Awful from Rushen, I really rate the kid and think he’s going to go far in the sport but that was down right dangerous. If that was in Poland, probably would have been thrown out the meeting for dangerous riding. He makes the mistake in 3&4 and tries to over compensate but it’s the look before he does it. Referee has had an absolute shocker. Hope Luke will be okay, sounds like concussion, and speedy recovery to Jody aswell, the innocent party in it all. I just said to my dad about that. A decent referee would have thrown him out the meeting and sought a hefty fine for outright dangerous riding. I do want him to do well but that's abhorrent behaviour. I hope Harrison and Scott are OK 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be bad decisions at every meeting lately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My instant thought was "is Christina Turnbull the ref" and it's becoming pathetic how that's a common question in my head now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly they can even use WhatsApp video from the fans of the team whose rider gets excluded so they can change their minds and exclude the other teams' rider.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they announced over the PA that the ref was looking at a video replay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Kye Thomson is the only bright light in this Northamptoningham team, he'll be at number 1 when the new averages come out I'd have thought... the only thing this team is missing is Nigel Tolley's wonga 🤑 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 The extra dirt this week has clearly caught out the Northampton riders, Thomson apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw42 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 24 minutes ago, mikebv said: I agree if was an established track... However, as only the second meeting the staff will still be finding their feet, in the Speedway Star they said those on the entrance gate were still getting trained up to an hour before letting people in last week... And as some punters tonight will no doubt be new you want to try and not pee them off by missing out on the racing... Maybe a 7.45 start time would be better for this season? @IainB arrived at 7.15 and there were no queues. So we are talking about late arrivals, not staff training. The sport is enough of a joke already in this country without this sort of stuff. It's not just Northampton either, tapes up at 7.30 should mean exactly that unless there are genuine problems due to an RTA or simialr. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Best of luck to both the lads who had to withdraw from the meeting.... No "hype", it appears, around these two, who seem to be going under the radar somewhat, and are making very steady progress indeed... Hope both are back soon with no lasting issues.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Lidsey is a gating tart unless he is at Belle Vue.. if he leads at Foxhall when he is there he is fast …. Doesn’t gate doesn’t try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
