Biffa 84 Posted August 4, 2023 Don’t forget that sometimes Scottish Law and English Law are different. Police closed the meeting for further investigation according to Greg Blair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,441 Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Danny Ford has said, “Anyone who was watching the live stream like I was, it looked nasty. Hopefully Craig is okay as well as that cameraman, because it was quite nasty.” He added: “I’ve not seen anything like that (before) and that makes you reassess things. “Certified members of the press are allowed on the outer part of the track, so it makes you rethink our own situation, just to make sure we’re covered in every regard with regards to health and safety because these situations can cause irreparable damage to be honest.” https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/23703225.danny-ford-edinburgh-v-poole-pirates-abandonment/ Edited August 4, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We should imagine the police would want to speak to certain witnesses plus view the footage from BSN. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,686 Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) As already been said the guesswork and I heard this and that happened isn’t the time or place. Freak incident that I hope to never see again. All the best to Peter and hope he makes a full recovery he was responding to the paramedics which is fantastic news. Also hope Craig is okay I know he struggles mentally as it is and I know he thought the worst at first, hopefully we will see him back in action sooner rather than later. Also hope Adam is okay says he’s broken something in his shoulder area just not sure what, but was in good spirits still. And for people asking for refunds on BSN you’re an embarrassment.

Secondly so sorry for all the Poole fans who made the 11 hour journey up to Edinburgh at a very big expense. A couple of hundred quid in fuel plus everything on top. A freak accident. Such a shame. Good post, hope he’s ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well give them it & also politely ask them for a donation towards the camera man to help cover his cost of living bills etc as most camera men are self employed & it costs them to upload any images the take for us fans to enjoy 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only add that my very best wishes go to the cameraman and Craig and hopefully they'll both make a full recovery. As for the moaners and refund seekers it would be good to see people display some common sense and respect for once. I hope they set up a fund to help those injured last night to at least help them with the short term difficulties that are going to be faced by the victim and his family. Sadly all the old values in this country were virtually eradicated during the Thatcher years along with the current despicable cronies who have wrecked this country.. Whatever happened to empathy, integrity and respect eh. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was she that powerful that she’s still having an impact? Next you’ll be saying that one of her successors, Tony Blair (PM for nearly as long) did no harm. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
