Scunthorpe Scorpions Vs Edinburgh Monarchs ( P L) - Sunday, July 17th (6.30pm)


Recommended Posts

An absolutely superb speedway meeting, best I have seen this season and probably for several seasons :approve:

 

Only downer was the anti-climax in heat 15 and the fact that Scunthorpe most certainly didn't deserve to lose and, I'd say, Edinburgh didn't deserve to win.

 

Still, this happens.

 

That aside, virtually every race was brilliant and both sides deserve a great deal of credit.

 

Every week we hear fans, promoters, team managers and all sorts of others blaming the weather or stock cars for their crap track. Scunny had a stock car meeting last night and it was a hot, breezy day today.

 

I'll ask again : What do Scunny know that everyone else doesn't ?

Fantastic meeting... with Edinburgh having all the luck. The racing was simply brilliant, one of the best meetings this year, just a shame it ended like it did.

 

Would've been a different result had the ref rightly called heat 12, no way did clegg win that... and Fisher should've been excluded from heat 10, racing incident yes, he didn't deliberately mean to rear up, however it was dangerous, it impeded Ryan Douglas.. if it wasn't for Ryans awareness it would of resulted in a massive off for both riders.

 

That said, congrats to both teams, was one hell of a meeting.

 

Scunny rode under protest with regards to Mitchell Daveys inclusion... so we'll have to wait and see the outcome of that.

No it wasn't

I was at Rye that day & ht 15 ended 3 - 2 for Rockets with both Frampton & Fisher being excluded for falling in the first two runs.

 

Monarchs did win 45 - 44 as per today's result :)

I thought Kerr won that one too but my view wasn't perfect so I asked someone at the tapes at the end. They said Clegg got it.

 

I, too, thought Fisher should have been excluded. He was at 45 degrees across the track and it shouldn't take a crash for a rider to be disqualified.

 

I also thought that Douglas caused Kerr to fall in heat 15 and he should have gone rather than Kerr.

 

Mitchell Davey is declared in Coventry's NL team. As far as I can see he is an NL guest.

There's a rule where if a NL rider ever achieved a 4 PL average he is not allowed to guest in the PL?!?!

 

EDIT- Just checked and that rule is that you are not allowed to guest as a NL only guest in PL if you have ever achieved more than a 4, I don't think Davey ever has anyways

You mean this one:

 

18.10 FACILITIES

a1) Absent #1: G or RR

a2) Absent D-U or EDR (if riding for the “other” team) G or RR

b ) 1 Absent rider (2 – 5): RR

c) More than 1 Absent rider (1 - 5) 1 x RR facility and G for all others

d) Absent #6 or #7: G

e) “No Facility”: NL G*

NL G*: a rider eligible for a NL Team who has never achieved an actual PL MA of 4.00 or above

 

A quick check of the BSPA website shows that Mitchell Davey's average has gone above 4.00 in the past. For example, I spotted that his GSA for October 2009 was 4.23.

 

All the best

And Davey is also a UK Passport Holder, whose last PL GSA was 3.00, and is not in any other PL team's declared 1 - 7.

 

If it was somehow ruled that only Dan Bewley was eligible to ride at Scunny today, then would that mean that Bewley's 13 for BV Colts at Buxton this afternoon would also be annulled?

Edinburgh opted through choice not to use Bewley today, so E applies.

 

You don't get a facility if you choose not to use a rider.

 

Ironically, I think Davey is eligible to ride at No 7, but not to guest for someone else under 18.10 e)

 

All the best

Rob
