RS50 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 And if Proctor can not ride what then? If we need a NL guest would need to have booked one by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield are still awaiting a decision concerning the availability of Ty Proctor for the meeting. so proctors not riding and we will have a NL guest in his place but if we announce it it will affect the crowd and as far as i can make out proctor had a visa to ride for wolves and somerset to ride for sheffield he needs a visa to ride for wolves and sheffield, so he has the right type of visa, but with the wrong team on it, may be it should have been for any team begining with S PS raining now and i still say that if the BSPA had refused to grant a facility for Saturday the situation would have been resolved Sheffield tried it on, the BSPA let them Edited May 8, 2014 by The Third Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I agree totally that proctor must be out of the meeting.. He would had needed to know to prepare bikes and leave for track fairly soon.. If there is no confirmation before 5.30 I will make the decision not to bother.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Boy Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) the fault lies solely with the BSPA hence them granting r/r facility (for roynon) Time will tell if you are right or wrong. If it is a visa issue it is between the employer and the employee to get it right; I don't believe the BSPA sacked Roynon?

fairplay1 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well we decided to stay at home, all this concern over Proctor and the dodgey forecast had me thinking it might not take a lot to call this off so not worth the risk, i have no idea who is responsible for this Proctor fiasco but it needs sorted ASAP absolute comedy at its best.. Maybe get down for the league match.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get down for the league match.. Whenever signing a rider surely the club must get everything in place before announcing it to the public, clearly in this case Sheffield didn't and have made a pigs ear of the whole thing. On tonight, Sheffield know they cant have R/R for Proctor, if he doesn't make it. My guess is they will insist that Roynon is still in their 1-7 and be giving R/R for as they were last Saturday, which as we all know is just plain wrong and against the BSPA`s own rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Proctor confirmed, so is the rain i apologise for doubting them in my above post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 So Proctors a Tiger, all we have to do now is get this meeting on. Decent around their own track they may be, but there will be many questions should Berwick find a way in chucking their lead away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 17:55 Looks like the rain will stop around 18:30-19:00 according to the Hi-Res Rainfall Radar, it may abate back to light rain/drizzle around 18:15ish If it's not been watered and its well tyre packed, you might be ok....
