U are correct but like I've been told before on another scenario by a former promoter when.refused a goodwill gesture........"You're a speedway supporter so you have to accept it!" I never went to that track again while he was the promoter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No contact or apology from Birmingham Speedway so far - that's the most annoying thing. Speedway promoters haven't got the first idea about customer relations. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they followed the rulebook and that’s what it states. 8.2.1 I) A refusal to undergo Anti Doping testing will be regarded for the purpose of application of penalties, identical to a positive test. 8.2.1 j) A rider who refuses to submit themselves prior to the start f heat 1to Anti Doping testing will be automatically excluded from further participation in that particular event. 8.2.1 z) If the outcome of the test(s) result is an immediate exclusion from the event, reserves or TS may be used to take the programmed rides where the excluded rider may have ridden Seems to have been followed to the letter.

As I have said elsewhere Plymouth were treated in exactly the same way at Oxford last year. BB was tested before the meeting and was “withdrawn as medically unfit” about 30mins before the start, therefore Birmingham had to be treated in the same way. Not saying it is at all fair for the fans or the rest of the team, but the rider/riders (and managers in some cases) know what is allowed and what isn’t. If it’s correct that he would not supply a second sample then he only has him self to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get full access until heat 9 but I must say the entertainment in those last 7 heats was better than a lot of full matches I've watched this season. I've since watched the whole match using the 'rewind' function and it also included most of the previous year's match against Glasgow. I also got a reply to my email about the problem. I definitely feel I got value for the £11.99 I paid and won't be asking for a refund. I watch a lot of speedway using streaming services and most, if not all, run into technical problems now and again. It's usually outwith their control and they try their best to sort the situation as quickly as possible. I'm just happy I can see so much speedway these days - I'm old enough to remember having to wait until the following morning to buy a Daily Mirror to find out how your team got on the previous night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly! I remember Danny Bird promising rider did we ever see him again after failing one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
