Adder 94 Posted June 2, 2014 As I pointed out on the Swindon v BV thread last week, the only way to stop these situations is to rule that any meeting where the result is still in question has to be re-run if abandoned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 2, 2014 You did, he did indeed. Plonker Pearson strikes again.. He also suggested the British Final, being held at Wolverhampton, should be pointer to who should be picked. Can't think of 2 tracks less alike than Lynn and Wolverhampton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,697 Posted June 2, 2014 Calling a result after 10 heats is way too early IMO, it should be at least 12 or 13.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
van wolfswinkel 635 Posted June 2, 2014 Rosco is one hell of a big baby...but Swindon's best-ever boss. Roscos Rampant Red Rockin Robbing Robins luckily live to fight again. Must do better on Thursday against the Lions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noggin 1,388 Posted June 2, 2014 Calling a result after 10 heats is way too early IMO, it should be at least 12 or 13.... Agreed, you wouldn't get a footie match abandoned on 75mins with the result standing, with fewer and fewer fixtures these days, I'm sure abandoned matches could be fitted in.

Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 2, 2014 As I pointed out on the Swindon v BV thread last week, the only way to stop these situations is to rule that any meeting where the result is still in question has to be re-run if abandoned. Maybe there should be some kind of Duckworth Lewis type system, whereby Birmingham for example when this is rerun should get credit for being in front when it was rained off. The rain isn't the fault of either side and if this was brought in perhaps abandonments would be slightly less controversial. It couldn't be any more complicated than DL and it would give Pearson & Tatum something to talk about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
