Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted September 17, 2016 I assume Ipswich are also there next Friday, seems a bit strange to have a double header, if Edinburgh lose they'll have plenty of spare dates to fit it in. Nope just Peterborough next week Ipswich will be coming up at a later date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,375 Posted September 17, 2016 So why bother with all the team changes? I have no beef with Peterborough.... You have Cookie!!! BUT would it not have been better to agree to the fixture last night? I understand you had riders missing but so did we Forgive us but it is hard to understand why Peterborough made these team changes and then refuse to come to Edinburgh before the cut off. I guess they must've had their reasons but it doesn't make sense to me I am not aPeterborough fan ,if you read my previous posts I have no sympathy for their situation,my point was referring to Cresent Girl saying you should just turn up to watch a match as long as there are 2 sets of riders .Why bother with leagues then,Promotions wonder why attendances are declining it's pretty obvious that this is one of the reasons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they must've had their reasons but it doesn't make sense to me Agreed , Peterborough's decision not to make a supreme effort to get their visit to the West Lothian rainforest over and done with before the 19th is the most mystifying decision of the season . Even if they had to roll up with some guests and r/r , then so what - nothing ventured and all that . Anyway when it does get run , the diddy team round of the play-offs should be an entertaining affair . Ipswich have improved out of all recognition recently and this tie is too close to call . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted September 17, 2016 The reasoning given by Pboro is that no facility available as riders off to SEC and Pardubice meetings. Therefore it wouldve been 4 NL riders not guests and r/r. Can see there point but why sign riders who cant commit? Seems all the eggs went in the basket marked 'win the 2 home meetings' which became a contender for the worlds largest omlette! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Johnston1 38 Posted September 17, 2016 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.

I wasn't to amused finishing my holiday and going to a meeting with 6 guest's. I think I will give the speedway a miss for the rest of the season (Berwick have completed all matches). The Peterborough rider's will have made travel arrangement's before they signed with Peterborough. Who would pay for them to change their plans? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it this will be your first visit ,I think you're in for a culture shock Add another £1 if you pay on the day.There is a £2 difference. Add programme £2.80 and parking £2.00 and if you go to the local chippie just up the road they have the audacity to charge 4p for a manky plastic fork.
