I couldn't say if the tyre was on, which is legal or over the line tbh, and it's not because it was a Lynn rider. You can just see Starman in his John McEnroe stance shouting "chalk dust , you didnt see the chalk dust? You cannot be serious" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I don't remember saying that -- I think your immaturity is showing. Instead of having a dig at me why not just enjoy Poole's achievement (whatever the circumstances are) ? You never know what may be round the corner and I can assure you if you are a true speedway supporter you will be heartbroken if your track closes. ''Top league'' British speedway is on a downward spiral and your club needs other clubs to race against. Enjoy it while you can and remain dignified. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely wasn't a dig, I was surprised you described yourself as neutral when previous Facebook convo's have said different. Unless you have changed your mind now? Anyway I am not bothered enough to have a massive debate about it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely use Facebook now but do remember a certain conversation with you when you were friendly and thanked me for some good advice. Continue to enjoy your speedway.

Fromafar 10,375 Posted October 11, 2018 Think the difference in ability of the riders is one reason the the racing has deteriorated.Lambert and Harris proved that last night.The Premiership is at its lowest standard.Surely can't survive much longer.Either 1 league or Squad System for Premiership is the way to go,this guesting lark is making a mockery of an already Mickey Mouse sport. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) 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). The rule says nothing about 'staying down' or intent. In my view it's all about preventing the classic scenario of a re-run resulting in a total different result from that which was almost assured before the stoppage. In last nights case the ref did the right thing, it was highly unlikely that Klindt was going to pass the two Lynn riders. Had he been right behind them, and with a fair chance of passing at least one of them, then I'm sure the ref would have had all 3 riders restart from their original gate positions. I think it's a fair rule. Edited October 11, 2018 by woofers 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
