down the straights.

Definitely ,obvious to everyone…

Very impressed by pedersen got to be one the best signings of the season along with klima,based on what we've seen so far.

Good for you guys hope it helps the crowd levels heard it was half decent crowd today hopefully they all return
