Excellent post - 100% agree. ps. re KK's 'slump' - does anyone really know whats going on with him? Is he refusing to do interviews? It would make a good article for the Star to run. Love him or loathe him I'm sure most fans would like to know. -
You can get that from the Crystal Maze can't you?!

I find that amazing as Kyle Newman has been having his worst spell for a while - still if that's what the administrators are saying.....!

Ah yes the old 'independent management' argument solves everything!!? Nobody has been able to name anyone (either individually or as a committee) that is truly independent ie without any allegiance past or present to any club!!

I presume the FIM have offered no objection to his immediate return to league racing in 3 countries as its within the respective organisations rules and regs for him to do so. Same thing applies to BSI if they so wish!

Of course it discredits the sport - breaking the rules always runs the risk of discrediting a sport. The issue of whether the meeting should have started and whose responsibility that falls to for Sky meetings, is why I have support for Coventry's stance on that matter (see my post). Once both teams had agreed to start the meeting then other rules come into play, including a result standing once heat 10 is reached if conditions are deemed unsafe/waterlogged/ whatever. Mick Horton was clearly seen on Sky saying that if an inspection was going to be held after heat 9 then 'we might as well go on to heat 10'!! Chris Harris was clearly ready to go out for heat 10 but was instructed by the management not to - thereby breaking the rule for which the SCB hearing was held. Poole did absolutely nothing wrong in those circumstances - something that Havvy and Horton both stated subsequently. Its not Poole that have publicly prolonged this sorry episode - its the Coventry management. In fact when their appeal to the ACU fails, I wonder if there could be a further fine for bringing the sport into further disrepute?! Just to repeat myself again, I fully support Coventry's attempt to get clarification of where the responsibility lies in calling off a Sky meeting - assuming of course that they and all other clubs don't already know the answer - because I find it very difficult to accept that this situation would not have been discussed and procedures agreed when the Sky contract began or was renewed - but that's just my opinion?!
-
So breaking the rules and punishing the culprit is now a 'petty issue'?! As far as any attempt to overturn the decision and match result is concerned, I just think its foolish. As I've said before why would the ACU overturn a decision made by a panel including 2 ACU members? What I have every sympathy with Coventry for - as it will affect all clubs - is their attempt to have clarified and confirmed whose responsibility it is and when, if a Sky meeting is to be called off for bad weather?! I hope the answer to that is made fully public so that we all know once and for all!

Happy 50th Birthday today Rosco.

He was punished for his one FIM transgression - nothing more or less. Move on.

Bikes and engines are similar - its just the set-ups for each different track that need to be sorted. -

Full teams for both sides according to the website. -
Well done to the Wolves. Poole leading the way again in showing the rest of the EL how to defeat from the jaws of victory!!! Anyway, Wednesday is another day - still in 2nd place. I wonder who will get the short straw of getting Poole in the semis? August averages after last night (subject to BSPA approval) MJ 8.80; CH 7.78; DW 6.41; DN 5.86; KG 4.97. Total 33.82.
