Bitter or what? If you had been at Armadale on that day or on any of the other seven that were rained off you would have understood why meetings were off. Do you really think the Edinburgh Promotion wanted these meetings off? You've been listening, too much, to our friends from the west, who are regularly on the wind up.

I would agree that the rules were not applied correctly and that you clearly would have been happy for Edinburgh to have run with 6 riders. Should this have happened at Plymouth I suspect you would not have been complaining.

Under art.18.10 Edinburgh were entitled to a Guest. Art.18.11.3 defines a guest as being someone who "must be in a current Team Declaration" Therefore Kevin Whelan was not eligible to fill the no6 spot. BUT Ruffdiamond was almost right, although I would say it was more in the best interests of the spectators to have 4 riders at the tapes in every race. Whelan would not have been expected to score any points and was only gifted his 2 points due to Devils riders coming to grief. Should the Authorities decide to amend the score the difference will only be a reduction of 2 in the match score from Edinburgh with no addition to Plymouth. Common sense was applied - hang on this is speedway when did common sense ever come into things?

18.11.6 No Rider, whose Team is in the Play-Offs may appear as a Guest in the Play-Offs.

Double header planned for 2nd September - Plymouth and Redcar - listed in BSPA fixture list.

Think he is being realistic after last night's performance unless JDC gives them a foot up the a...

Checked with another of our group, who was at the meeting, he was also of the opinion that JPB's machine did not touch the tapes, albeit he did catch them with his helmet peak which does not warrant a penalty.

- only one faller who cleared the track even though a monarch was leading But he did give it a bit of thought

What was Referee Flint doing last night. Mistake in heat 2 when he penalised Parkinson-Blackburn. Rules clearly state that the motorcycle must touch or break the tapes. Mr Drury obviously doesn't know the rules either since he didn't seem to object.

Ask Mr Godfrey he is top man is he not! Never hear from the man who is supposed to be.

As it does one of the applicants for SCB job.

They do.

Story last night was that the problem has gone and that Monarchs have first call on Dan now.

Newman is out injured. Didn't ride Friday or Saturday against Monarchs

Just spotted why you asked. No apparent injury last night but suppose he may have hurt himself loading his van as others have in the past. Unfortunately will miss meeting while I sit in a pub about 200yards from the old County Ground, Exeter

No.

Just as well the Devils didn't get their act together earlier. Some excellent racing though. Those that criticise the Plymouth track size as not good for racing are talking through a hole thats not in their head.

Believe that Castleford have withdrawn from League as Pete Hibberd cannot obtain a licence. http://www.castlefordspeedway.co.uk/

Rule 16.5.1 A Team may utilise a "Facility" to cover the absence of a Rider who:......... E is sick or carrying a non-speedway injury for which a Medical Certificate must be supplied to the SCB within 48 hours of the sickness/injury in which case the Rider may only return within 7 days (including his Team's next home meeting) with the express permission of the MC.........

Anywhere I can get results of last meeting and will future results be posted anywhere?

That was not the line up for the final. Mr Dowling has made an error in completing his programme

Unfortunately neither of your two juniors were there. But was at the meeting I would prefer to be at today no Elite or Premier prima donnas to watch just good raw talent. Good to be joined on the terraces by supporters Chris Goulding and Les Drury from Kent. Rreal speedway supporters not like many locals.

Shame to see so many from both Edinburgh and Glasgow on here when there was some really good talented youngsters who SHOULD HAVE HAD YOUR SUPPORT riding at Glasgow today. Best meeting I've seen this year.

Any word of these fixtures being released?

Clearly the problem was a referee could not read and adhere to the rulebook. That is where the problem arose.
