Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted June 21, 2015 Yes, the latest example of Plymouth's disrespect for the paying public of Tyneside: will the BSPA coffers be swelled by a fine? 15-9 and 4 heats, incidentally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Maybe you should have a look to see why Plymouth have a rider missing before you decide to start typing on your keyboard. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted June 21, 2015 Mr. Blobby, sorry I can't get my phone to quote, but to reply to your post, the point isn't why Benko is not here (everyone will have nothing but sympathy for him and his family)but the Plymouth promotion's failure to replace him. I wouldn't have commented if it were not for the history of Plymouth no-shows (i don't remember Ben Barker ever turning up). Lewy, why would the position have been different if, God forbid, Benko had been injured? My point is that turning up without a full team is poor. Possibly an unworthy thought, but I wonder if more effort might have been put in if this meeting had been at Plymouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted June 21, 2015 I dont see the issue with the post questioning why Plymouth wailed to get a guest. It's shocking, unprofessional and not fair on fans or team members to NOT have a rider in to replace Benko. Are there really no 3 pointers within reasonable travelling distance of Newcastle?

toontrader 72 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Every effort was made to get a guest unfortunately no one woud ride. You are not party to all the facts so it would be reasonble not to make assumptions in this instance Its a sad reflection on the state of speedway. Not long ago teams would be able to borrow a local junior and have up to eight to choose from who had turned up for an after meeting ride and would be desperate for their chance Edited June 21, 2015 by toontrader 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soupy 556 Posted June 21, 2015 The trouble is if the rider is not up to speed he will have to take 3 rides.Do not know why simota did not have 7 rides as was only heat 2 plymouth had to go with 1 rider only not the other 2 heats as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
