Argos Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Buxton team manager hold your head in shame, this is the NL not the EL, we're was the fans last night, there were no more than 60 yes 60 there, is that an all time low for an official league match in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our top 4 will be too good for theirs and hopefully Austen is better than our regulars although Phillips had gated on Saturday so could have shown promise.

John Leslie Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Buxton team manager hold your head in shame, this is the NL not the EL, we're was the fans last night, there were no more than 60 yes 60 there, is that an all time low for an official league match in the UK I didn't even know it was the away team manager's responsibility to bring the crowd. Is this a new rule?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) According to review on Bspa website Buxton protested about Carr's equipment before heat 15. Then he had to go off 15 metres because he missed 2 mins proving it was legal. Well that is the Coventry version of events. Scorecard has note that Cof C informed ref that he did not have chain guard on. So ref stopped heat. Therefore adjudged he was not ready so failed 2 minutes.

Scorecard has note that Cof C informed ref that he did not have chain guard on. So ref stopped heat. Therefore adjudged he was not ready so failed 2 minutes. So it wasn't cheating it was just the fact he had a fault with his bike and some Coventry fans see that as cheating because he forgot to fix it. That is just an example of how not obeying the rules can penalise you. I don't think hopwood will be on fire. And if there's any correlation Johnson packed up during the meeting against Eastbourne last year while scoring low maybe hopwood will to!

redlead Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Buxton team manager hold your head in shame, this is the NL not the EL, we're was the fans last night, there were no more than 60 yes 60 there, is that an all time low for an official league match in the UK I don't understand why the Buxton team manager should be held responsible for this, surely Carr should be responsible for coming out on a bike with no chain guard, this is a safety item, therefore the bike could be deemed unsafe. You can't ignore rules just because it's NL and not EL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I notice no-one is accusing a manager of using a rider who appears hell bent on lowering his average to make him more attractive to another team? I hadn't noticed that Liam didn't have his chainguard attached, but you can bet his crew were aware of it. The real fault is the track layout at Coventry which requires a rider to return to the pits via The Wrekin thus making it impossible for him to get back into the pits for a quick repair and stay under the two minutes. This forces mechanics to run down the dog track to the first available gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
