Badge Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Well Paul Hurry on Radio Suffolk yesterday said guest for Nicholls is Lewy Kerr for this meeting plus Olly Allen had arranged for Team GB riders to meet in Poland on Thursday evening for team bonding meal ahead of practice on Friday for WTC. Paul and Richard stated that as the Aussie riders would be riding in Gb on Thursday night and flying out Friday morning that is what Tom would be doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think the lead up week to the World Cup Final would be blank wouldn't you? Strange some leagues still run... Maybe not that important?... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be different if it was still a full week event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that the organisers would have had the riders out in Poland for the week doing publicity for the meeting, and being in a "team camp" together... Adding a bit of "gravitas" to the event, particularly as it now isn't every season.. It looks just like another run of the mill meeting when nothing is done differently...

Isn't Kerr ineligible under the '8 day ' rule? a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is ONLY declared in a British Development League Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Date chosen based on the fact that they know no rain is forecast for that Monday. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Currently playing golf at Rushmere in shorts, we’ve had some rain all but stopped now, less I’d say than we had 30 minutes before the meeting last week. hindsight a wonderful thing but atm looks a honking decision to call off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Been saying it for weeks, first bit of rain comes and you will see rain offs left, right and centre because everyone has got used to riding on dustbowls and anything else, they will not want to know.

SPEEDY69 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 (edited) Total fraud of a call off. Hardly any rain, now dry and warm so no way the meeting would've been in jeopardy. Coleman's been reading the Chapman book on when to call off. Edited August 27 by SPEEDY69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
