Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted August 11, 2019 I think that’s fair and consistent towards the riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odds On 373 Posted August 11, 2019 a level of consistency needs to be shown by the SCB, how they have come to those actual punishments is bemusing to say the least but then again nothing surprises me in this sport anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinderfella 865 Posted August 11, 2019 Ironic that the two riders with the lesser bans miss more meetings lol. Isn't that typical of British Speedway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,662 Posted August 11, 2019 Just now, Crumpet77 said: I think Cook has got off lightly tbh, and should be NL guests only. Any mention of guest facilities Steve ? I'm sure the clubs will be allowed facilities, why shouldn't they Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
