Good post and perhaps it's time we let the powers that be know enough is enough.
To be fair the principle of boycotting matches with Poole is sound but falling attendances throughout the sport over the last few years should be getting the message across that things have to change.
Very true
Again very true
The reason we couldn't run regular Friday meetings was the Showground, if they hadn't stopped us I doubt we would have changed race night GP's or not.
Website doesn't mention it, which is why I asked.
That's a bit poor not to mention it, turning up to an away match to find out the no 1 wasn't riding and no guest wouldn't go down very well with me, frankly it's extracting the urine.
I am not knocking that it's been done properly and in accordance with the Governing bodies but it's the inconsistency that stinks and the fact that one rider is French and the other English should make a difference is daft.
Either it's allowed or it isn't.
Scunthorpe have followed procedure and the good old BSPA and SCB have allowed it when the rulebook says NO FACILITY.
Yet another classic example of inconsistency and as others have pointed out Rye didn't get anything for TRESARRIEU when he was missing.
I remember the sky meeting well and would have had no complaints if Tony Steele had excluded him that night.
Personally I don't have much complaint with Jim Lawrence's decision last night, if that had been Nicki Pedersen instead of Nilsson I doubt many others would as well.
