racers and royals

He had pulled out today.

Meeting OFF now on Monday 18th September

Poland could be in a bit of trouble here- better racing as the track has settled down. After 12 heats Poland 25 Latvia 23 Denmark 22 Germany 2 High speed crash for the Latvian- the start girls were so lucky the bike missed them by a foot !!! Another high speed crash for Woryna in the re-run.

Great until the home team are up by about 16 points after 6 heats and the match is then a non event.

You could try and email the Torun club and ask them if they are going to sell any standing tickets. They used to only sell them when the seats nearly all had gone.

Looks as if MJJ and Smolinski have been replaced by Bellego and reserve Bober

David Bellego and oskar bober could be riding replacing MJJ and Smolinski

Anyone watching ?

Yes the old injury that hasn`t stopped him riding in Sweden, Poland and open meetings - only the UK. Has he ever done a shared event meeting ?

Didn`t stop him riding in a big open meeting in Germany last night https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/80774/night-of-the-fights-w-cloppenburgu So we have Robert in Germany- Poland easy to get to or flight to England and flight to Poland. Another rider taking the pi$$

To be honest it doesn`t matter what the rule says because the SCB have a dispensation rule- and in this instance because of the cock-up by Swindon! and the ref it should be paramount that this is exercised.

The dictionary meaning of dispensation= exemption from a rule or usual requirement. now the SCB rules Specifically the powers of the SCB are: 1.0 To produce these regulations and have the sole responsibility for all or any dispensations so the referee was incompetent. Alan Rossister was cheating through not knowing the simplest of rules after his many years of team managing. Belle Vue should have realised what was going on but didn`t- therefore some blame is on them. however the SCB have the powers in their rule book to do the right thing and amend the result.

Training cancelled- raining. it is however expected to clear up before scheduled start time- and it better do because if off today tomorrow`s re-staging would cause postponement of both Extraleague matches, edit cleared up nicely in krosno now- sun out.

Practice cancelled- raining !!!!! Edit rain now stopped but had a lot of rain.

I`m not sure in that case if C more will make it available to the UK and Poland

Junior races as well as senior.

So putting on 2 extra heats in the main match, saved them money over the 2nd half- I don`t think so !!!

Well he didn`t therefore Swindon used an illegal rider(that was the last chance they had to comply with the rules) and therefore the SCB need to remove the points scored in the illegal ride.

It`s so easy to blame the promoters for everything wrong in the sport today. they have done things for the punters, like giving us 15 competitive heats, instead of the farce that the 2nd halves became.

For fear of repeating myself- this was a 1st leg of a 2 legged AGGREGATE match- no Tr`s heat 15 noms would have been the same- please tell me how the course of last nights match would have panned out differently ?

Find the ruling the SCB made on the Peterborough v Poole match a few years back- I think that would answer your point- however last night was the 1st leg of an aggregate competition- so isn`t it doubly important that the score is corrected. it wasn`t Belle Vue who cocked up(although they should have noticed) and should they suffer the consequences of the error ?

He also took the pith !!!

Without both- we wouldn`t have speedway.

So tell me why was the result was amended a few years ago in the Peterborough v Poole match when a wrong +5% was used by Poole for an away guest rider. points were taken away. didn`t the ref cock-up that night as well ?

The old tac sub rule was dropped for 2 reasons 1 the promoters couldn`t afford it 2 the 2nd strings and reserves earnings were suffering because of being taken out of rides(sometimes their easiest as well) and they just couldn`t make speedway pay,
