Also Ben Cook could get some tips from his team mate Dan Bewley

I'm not saying it was just the bike situation. He prob did pick up an injury for the paramedics to check him over in the first place. But if he didn't pick up an injury, how would he have carried on? Unless someone lent him a bike? Anyway I asked others and they said it was both. So will go with that!

Yes, it is. If you click on pirates tv on the drop down menu on the website, you'll see it on there.

Though I am not sure how he could have carried on anyway if he ran out of bikes to use! Unless someone was willing to lend him one. He was declared fit to do the rerun for H2 according to speedway updates and withdrawn after that.

Normally just gets covered by the other reserve.

Not if he's withdrawn!! Edit - is that a new thing? Never seen that before!

I'm talking about more than tonight. Read properly.

Why?

Oh come on, if Poole were at Worky for example and missing Tom and Ben, you would call off would you? No chance imo. You'd be like 'let's go....' Won't be for much longer if he keeps telling people to save their money!

Well does he realise if no one goes, he ain't getting paid!

The guy does not like getting his own way! Worky wouldn't do it if it was the other way round imo.

Good job Vuolas was guesting for Sheffield last night otherwise he prob not made it over either! Unless he is based here anyway.

Depends how many Saturdays you have for home meetings as don't forget Worky ride Saturday as well. Though they are not riding this Saturday. However looks like the rain will win that one!

Yes, exactly. Not like anyone would be surprised or blame him for it.

Ermmm.... And Hagon said he is fine before the meeting tonight.

Just for @Gavan

They either under water it or over water it. Last few weeks not enough material, tonight too much material! Feels like I am in Goldilocks and the three bears lol.

Depends if this 'FIM ruling' is genuine and what facility you are allowed when it is used.

No, I don't think so.

He said Poland have priority under FIM rules. This was being debated on the Poole thread yesterday. So will be a bit deja vu for some people!

Personally would always prefer a guest to r/r, but I haven't checked to see which clubs aren't riding on Friday. Club gets punished more though imo. I would have thought it was due to 'Polish rules!' But if it is because of FIM then can't do much about it.

Track should ride a lot better this week considering all the rain we have had today!

Good luck with that! We are prob 4th in line priority wise. Didn't Charles Wright miss a meeting last season for Redcar because he was needed by his Polish team.

Not sure if it comes down as illness or withholding services. But would assume you get a facility for 28 days and then have to sign someone or use a guest up to 75% if his average.

Some probably do tbf. Generally speaking crowds seem to go down year on year rather than up.
