AllyN Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hodgy the cheap tickets do indeed seem to have gone as the adult price was shown as £13 before with no need to enter a promotion code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not too sure who the best 5 riders in the league are at the moment, but by my reckoning most of them wont be there. Ever since Ipswich went PL, we've hardly ever been able to put out our best riders due to the rules, I assume we cant send our most entertaining rider (Gino), Newcastle cant send their best rider (King), how many other teams are in the same boat? I suppose they made these rules because the EL teams kept taking the P*** out of these meetings, but the PL teams wouldn't do this, and should be allowed to send their strongest pairs on current form, but the rules don't allow this. Once we had to send Doolan to the PLRC when Lasse was easier our best and most entertaining rider, come on Gentlemen, have a look at these rules, they don't help!!!

Limited to first 50, good offer so wouldn't take long to sell. I see now you can purchase tickets at the full price and collect at the stadium. What's the benefit in that? Avoid queue maybe? It's ridiculous that Cook and Barker can't ride in this meeting, devalues it unnecessarily. They only have to cross a bridge after the meeting.

Don't know about Barker, but I think it's fair enough that Cookie isn't riding. I'm not sure about the in's and out's but he would have definitely struggled after riding for us on a Friday then travelling straight away for the SGP Qualifier, hopefully lesson learned. Sam & Max will still be a very good pairing if they both bring their A game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Newcastle cant send their best rider (King), how many other teams are in the same boat? I think that's fair... Why should a rider ride in a meeting like this after only a handful of meetings? Those that have raced for the club all season should be allowed to compete, not one's that have been brought in midway through to bolster the season. It's ridiculous that Cook and Barker can't ride in this meeting, devalues it unnecessarily. They only have to cross a bridge after the meeting. Not sure why Barker isn't there (Surely Plymouth should be replaced - teams have been replaced before when higher averaged riders have been unavailable...) but I'm guessing as Cook will be at practice on Friday, he's not allowed to compete anywhere else until the GP is over. Think it's fair to allow him this opportunity at Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 How to ruin a meeting with one stupid decision. McGregor you should hang your head in shame, all 4 back was clearly the decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC71 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Agreed. Completely ruined the final. Typical referee wants to be the centre of attention no common sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
