ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted July 23, 2018 Looks like it going to be lowest crowd of season despite the £10 deal if you went last Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedy swindon pete 509 Posted July 23, 2018 Having to stay at home and watch the match on the box tonight. A first for me with a home tv meeting I think. Bit worried about how French Dave’s wrist will hold up and the prospect of entire sections of crowd going missing in the dust plumes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been watering and grading the track for the last 45 minutes. Edited July 23, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theblueboy 960 Posted July 23, 2018 Anyone confirm that BT are pulling out next season? Supposedly North and South leagues next season with a number of teams returning including Reading, Oxford and Exeter... Can’t verify the information but has anyone heard anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theblueboy 960 Posted July 23, 2018 Just now, Steve Shovlar said: Someone been telling you fibs. Quite probably. Seemed strange re Reading, Oxford and Exeter, as nothing heard previously, which is why I asked the question. There could be more to the tv deal and the league structure.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 23, 2018 Bellego should go from 15 metres. But he isn’t. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have thought it would have been completely soaked and a bit 'slippery' for a few races.. Going to be a dust bowl... Have they not got the water?

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 23, 2018 Crikey watching a speedway rider shut the throttle off half way down every straight. What is all that about Jack Smith?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Come on the Skipper 75 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) From the 2018 regulations 15.8.1 If the Referee stops a heat, following an incident or accident, where the rider causing the stoppage and his team partner were in third and fourth place and a re-run is called with one of those riders excluded, the Referee has the sole discretion to order that the remaining team partner will start on a 15 metre handicap in gate position c or d (the opposing team does not change positions). Edited July 23, 2018 by Come on the Skipper Added wording (not to clause from regulations) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a team is on the losing end of a 5-1 and one of the riders falls, the other rider should start from 15 metres in the rerun. Simon Stead should know this and been on the phone to the ref. Mind you the ref could be the same geezer from Cardiff on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
