This got me thinking, and while cricket use the Duckworth-Lewis method for determining the results of cricket matches which have been curtailed for various reasons (including inclement weather), maybe speedway could introduce a similar system - we could have the Laurel and Hardy method. Trying that at the minute and it's not working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickRushbrook 202 Posted October 22, 2018 Still think it's unfair tbh. Just race the remaining heats with the scores as they were. Perhaps not the rules but a darn sight fairer than this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king junior 394 Posted October 22, 2018 Nice of Lakeside to offer £7 off the admission. I'm sure everyone will be rushing back on Wednesday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickRushbrook 202 Posted October 22, 2018 I would hope that Peterborough do the 'honourable thing' and name the same team as Sunday. Anything else would be unfair surely. 20 points down on the night and get another crack at 0-0. Total joke. Surely if Peterborough pull this off, nobody in their right mind can say it's fair. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
