He did say it was difficult to attribute fault. The referee looked at the video evidence and made his decision which he explained to Stewart Dickson. If it had happened on the bend I'm sure the referee would have invited all four back but as it was on the straight he had to attribute fault.

Like Nicolai Klindt last season... oh hang on 🤔 Unfortunately Saturday is a 'Polish' day and as has been said it's rearranged anyway. But there is a wider issue here about fuxture planning in the Championship and whether riders with contracts in Poland etc should even been riding in our second division. We had far, far too many absences last season through riders being elsewhere and add that to all the inevitable injuries and this season could be yet another guestfest year (eurghh) 👎 Edited Saturday at 08:40 AM by Bagpuss 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while clubs keep getting facilities to cover this situation it will only continue and probably get worse, it's a very sad state of affairs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted Saturday at 08:50 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 08:50 AM Dan originally wasn’t supposed to be in Poland as his services weren’t required which then changed during the week so now has to go. Which is annoying as he’s number 8 and probably won’t get a ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kyle Howarth already snapped up by Workington this afternoon both teams are struggling to find a like-for-like guest." ...

Marlborough to Worky 299 miles, Marlborough to Berwick 347 miles, those extra 48 miles at 22p per mile £10.46 lol I wonder if Mr Dickson advised him to take the Worky fixture 🤔 This is where the spineless SCB should step in and enforce his agreement to ride in the initially agreed fixture... not that they should have sanctioned the fixture in the first place. It's no way to run a professional sport! Edited Saturday at 09:17 AM by IainB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swifter rearrangement of rained-off BSN and KOC has been demanded by everyone to prevent finals having to be held in the darker reaches if October To achieve these faster restagings, clubs are therefore unable to decline away dates that don't totally suit them. Can't have it both ways ...... Edited Saturday at 10:40 AM by crescent girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
