He would ride Xmas Day if he could... And, unlike others, his season doesnt stop on Oct 31 dont forget... He will have about 12 end of season awards ceremonies to attend... Must be favourite for "Rider Of The Year" and "Most Points Scored" too in a fair few... Edited October 28, 2022 by mikebv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,069 Posted October 28, 2022 It comes to something when those who make the rules dont even know their own rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk127 1,360 Posted October 28, 2022 The thread running earlier this year about British Speedway being a joke seems quite apt. How come one sport can end up with such an incompetent bunch ruling over what use to be an enjoyable past time but has become a farce. Well done all on the top table, you have earned dick heads of the year for what must be the umpteenth time. No wonder Speedway is on it knees. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris116 756 Posted October 28, 2022 Did the referee not have a copy of the rule book or did the referee fail to read the rule book? The team managers also appear not to know the rule book as well as they should and even if you can't remember all the rules knowing where things are in the rule book and having the ability to actually read the relevant sections should be a minimum qualification for the job. Heads should roll or at the very least some urgent re-training is required. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's the team managers who really should've kept schtum, rules can't be changed on a whim but an amendment done for next season if everyone agrees?
