All those riding in Poland MUST get bans

You're suggesting that an individual meeting in Britain is more important than a promotion play off match elsewhere.

 

I can just imagine if roles were reversed and rider in a PL play-off team had to miss a semi final because of a Polish individual event, everyone on BSF being in total agreement with that? Yes?

 

Or is it a case of the notion that we are British and therefore more deserving of a riders loyalty and the rest of the speedway world having to play second fiddle to us at all times?

Well i thought it was one of the better plrc meetings i have been to plenty of passing plenty of incidents and good all round meeting glad i made the 360 mile round trip for it i go to lynn every week and there was more passing here than we see there nowadays track shape must be a factor the steady josh incident was just a mistake steady did what he does at sheffield and carried speed into bends 3 and 4 josh didnt want to move but had to hard but fair after the race josh should have spoke to him in the pits not on the track coz as we all saw it all went horribly wrong when their bikes locked together with disasterous consequences but as a neutral added to the atmosphere only complaint was the long delays from heat 20 to the finish and the car park we had a long trip back and wanted away all in all enjoyed it immensely

The delay (as explianed briefly by Shaun Lee the Announcer/Presenter) was due to the fact that riders who get through to the semis and then the final can use new tyres, which take a little time to fit (deflating the old one, removing it, putting the new one on and inflating it). Also, of course riders would have had two rides in a row between the semi final and the final.

What is so frustrating is If these riders who were missing do not get a ban & a fine it will be the lack of consistency from the BSPA, AGAIN, they fined Zetterstrom and banned him when he missed the PLRC through riding in Poland, so what has changed.

Do you genuinely believe that, or is it a wind-up?

 

That's how I saw it and it was right in front of me.

 

Completely accidental, and If I'd have been Grajczonek I'd have wanted a word with Stead too after being taken out.

 

If Grajczonek had fallen, Stead would unquestionably have been excluded - which begs the question as to whether there has to be a fall before such action is taken.

 

Disgraceful scenes afterwards in the pits though. Where was stadium security?

 

Probably where they usually are if anything kicks off - hiding in the toilets.

 

I thought it was a pretty entertaining meeting with the highlight being Newman's stunning pass of Stead in heat 19. Quite brilliant, and it shows what you can achieve if you have a never say die attitude.

 

Big thanks to Spinny for organising the Barracks get together. :approve:

So Zorro should retrospectively be unbanned and the rule changed then? The rules say all those who were Poland should get a ban.

No need to believe it,as that is what happened---Josh simply went to have a word with him after being took wide,nothing wrong with that either

 

Steads followers kicking off afterwards was far worse --simply no need for that

If they were polish riders and they missed their meeting in Poland for a British one, they would get a ban.

 

So no, nothing to do with 'we are british and more deserving'. Simply, we are deserving of the same rules.

 

Not second fiddle. Equal footing.

 

However, it appears that you are suggesting we should play second fiddle.

Not a bad meeting, disappointed with the snack bar though it used to be good.

No chicken wraps on the main snack bar, so I paid a visit to the small outlet just after the entrance where the nachos with cheese sauce & chilli were good value for £3.50

Unless I have my facts wrong I make that 3 Brits in the top 4 in this year's PLRC. That's a cause for some optimism I feel.

That's what I like to see...a good healthy diet. Must be 2 of your 5 a day surely. Me?...I used to go for the 12" hot dogs at West Ham. I think they were called Doozles...something like that.

Stead nearly put josh in the fence with his riding that's why josh kicked off

 

Typical Sheffield riding tactic, see Shawn Wilson or Compton. They have to drive you to fence as there is so much space at sheff you can get around if they leave the smallest gap. Only issue is Stead,Wilson,Compton usually got assy when it was done to them.
