Happens pretty much every year, I wouldn't be surprised if a team has to run on off nights and run home meetings on consecutive nights just to complete their fixtures.
Last week we had a club setting fire to straw in the hope they could dry the track, minutes later the fire brigade arrive, result meeting off. Now this.
I like Peterborough as a club and have always enjoyed my trips to the EoES but you do wonder just how long the club can survive for.
I wish you were correct, but it seems the riders hold the power and Scunthorpe will almost certainly go back to the same riders who turned them down last night.
Not the worst meeting you are likely to see but Scunthorpe were always on the back foot with turning up without a genuine No1 capable of winning races. The others did their best but were never in any danger of getting any points.
I take your point, there will always be a time where a rider in unfit one day then fit the next, however, it is pushing things a bit where Douglas is currently injured but apparently is actively travelling to another meeting.
As others have said, clearly Douglas doesn't want to upset his Polish pay masters.
