Or is it because that isn't in place at the BSPL Chairman's track? Wouldn't of picked up on Cairns tyre warming. If the ref sees something just put red light on.

I agree technology should be used wherever possible to increase the chance of fair play and reduce the chance of rule breaking wherever possible. How long have Poole's start marshalls been using headsets.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point in the '80s there was a match at Ellesmere Port when Berwick were visiting, which was declared null and void after the event (something to do with tyres, ironically) and had to be re-run late in the season. I can't be bothered looking up chapter and verse, but the precedent is there....... The meeting wasn't rerun. 12th April 1985 National League fixture, Joe Owen and Dave Morton were found to have used illegal tyres. Berwick's protest was upheld, both riders had their points deducted, following riders were promoted and the final score was amended from 50-28 to 34-41. Edited to add the appeal wasn't sorted out until mid-October! Edited 2 hours ago by daveallan81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't worked in some areas of football where a human studies the evidence provided by technology and still make the wrong decision but goal line technology has worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
