Everything would’ve been fine last night as the second ambulance was due to arrive to collect James in 15/20 minutes which would’ve gave us plenty time to do the meeting, unfortunately the ambulance go told to go to another incident on route to the stadium which left us in the predicament that we were in last night. Unfortunate that none available, but it does show the predicament that can arise in this situation. Edited October 9, 2021 by Fromafar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wtf 621 Posted October 9, 2021 In my experience you can't cover for every eventuality. Additional medical cover if available and affordable is preferable Sure. But you have to draw the line somewhere between what's affordable and reasonable, and commercially viable. It's a reality of motorsport not just speedway, that occasionally events happen that cannot be reasonably anticipated without assuming everything will go wrong all the time and we can cater for every eventuality but btw the entry fee is now £67. People who are going to be enraged by the delay, and feel victimised by it are the same people who will feel the same when they run out of programmes, or delay a meeting for 30 minutes so riders can see where they are going, or that the food is 50p too expensive, or something. the professionally offended will always find reason to moan. I'd like to say maybe they shouldn't go, but most of them don't, they just come on here to moan. Speedway fans are customers, speedway is a product, it's up to each person to make a call on whether they want to buy the product for the price it's available or not. Edinburgh generally do things more professionally than most, last night circumstances caught them out. It happens 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it was mentioned that they have a first aid room as well. Seen Redcar mention the cost earlier in the season also. Maybe the promoters should be told there has to be adequate cover for any semi final and all matches in the play offs? Must have changed as during the Berwick v Glasgow meeting back in July we needed to wait 50 mins for an NHS ambulance to arrive when Jye crashed in Heat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted October 9, 2021 On Tuesday can Redcar now have. Guest for MPT & R/R for Sarj, or is it R/R for MPT & guest for Sarj ? speedy recovery to both riders as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have though it would be R/R for JS and Guest for MPT (Ben Barker fits looking at the averages). Plus Ryan Kinsley is due to ride for Kent that night. Do they get priority as their meeting was in place first. Could Redcar use a 3* rising star i.e. Leon Flint to replace Ryan who is on a 3 point average? If they could may make for an interesting night. Edited October 9, 2021 by slyfox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
