Must have been obvious if Mike has doubts.

He has never been a referee. 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.

Poland takes priory so why would he get a ban, especially with this being a rearranged meeting as well.Ā

Why did Edinburgh agree to ride with their number 1 away?

Different situation, Klindt missed Saturday matches, due to riding on a Sunday, Dan is racing today.

Fair enough, at least he's actually racing

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)Ā šŸ‘Ž

The trouble is there doesn't seem to be anybody showing any interest in resolving the situation, when clubs are agreeing to stage rearranged fixtures on dates that they know their number 1 will be missing... it's makes it even more difficult to take the competition seriously. 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.

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.

Even the "hype" man on the Berwick website is struggling to talk this one up...

Roll up, roll up... "We still await confirmation of the extent of Peter Kildemand’s shoulder injury while the search for a suitable guest for our influential number one continued through the night.

Visitors Edinburgh are in a similar situation attempting to find a replacement for paid maximum man Dan Thompson who, as he was for the original, rained-off, staging of this BSN Series encounter has been called to Europe by his Polish club Lodz. With Kyle Howarth already snapped up by Workington this afternoon both teams are struggling to find a like-for-like guest."

... "Tonight is also the crunch for both side’sĀ  semi-final hopes"

We did have Howarth lined up as a guest, to which we received a call Thursday/Friday morning to say he’s now took an alternative booking closer to home was his reason, at Worky. 🄓

Does he still live in Marlborough? 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 fixtureĀ šŸ¤”

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!

Agree there should be no facilities for missing riders.

But.Ā  .....Ā  Ā  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 OctoberĀ 

To achieve these faster restagings, clubs are therefore unable to decline away dates that don't totally suit them.Ā 

Can't have it both ways ......
