You forgotten about Allen then

Closing the gap whilst someone is coming up behind you (Probably better known as the Pedersen manoeuvre) is one thing but closing the gap or trying too when the rider is alongside you is quite another. Riss was the cause of the crash full stop, it would be interesting to know if Vardy has seen that footage.

I have just watched a video of this incident that Carl Johnson posted on Facebook, this shows BWD on the outside of the track between the start line and the first bend and Mark Riss on the inner edge, Riss then moves out from the inner edge to the outer straight into the side of BWD. i have absoloutly no idea why Vardy excluded BWD but the decision beggars belief, if you don’t believe me watch the video. with referees their are brave decisions, desperate decisions and just plain stupid decisions Vardy,s heat 14 decision was certainly a category 3.

Bomber every time for me

Well presumably someone from Lakeside informed the BSPA regarding this fixture, it wouldn’t have been generated by Peterborough. It would be helpful if Lakeside confirmed or advertised the said fixture or they could be dissapointed with the attendance.

Never mind about commenting, the SCB should be taking the clubs concerned to task for deliberately flouting the speedway regulations to their own end. 16.5.1 A Team may utilise a "Facility" to cover the absence of a Rider(s) who: k) is on FIM Longtrack Championship duty (for the day of the Meeting only; no facility is permitted for practice day). Its pretty clear a facility only covers for the day of the meeting itself (today Saturday 1st September) so the facility granted by the BSPA MC is totally against the rules. The fact that this decision was made by the MC two of which are the promoters of the two clubs concerned Scunthorpe & Sheffield frankly makes it worse, just how long does this crap have to go on before the SCB actually start doing their job properly. As others have said the sport is currently lurching from one disaster to another.

Last week wasn’t boring, I thought it was quite a good match, I appreciate the fact that we won helped but it was certainly entertaining.

16th September

I don’t doubt it

8 day rule doesn’t apply when guesting for a home teams no 1

To be fair (and I am not sticking up for the BSPA) I dare say it’s been written like that because teams in the past have brought in ringers for the play offs and cup finals.

Yes it’s apparent David Klindt isn’t riding at Lynn tonight so why say he is.

Both Lynn and Poole PR state quite clearly Klindt is riding at Lynn tonight and other sources confirm the same, it does seem rather unprofessional if this information is circulated knowing it’s incorrect or misleading with at least one party clearly at fault.

Scunthorpe 19-59 Peterborough 1973 I remember it well but as you say it was at Quibell Park

Now on the Lakeside web

Latest Peterborough Rolling GS Averages for September are Nicholls 8.19, Palm Toft 8.12, Ostergaard 7.35, Wilson Dean 5.74, Grondal 4.77, Bacon 4.52 & Lambert 4.43.

Shouldn’t be as new rules say he misses out for 7 days

Quick recovery Really

Guests allowed this year for any missing heat leaders (top 3 by MA) this year

Surely not.

I have always liked Foxhall, track is sometimes tricky (very slick yesterday) but viewing and facilities are very good

I don’t agree, Riss looked at fault for that crash from our viewpoint.

He was being well thanked in the pits afterwards, he clearly enjoyed himself again.

I will second that, a very determined display which got them a very big 4 points. Just a shame Bradley got hurt in the process.

He gets on well with the management, he is a nice bloke and reliable.
