The White Knight Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I dont see how he could have insisted. What if, the entire Edinburgh team had agree to go to Church on Sunday so were not available? Could they still have been made to go? Or what if the whole team were riding in Poland no Sunday? Surely if a meeting is already programmed it's tough. Newcastle are the senior Track - Sunday is their race day. George has reacted to a difficult situation in a reasonable manner. Due to his Common Sense there is now no problem. He should be getting praise for his diplomacy - NOT queries about his Right to insist - which under the Rules and Regulations - he could have done. WELL DONE!!! George - I say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Rollocks - I say. Great contribution Scots. Both Edinburgh & Peterborough Promotions via their websites are acknowledging that Newcastle could have insisted that the the second leg of the KOC be held on Sunday. George English has allowed the Peterborough meeting to take place instead because he recognized that some Monarchs fans had already made travel arrangements for Sunday. Nice to see that the travelling fans have been considered in this instance Reads like the script Tsunami has been reading from. Seems like Crumpy is one of the only ones left out of the loop with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see that the travelling fans have been considered in this instance If of course George had been on the ball when Panthers said that they wanted more Sunday fixtures or when this fixture was announced then no fans would have been inconvenienced and Newcastle would have had their Sunday fixture. To claim Sunday rights and fan consideration due to incompetence just takes the biscuit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why make protestations earlier, when we didn't even know we stood a chance of getting through to the semi. Now you are talking way out of the loop. Do try try to keep up with everyone else.

Now you are talking way out of the loop. Do try try to keep up with everyone else. No point in moving on if you can't grasp the basic concept that if you had made protestastions at the earliest opportunity then your Sunday wouldn't have been booked in the first place. You could have whined about it not being our race day, or even alternative race day as you have been. Also putting a spanner in the works of an arranged fixture has been inconsiderate to those fans who were quite happy with the arrangements until George woke up. So where are we then oh great one? All I know is that you lost but claimed some sort of victory but we ride as we were before on Sunday v Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why object to the tie till we had an idea, after the first leg, that we might have a good chance of needing that day. You are thinking it would have been a good idea of ring fencing the date, stopping the Panthers and the Monarchs riding on that day, and then we could have got beat by Glasgow and wasted the date. And you call the BSPA for poor planning, you come a poor second to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I've got a plan, all you've got is an afterthought to bolt the stable door after the horse had bolted, which is more in keeping with the BSPA tbh!

Bollocks again. You have no plan, whilst George appealed straight away that we would be needing the date. That's planning in anybody but your eyes, and was not an afterthought after the horse had bolted. It was 2 weeks before we anticipated we could well be needing our race day. Funny how both sides are welcoming George's agreement to stand down from the date, because of plans that had been made that would cost others. He was in the right is not disputed but we felt it was in the best interests of Edinburgh, fans especially. BTW cyclone is an Edinburgh fan. As Arson has said FFS "it's not rocket science surely". but it's beyond you. Edited October 3, 2014 by Tsunami 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why you are whingeing now anyway. George has been magnanimous enough to give up that Sunday in favour of yourselves. You should be grateful and happy - not whining and argumentative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George has been magnanimous enough to give up that Sunday in favour of yourselves. You should be grateful and happy - not whining and argumentative. Why are people always whining and argumentative when they can't get a straight answer? Did George knowingly give up the date before the Peterborough v Edinburgh meeting was even confirmed (in which case that is deserving of thanks) or did he suddendly find out he would like to run v Edinburgh but we'd already got them on that Sunday, buggering up his plans? To create a problem at that point is not worthy of thanks even if there is one of those unwritten BSPA guidelines saying Newcastle could pull rank but for some reason didn't. I trust that you can understand that although it now matters not as the day is gone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust that you can understand that although it now matters not as the day is gone! all in all the panthers should have a bit respect for fellow teams though, either glasgow or newcastle had to ride v edinburgh in the semi final so surely they should have had the courtesy to realise planning a meeting on a sunday was a bit self centred?? Now if the panthers had paid riders earlier in the season and not dreamed up some H&S issues then they would have had an extea date to rin on their race night.... Or is the reason simply because they couldnt afford to run a bight time meeting?? Either way a little bit thought for others or even dialouge would go a long way.

I think that says it all,,, the fixture was public knowledge for quite some time, it was even talked about on here,,, surely no-one from either Glasgow or Newcastle had objected to it, knowing that one of them would maybe need that day !!!,,, obviously, Glasgow probably did'nt bother cos they knew they would'nt get through,,, but in Newcastle's case, surely some-one should've been aware of it sooner ???,,, that's planning,,, I can't see why George can get any credit for allowing the Peterborough v Edinburgh match to go ahead, unless he had agreed to it beforehand :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
