George Hunter EF when leading Final of 1963 PLRC .There had been controversy regarding Finalists and there had to to an extra heat which he had to ride in.Perhaps he would not have had EF in Final but for that extra heat!

Thanks,it is a it embarrassing all round IMO .Still that is speedway.

Thanks,so Tony and the Ref got it wrong then?

Could you show me rule 15.16 as I can't seem to find it on the link you gave Thanks To end it ,what you are saying the situation at Workington should not have happened?thanks.

Why is Tony Jackson complaining that the rule needs changed because it is dangerous then.Obviosly he and the Ref agree the rule is correct regarding riders going of original gate in Ht1 Ht 14 is valid.Thats what I can't understand the rule appears to be different at each match.Oakes did not intimated that it changed for just Heat 15 his article read that it was for all the meeting.Usual Speedway Rules though.Why is there confusion!

So what about the situation at Workington v Berwick .Peter Oakes had an article in his SS Column at the end of May stating that the riders were going to go off their original gate positions instead of Gate4.so I assumed the rule was changing (as happened at Workington) Since I have attended matches and watch matches on Sky that this has not happened so is it the usual misiterpretation of the rule book by the Ref in charge of the meeting.( I recall a sky match recently where either Garrity or Sargeant touched the tapes in heat 1 and went of gate 4 in the rerun. But in happened. So the picture of Vissing in SS starting in gate 1 should not have happened?

The Andersons "motto "was always about the long term future of Berwick.

Ht7 and Ht12 at workington the riders started 15 mtrs back from their original gate positions.The meeting at Glasgow I referred to the rider started off outside gate.The rule quoted above in other post does not state that riders should start off outside gate except Ht 15 in my interpretation though.

The point I am making is the riders in the re -run races started off Gate 4 15 mtrs back,not in the position Tony is talking about. Yes.There is picture in this weeks SS to prove it

It was not Heat 15 in any of the meetings?

Reading Tony Jacksons comment regarding Starting positions after tapes incidents,he states the rule change from June,I'm pretty sure when I was at Glasgow recently ,Edinburgh or Somerset match that rule was not applied.Recent Sky matches that rule was not applied. What is the rule then!!

Sadly it is a mess.

Fine by me.its just the title of the thread is Who is the winner, not where is it held!

Why all the bickering,it ludicrous to think about changing venue because a club has had its AirFence vandalised (no disrespect to Plymouth). A donation from the BSPA would solve everything if that was the case.

Be very surprised if Cresent Girl criticises Dick for obvious reason.

Admit it was strange one,but it was also clear that something untoward happened,history now though.A draw was a fair result though.

Strange summing that there was nothing wrong ,when you say clearly Berwick riders saw something that other didn't and obviously the person with the camera caused a bit of confusion!!! on track 2 riders stopped after 10 mtrs ,that's what was wrong.

Injury free I fancy Newcastle will be major contenders for title.

Decent meeting track rode well,Bandits deserved something out meeting.Though the ref got it wrong in ht 11.when 2 riders pull up within 10metres looking at each other it obvious something was not right.

Thanks

Dont see any accusations or allegations How did it go on Sat regarding the training track at Duns is that a separate venture to Berwick Speedway.?

Think for the sport to continue in Berwick ther would have to be a certain amount of goodwill regarding to who wants take buy them out ( if anybody).Difficult times IMO .

This not having full Teams nonsense has to cut out.Fixture lists adhered to free dates before cut -off should be used.Blank race days just harms the sport.Some teams hardly had a fixture in July that's a joke .
