Technically there are, but no doubt the rule makers will be tweeking the rule that screwed Ipswich over the two legs. Had a top P'boro rider got injured then he could have been replaced by other decent riders, but an Ipswich rider got injured in both legs, but we couldn't replace them with adequate replacements.

I thought this was the worst I'd felt after a meeting, but then I recalled Oxford all those years ago.

For younger readers, we needed a 5-1 in the last heat to win the cup, Cook and Doncaster gated and it was nailed on, then Cook made a stupid mistake, took Donkey out, they got a 3-3, and the ignorant Yank was doing wheelies.

 

I was there and it seemed clear to me that Cook made no mistake that night - he deliberately ran his team mate wide and as you say went on to celebrate his team losing. Revenge against John Berry is widely considered the reason behind his actions.

Never head that conspiracy theory before, but certainly wouldn't say it was fantasy.

TBH if Sedge wasn't being such an utter idiot and not riding when he clearly can, you could have had IRR and then won that way. We can only beat what's infront of us.

I thought it was the Ipswich management who were wrong. Could they not have had a guest for Sedgmen due to him being in a FIM meeting half way round the world (or does that only apply to British riders?). If that had been the case they could then have had IRR for Danny in the second leg.

I don't think there can be an argument for a guest in the first leg at Peterborough.
