slyfox 97 Posted July 16, 2017 Only in speedway could they come up a ruling that a opposition rider can only take part if sanctioned by the home team's paramedic! That is unfair on Peterborough and the paramedic, putting undue pressure on them, damned if they do , damned if they don't. - And I say that as a Bears fan Charles Wright will have " served" his 9 days compulsory "time out" by Sunday therefore should be clear to take part. Travelling Bears fans won't know what team they can expect to see riding for us until just before the meeting - plain daft IMO. IT STINKS Apparently Ged Rathbone was overheard to say yesterday at the British Youth Championship at Redcar yesterday that he has already had a word with the Peterborough medic and it is already agreed that Charles Wright will be ruled unfit to ride. As you say the rule says 9 days, BSPA told Redcar on Monday Charles would be clear to ride today. Only for something to go in behind the scenes (just like the Glasgow fiasco) and Redcar are told on Wednesday he would have to checked on Sunday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slyfox 97 Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) At what time will Vatcher announce Redcar's team? Probably gave it to Kevin Keay yesterday at the Youth Championships at Redcar yesterday (but hang on he is well known to change his mind) so he may ask for 2 medicals on Jason Garity as well as Charles Wright then tell us we have to use N L guests. Nothing surprises me now with BSPA attitude to Redcar. Edited July 16, 2017 by Sly Fox 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pure fantasy , somebody overheard somebody saying this or that, I think the on duty paramedic has the integrity to make his own mind up without advice from unqualified people. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets wait and see. It may be the Peterborough's win at all costs attitude that's behind it. Plus who made the BSPA change their decision from Monday when they said to Redcar Charles was clear to ride today at Peterborough to Wednesday when they said a Peterborough medic had to check him today. As Redcar Team manager JItendra Duffill says in the local Teesside paper yesterday what can the medic check apart from looking into his eyes. Jitendra is a qualified optician maybe he will be allowed an opinion today. His own doctor would be better qualified to check him over as he will know his medical records. The only way to be sure is to do a head scan (or wait 9 days to see if there have been any after affects. Which Charles is reporting there are not any) as i said earlier IT STINKS.

Probably common practice just to check after such injury despite the lay off. Can check alertness, reactions, balance etc, you don't need medical records for that because we know what happened. Mountains and molehills spring to mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I have already said it's up to the on duty paramedic to decide if he is fit or not and has nothing to do with any speedway management from either team or is it you do not trust the integrity of a QUALIFIED paramedic.

Nothing surprises me now with BSPA attitude to Redcar. If Vatcher has an input he will probably book medical school for Jason and Charles at 4.30 pm at a hospital in Manchester, then penalise Redcar 3 points for failure to declare their team. impossible ??? Nope, we are talking Vatcher here. The guy is killing the sport single handed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can check alertness, reactions, balance etc, you don't need medical records for that because we know what happened. Mountains and molehills spring to mind. Been in Speedway for over 40 years and never ever heard that a rider has to have a medical just before a meeting at the track to prove his fitness after a 9 day concussion lay off. Why could he not have gone to his doctor for a fitness note. No he has the expense of traveling over 100 miles from Manchester at his own cost be told he maybe he cannot ride. Not common practice, just another one of those rules made up for Redcar again this year. Mr Vatcher needs to get real and stop letting some teams who seem to have more influence than others talk him in to idiotic decisions that bear no resemblance to the rule book.
