eide67 199 Posted October 8, 2021 19 minutes ago, JanAndersen said: What time is the curfew?…… Curfew is 10pm at Armadale, but meeting now abandoned due to lack of medical cover as track ambulance had to take James to hospital because NHS quoted 'up to 12 hours' for NHS ambulance to arrive and track ambulance wouldn't have got back in time to run even 10 heats. Implication is that with current ambulance crisis (in Scotland at any rate) any rider being injured badly enough to require to go to hospital will mean automatic abandonment of meeting.

He's not risking himself for a lost cause when he has the other league final on Monday Need to start following Poland's lead. Was told that G Laguta was unfit for the first leg of the grand final on the Thursday so was banned from racing in the second leg due to the rider having to be out for a certain length of time (would stop all this nonsense of being fit one night and then suddenly being unfit the next after an injury). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you have double medical cover/ambulances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope his knee isn't too bad, that might hurt. Edited October 8, 2021 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted October 8, 2021 How about they just throw Edinburgh out of the play offs? How many times does speedway shoot itself in the foot time after time, should have adequate medical cover at all meetings just like all other forms of motorsport but it's all about trying to run a professional sport on the cheap. Hope the AGM discusses this plus track covers and the fact speedway shouldn't run into October anyway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but Poole can't wait till Tuesday at 10pm to decide who they want to face on the Wednesday. So would have to pick Leicester or delay the semi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
