TMW Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 You've just contradicted yourself. As you say, they had a facility for Jon just as Cradley did for Chessell. What???? Well yes they would have to have something or meetings couldn't run ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Like other have said the Mildenhall promotion are in the wrong by cancelling the meeting. But someone at the top needs to seriously look at why Cradley were allowed to bring in a Guest rider, it should not have happen, but unfortunately it is typical of Speedway promotions these days using the rules to their own benefits.

To be fair, mate, what they have done is entirely legal and within NL regulations. You can, as Alan Jones has said, have a facility for literally anything.

Alan_Jones Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I stand corrected, Alan (I 'd like to thank Neil Watson for doing so by pm). I suppose 'I got wrecked last night, am hungover and don't fancy riding but will be in the bar having a few beers in the stadium bar instead' is reasonable grounds to allow a guest, isn't it ? "any other reason, eg. Work, school, holidays etc.", so yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I think PL and EL are the same for missing rider I've given up trying to keep up with the rules. Earlier this year there was the tac ruling in the Premier League Cup, then the riding over the Centre green rule, now this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I fear the worst for Milldenhall speedway. It's only a couple of weeks ago Kevin Jolly said he was seriously considering his future in speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Different rules over three different leagues? I think PL and EL are the same for missing rider The rules regarding facilities for missing riders are different in the NL than the upper leagues. The rule book is readily available to download at http://www.britishspeedway.co/2016_regulations_final.pdf , Art 19.12 is the pertinent one here.

greyhoundp Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 From BSPA Website: "Mildenhall speedway would like to apologise to Officials, riders and supporters of both clubs for this afternoons meeting being called off. Following a recent build up of personal and club issues over recent weeks, club promoter Kevin Jolly made a ‘heat of the moment’ decision this morning that he regretted straight away. He immediately made efforts to correct the situation, but his offers were sadly declined. He will now be taking a brief rest from the sport but hopes to return for the meeting on Sunday 17th July when the Isle of Wight are due to visit West Row. No further statement will be made at this time." I was going to comment, but having read this i will refrain clearly the guy is going through a tough time.

bruno Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I've no idea whose right or wrong in this matter but after travelling up and down the country the last 6 years and encountered many farcical situations at various tracks I decided not to bother travelling away this year. I just pick the odd meeting here and there ,mainly in the pl. and after watching the farce at Kings Lynn for a few hours last night I'm beginning to wonder why I bother. I'd be better off becoming a footie fan again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry but this simply does not stand up, look at the record over the years. I take it your Team is in it NOT to win it ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I can understand why the guest rules so lax in NL, though. Surely it's case of increasing professionalism as you move up the ranks.NL riders put a lot of unpaid hours in for love of the sport. Unfortunately it's then open to abuse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remembertheracers Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Isn't James Easter the co-promoter as well as league sponsor? He can't be happy with this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Horne Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 My god speedway shoots itself in the foot yet again and I wonder how much more it can take, its in a very serious state. Ive been a fan for many years and cannot remember it being so bad for 40 odd years. Kevin Jolly has really shown total immaturity and could even lose his licence. Im truely shocked by his antics and speedway is in dire straights here in Suffolk what with the Ipswich Witches being run into the ground by sky loving Chris Louis. Perhaps the rumours we have been hearing about a Suffolk millionaire wanting to buy him out will be followed by him also buying Jolly out, lets hope so for all us Suffolk fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
