Star Lady

As Rory crashed at the beginning of lap 3 that would have meant Kildeman pushing round for over 2 laps which he could not have done without North lapping him. As I understand it races that are awarded in the order the ref thinks they would have finished so Kildemann would have been excluded anyway for being lapped.

Maybe her reasoning was that if Rory had not fallen, Kildeman could not have completed the race in the statutory 3 mins (?) without North lapping him. No idea really but nothing else is keeping me entertained so my imagination is in overdrive

Ms Vardy apparently

Didn't realise that. Why am I increasingly thinking Ward is gonna get away with it. There's a trend here somewhere. Maybe he should be nicknamed Teflon cos nothing seems to stick.

How long did it take for a decision in the Danno case?

I'm assuming the other riders tested passed. Surely if it was faulty they would have failed also. If Darcy is trying to wriggle out of this (whether under advice or not) he has gone down even further in my estimation. He can't get much lower.

I would assume the FIM have protocols and procedures for such tests. IF these were followed I can't see there being a problem. If they weren't then the officials involved should have their accreditation taken away.

Is it a monster firm of lawyers?

But they have to fit the fixtures in to get the points surely? This is one way of doing it and if they get to the play-offs surely the pay night then would compensate? No idea but really but I cannot believe it's been changed just because of the football.

Not if it means Coventry potentially fit in one or two of their outstanding meetings on the Friday. My theory as posted on the other thread especially the bit in bold Posted Today, 07:44 AM I have a couple of theories. Both concern Coventry's problem of fitting all the home meetings in. 1 Lynn have been moved to the Thursday, if it is rained off they do it all again on the Friday. 2 If you read the Lakeside site re the rearranged meeting with Swindon, it appears the BSPA have changed the rules. This means if any Coventry meeting is rained off it can be put in on the next free regular race night. Sept 5th is now a free regular race night. So any outstanding home meetings could potentially be on the 5th and the visitors have no choice but to attend. Potentially even a double header. Lakeside site also says facilities will be granted if this happens. I would suggest Coventry are on paper less likely to take points from Lynn than other clubs they still have to face so thse extra meetings could be crucial and a smaller crowd on the Thursday is a necessary evil. If either of those theories are correct, it seems a sensible move by Coventry and nice co-operation by Lynn. How's that for a conspiracy theory this early in the morning

I assume if Thurs is rained off they could rerun on the Friday.

Not necessarily. Depends if Lynn want Coventry in the play offs

Amazing how they can do it this end of the season but not any other time Applies to all clubs not just Cov and Leics.

That would entail logical thinking and I don't think the powers that be know how to do either

Didn't sound too chuffed on Twitter last night

Think it used to be the home team offered 3 dates if the away team refused them all it went to the BSPA to decide a date and that's when it had to be. Probably changed now tho.

Simples the rules will be changed.

I know at least 10 Lynn fans & myself that will be there. Stuff the football

And Rory rides on a British licence

I'm still waiting for a reply about disabled access. Thankfully several BV fans took the time to let me know and our visit in the first week of August was fine.

Even more stupid.

Admittedly my current knowledge of track conditions is confined to TV but it seems to me that the majority of tracks are nearly bald to suit the riders of rocket ships. When they come up against a track with dirt on it they can't cope. The same moans were directed at Lynn a few years back when Lynn could ride the dirt and visitors couldn't. Personally I prefer tracks with dirt and riders who have to have skill and ability to be able to ride them as opposed to riders on highly tuned engines who can't turn a bike for toffee. And if you think bikes are not over powered listen to Tatum every time a rider rears up into his back wheel.

I'm sure it used to be no money back after Heat 6 so anything better than that is a bonus . Do agree with Trees, result after 10 heats is ridiculous, did that have anything to do with Sky?
