TheScotsman 2,483 Posted September 15, 2016 Definitely tyretrax. Health should always come first even in mad speedway riders! Fortunately it's not a critical match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted September 16, 2016 Can someone explain how Dan Bewley was going to ride in this meeting if he was fit? It's re-arranged AFTER the BV Colts meeting at Coventry and the BSPA had already decided earlier in the year that original NL meetings come ahead of re-arranged meetings. Or did the BSPA get that wrong? Meaning Scunthorpe were right to appeal the guest for him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or did the BSPA get that wrong? Meaning Scunthorpe were right to appeal the guest for him? You mean like August 26th, when Bewley rode in the re-arranged Edinburgh v Glasgow KOC fixture, ahead of a Belle Vue Colts v Kent fixture. And not only that, but look at the NEG next to Mitchell Davey's name in the NL Green Sheets. To be honest, it didn't make a lot of difference to Scunny's season. It might mean our finishing position is 11th rather than 10th, but that's immaterial. But as a point of principle, it does rankle that Edinburgh could get away with tracking a team outside of the rules, and were allowed to keep the points only on a technicality.

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted September 16, 2016 Ipswich have been told they can't use Davey as a no7 as doesn't qualify for that position... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted September 16, 2016 Ipswich have been told they can't use Davey as a no7 as doesn't qualify for that position... He does qualify but someone at the BSPA is bending over backwards to make sure he can't. Pretty sure a rule was made up halfway through the season that only applies to him. Real shame for the guy as he's done nothing wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8scot 589 Posted September 16, 2016 Much as we will miss young Dan tonight, I am glad common sense has prevailed and he is taking his health seriously Take care lad and look after yourself 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,953 Posted September 16, 2016 Ipswich have been told they can't use Davey as a no7 as doesn't qualify for that position... He only qualifies when Edinburgh want to use him. He doesn't when it's anyone else. All the best Rob 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted September 16, 2016 Speedway has no credibility, 4 guests for Somerset. It's not fair on Edinburgh fans who would like to see the high flying League Leaders, only for a Somerset Select to turn up. Surely this fixture could have been re arranged. The top team in the league visit with only 3 of the riders who got them into that position,that's Speedway nowadays,a shambles . That's why I cant be bothered to attend anymore, just watch it on TV.

Arson fire 4,785 Posted September 16, 2016 Dan the Wee Man still missing on Friday. Bummer. if the DVLA have revoked his provisional licence ( allegedly) how the hell can he be deemed anywhere near fit to race a speedway bike?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted September 16, 2016 Only heard one non-official person mention the DVLA licence. So don't know the real story. But I suppose if a medic says he's fit then that's a more up to date status. But I hope the lad does what's sensible for his health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,201 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) It's common practice for your GP to revoke your licence for concussion but the medic at the track usually grade his condition when the accident occurs and with him being kept in for 2 night observation must have been a pretty bad crash with the minimum time off the bike starting with 12 days for his age group but the doctor has to sign him off to ride if the doctor does not sign he can't ride it was Dan father that told me about his licence at Workington himself Edited September 16, 2016 by mac101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,907 Posted September 16, 2016 Speedway has no credibility, 4 guests for Somerset. It's not fair on Edinburgh fans who would like to see the high flying League Leaders, only for a Somerset Select to turn up. Surely this fixture could have been re arranged. In fact, this was an excellent meeting, a last-heat decider with some very good racing. Good entertainment for spectators who might be less-concerned with the make-up of the two teams and just enjoy watching the show. Had to smile when it was announced that Peterborough had finally agreed to attend Armadale next Friday, too late for their hopes of making the play-offs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
