gazzac Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Can never understand how you can have an end of season do and awards presented before the end of the season, but must be a reason for it somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 It is actually in the rules and regulations that they are not held in season.As you know that only applies to some clubs in speedway,just like the rest of the rule book !!

stevec Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Maybe it the regular season they cant hold them in. I would imagine there is a date set at the beginning of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayne Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Season usually officially closes last couple of days of the october. The official end of the speedway season is 31st October - that doesn't change from year to year although the official start date of the season may vary.

Brummie Kev Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I suppose it could be a reserve date if the Cradley match is rained off this Saturday although that looks unlikely at the moment, more likely the 'end of season do' is on Friday and didn't want to race the next day. No because yourselves or Cradley are due at Perry Barr next wednesday for the final of the KOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I sometimes find they are more interested in the party than the racing... no need for the glitz IMO. Pretty sure last season rider of the year was out before BDJ was dropped. If only they upsold the actual meetings as much as they do the party (that they might not be able to get to tipsy at anyway) Don't get me wrong there's alot of effort put in to get meetings on every week so that we can watch speedway, Just this part of the season should be all about those Playoffs and KO cup finals with the party following after that!

mrscambelt Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Is it, which regulation ? I just had a look at the rule book online and i can see in the index "NO PARTY" i cant see it anywhere saying you cant have a social life during the season the biggest one i look forward too with a lot of the riders is Cardiff. Wonder if Jayne can give me the rule number for it saying not party during the season or awards before end of October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchfield aces Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I have a question- What happens if the KOC S/F VS Cradley get postponed on Saturday? As Birmingham are due to host the winners on Wednesday in the first leg of the KOC Final. Would the meeting get re-arranged for the next day? Would this mean no Eastbourne or Cradley representatives at King's Lynn for the pairs. Three questions in one, let's hope in doesn't rain Saturday.

gee jay Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) It's going to rain Saturday! met office backs you up now alex , hopefully it'll change again by tomorrow. that could come back to bite the eagles, tom bacon outscored ben hopwood in the lge encounter , i wonder what he'll score with a practice a week before.

It does I just checked, although it doesn't look like it will last too long! Shame Ben hopwoods season has finished in the same way it started... now he's only suspended will he be at Eastbourne tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 can't see it myself, with all the travelling the riders do in a season , i think he might find something else to do as that's one hell of a trip from the manchester area when he's not riding and with a dodgy forecast. might still make the trip myself if i'm not too tired , the forecast improves and i've stopped sulking over missing the finals. hope it's a good day for everyone at arlington either way.

Its in the rules and regulations book(formerly known as the promoters guide) which is issued to all promoters. Despite its title it is not the same as the speedway regulations (commonly known as the rule book) which is available to download via the SCB website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm think some ones making a rule up to suit. So what happened when Somerset had the mid season ball? Is that not allowed. As that's the same as end of season awards. And Cardiff and Nigel and kelvin fans zone. Mmmm let me think smells like a little porky pie to me.

If there isn't a ruling on this then there should be one created. Say today is rained off and the only date both teams are available is the 22nd not only does it mean double spend out for fans on one weekend but also the riders can't enjoy any more than a half pint of shandy and the promotion will have to spend the time running up to the party at the track...an end of season party is to celebrate what you have achieved this season not to celebrate what you might achieve.
