hyderd 1,216 Posted May 6, 2017 Well if the match can't be rescheduled I hope the R Tungate of last night is the one that turns up next time at the NSS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 6, 2017 Ignore me. We get priority I've just been told as he rode for us last year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted May 6, 2017 New for this year..., a) The Original Fixture if there is a clash with a re-arranged Fixture 1st priority to the owner of the rider c) 2nd priority to the previous season club d) 3rd priority to the league in which the owner club is a member. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep that's right that's why i questioned the poster that said he would be riding at Workington. Plus i do not understand why we are riding on Sat the 5th of August if Bjerre gets through to the SEC finals The following Friday(our normal race night) non of the three clubs are riding so could they have not arranged the fixture for then as we would have a full strength team and Workington would not have Cookie missing a match. After last weeks result i would think that two full strenght teams would attract a large crowd but if Bjerre is missing again with a Nat league guest in his place and the Rebels even stronger with Hougaard it could keep a lot of fans away.

No Bjerre or Cook, Somerset would be foolish to allow this one to be changed now. Just more poor fixture planning as a situation like that should never occur.

Totally agree with you, but in the interest of speedway ie declining support, the BSPA should step in and insist on a more suitable date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perton Wolf 396 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Totally agree with you, but in the interest of speedway ie declining support, the BSPA should step in and insist on a more suitable date. Maybe Somerset will agree............Wolves only just recently agreed to change their meeting date at Leicester who were due to miss Kim Nilsson and Kacper Gomolski with no facility allowed.

ouch 1,191 Posted May 12, 2017 Except for The Aces. We've always been very accommodating with regards fixture changes but it's rarely reciprocated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) If there's no cooperation we just use the Matt Ford rules. It would be unfair on the Aces fans to run a meeting with a sub standard team so we cancel the meeting well in advance. Apparently, nothing anyone could do about it. 🤔 Edited May 12, 2017 by Aces51 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somerset beat us at the NSS with both teams missing a heat leader, why then would they not feel they could do it again with both teams at full strength.
