Refereeing Cock-up At Swindon V Belle Vue Ko Cup


Recommended Posts

Johansson being able to guest for BWD is crazy! I thought people were taking the Mickey out of the Poole situation until I checked the averages.

 

Having said that, Bradley did get a maximum there earlier in the season.

 

Hmmmm, not really as clear cut as 15.10 though, I'd say.

 

They have specifically stated that results cannot be amended other than for the reasons given. In other words, if the ref makes a cock up on an individual heat result his decision must stand once the meeting result is declared.

To be honest it doesn`t matter what the rule says because the SCB have a dispensation rule- and in this instance because of the cock-up by Swindon! and the ref it should be paramount that this is exercised.

The act of removing the points, and amending the score of the match for that reason, would, in itself, be against the rules.

Not at all. If a bike is found to be illegal after a meeting, a rider's points would be removed retrospectively. And that's just one example.

A clear rule violation took place, no interpretation necessary. Who's fault it was that the violation took place is secondary.

You may well be correct, although it's certainly not a clear, written rule that it should be. In fact, the clear written rule says that the result should stand.

 

So, in the end, whether or not the dispensation should be applied comes down to someone's opinion rather than a matter of fact.

 

 

As I said before, whatever they do decide they need to decide it pretty soon to stop the second leg becoming more of a farce than it already is.

Surely in the interests of fair play Swindon should demand that BWDs points in that heat be deducted from the scoreline.

 

But all we have had is silence. In fact the "mistake" has been known for a while now but the silence has been deafening from the Swindon management. That alone can only be interpreted that along with many of their fans they are hoping to get away with it.

 

A real shame.

Exactly. It's as I pointed out when Poole beat us by breaking the rules. Loads of people said the race was run the result recorded with no protest before the following race(s), so the result cannot be amended. This was the exact scenario when Kennett had the illegal silencer. The rule breaking was reported after the whole meeting was completed but the points were removed and the result amended.

 

The ONLY thing stopping this being put right is the same as last time and that's the fact that Belle Vue are involved.

Dont know the man thanks.

 

I came on to this thread and lo and behold he has gone on and on fishing to get a bite.

 

Please ask yourself what his post brings??? Going on about everyone is behind Poole Speedway now.

 

The man is a troll who posts to get reactions..............sad really

 

Have a look at the nature of the posts something that some Poole fans cant do....not sure if its a lack of education down that way.

 

He posts to antagonise and troll......look at his posts on this thread.

 

I give opinions...totally different..................you know opinions like the one i gave that Poole would win at Somerset only to be told i know nothing and speak bullsh1t....

 

Im sure if Swindon are found in the wrong they will get punished............just hilarious how Poole fans get their knickers in a twist when their club is far and away the biggest culprits.

 

How quickly they forget the goggles issue , Dakota North, Hans Andersen......strange little world down that way

So leave us to our strange little world and get lost, get back to guarding your bridge!

'Matters of fact' as defined in the Speedway Regulations cannot be appealed, heat results are defined as such.

Is that a relatively new rule Neil? (Last 5 years or so). I only ask as it was done a few years back when Redcar appealed a heat result in a meeting against Glasgow and the rede larded result after the appeal was farcical as they updated the Redcar rider in second, not the Glasgow rider in third and gave a point to a rider who DNF

Any when they have changed the result of one heat ?

 

Reading v Oxford, when Oxford used an illegal supplementary reserve in Heat 1. Left the stadium thinking Oxford had won 46-44 (and also wondering if the rules regarding supplementary reserves had changed for a second time that season); the following day, the SCB considered the matter and changed the score to 45-45.

 

I didn't blame Mr Sugar for his objection - rather our team manager for being incompetent.

 

The same should happen with Thursday's meeting - in fact, it should have been amended on Friday.

 

All the best

So you think Swindon should get an unfair advantage for breaking the rules?
