  1. Ipswich suggest all four will be at Edinburgh as play offs take seniority over KOC
  2. Seems to me sensible would have ensured Championship play offs didn't clash with Premiership KOC.
  3. Any information on when these ties are going to be raced.
  4. Scunthorpe v Peterborough second leg this coming Friday (22nd) this was the earliest date Scunthorpe provided. As far as I know Newcastle and Glasgow haven't as yet arranged their QF ties, it's clear they are waiting for Robert Lambert to become available again as he has had Polish commitments recently.
  5. BWD always puts 100% into his racing and sometimes tries a bit too much, never had cause for concern he was dirty or aggressive in his racing.
  6. On the basis of what he did last night he is withholding his services, that's grounds at any time.
  7. So sack him and use a guest, it sounds like anyone wouldn't be any worse so what have you got to lose.
  8. Really, what Peterborough fans not taking you serious Jenga. Hard to believe
  9. Certainly your no 1 doesn't, thankfully we had enough in the tank to do the job without ours Best race track in the Championship by a country mile
  10. So in reflection Keep fixed gate positions Keep the 15 heat programme Keep the match points system to ensure matches go to the wire Premiership on Monday & Wednesday Championship on any other night All 3 UK divisions running the exact same heat formula and rules Rewrite the rule book And scrap the tactical ride. Sounds like a plan to me
  11. And I would put good money on him being part of the current MC
  12. No because if it was Peterborough your promoter would have got his licence suspended as it's George English you just say we haven't given permission and that's why it's ok. Total crock of shyte
  13. I first started watching him when I was 14, he was pure and utter class on a motorbike and was the best starter for in the sport by the proverbial mile. Ultra professional with immaculate machinery, just didn't have any weak points at all. Lucky to meet him several times and was always the perfect gentleman with supporters when I saw him.
  14. It really is about time the BSPA and SCB got their heads together and sorted the rulebook out so anyone can read and understand it especially referees some of whom appear to not have a good working knowledge of the changes etc. As far as I am concerned all Matches should be checked/scrutinised by the SCB and if any rules are broken then amendments are made to the result (statement of fact or otherwise). I was under the impression the line ups website was implemented for team managers, referees and licensed officials to sort out these problems prior to the match day but it's very apparent problems still arise through neglect/misuse etc and it's clear that some referees are just not up to the job despite years in the position. The problems often stem from promoters who come up with a addendum to a rule covering generally some other team exploiting it to get a result and instead of rewriting the said rule we get several amendments and variations covering numerous instances most of which can be interpreted to the advantage of others with a vested interest or those in authority. Being honest a competent qualified referee and two team managers should be able to identify any problems before some supporters have to remind them via the internet that a situation is clearly contrary to the rules. Bearing in mind the amount of plain mistakes that regular occur the SCB is clearly not up to the job, perhaps it should concentrate on the important end of the job rather than comments on social media which it now jumps on from a great height. Craig Cook apparently assaulting an official during the SGBC Fours at Peterborough being a good example of yet another incident being brushed under the carpet.
  15. Bloody hopeless but let's be fair he has plenty of competition within the SCB.
  16. Any reason why he couldn't have gone off a 15 metre handicap in heat 12.
  17. It will be interesting to see what SHANES is like other than at Peterborough.
