Teromaafan 586 Posted September 19, 2021 Another bloody farce. This is not funny in view of the travelling involved. If the cut off date is fixed and the fixture cannot be completed in time, what happens to the available points? Are they scrubbed, shared or handed to the away team? This is speedway so I’ll wait to be informed of the amateurish contingency the governing body has in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scenario is Poole win by more than six against Redcar and Glasgow beat Birmingham on Friday it will be Poole Glasgow. if Redcar get a point at Poole and Glasgow win Friday it would be decided on aggregate points. Redcar get more than a point then they finish 2nd. And Stewart Dickson has shot himself in the foot . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If had been left alone would have been raceable is the view from our end of the pits Again why are the away team having control over what happens. Aren't you supposed to set up the track for the home team? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what has happened in the prem before, you get any points when you complete the meeting. So if it after the cut off they don't count towards the playoffs but will put them on the league table.

mikebv 10,286 Posted September 19, 2021 If only someone could invent track covers.... Perfect for meetings like today where a dry evening follows rain before the match... Would also give fans confidence to attend who may currently decide to stay away if there is the slightest hint of the meeting not taking place due to a wet track... Maybe one day someone will invent these track covers... Probably need someone from NASA or somewhere like that to get involved though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems this season especially wet meetings have been abandoned or postponed where the common consensus has said that the track "looked" OK. In Poland a rider from each Team goes out 1/2Hr before meeting starts to access track condition.Why is that not done here,or is digging you heel in the track tell you everything.Joke!! Dan Thompson made them look stupid.The other had no intention of even trying.Heard a few disgruntled regulars saying they have had enough,which is not good news. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree, if we manage to beat Birmingham and Poole don’t lose at home to Redcar then we are safe in second. Like others have said, Howarth didn’t look happy from the off!

There wasn’t the slightest hint of the meeting not taking place because of wet track IMO. Even the staunchest Tigers fans must be wondering what was going on.
