Berwick Bandits v Lakeside Hammers. Championship 28/4/18


Recommended Posts

The way Lawson has been flying from the gate recently Bomber definitely weakens the Hammers. 

I remember Jon Cooks famous comment when Chris guested once before “Come on Bomber we know you can’t get out the starting gate but you’re hardly getting out of the pit gate tonight!”

Lawson ill - Chris Harris guests for the Hammers.

In that case, Richard will not be eligible for the KO Cup legs against Ipswich next Thursday and Friday.

16.5.1(h) is sick or carrying a non-speedway injury for which a Medical Certificate must be supplied to the SCB within 48 hours of the sickness / injury occurring in which case the Rider will receive a mandatory 7 days suspension of his SCB Registration from the day of the meeting.

It is "family illness"

If that is the case I don't know how this works now although he is still missing due to a non speedway injury. The press statement supplied by Lakeside just refers to its being due to illness. Obviously, though, I hope this means he is not ruled out next week.

It shouldn't matter.  If the rulebook says you should be off for 7 days you should be missing for 7 days.  Was it not brought in to stop riders picking and choosing their meetings (Lakeside are receiving a facility for him).

We will just have to wait and see the "interpretation" of the rule book as usual and what Promotions ate involved.

Another superb rule. If someone is genuinely ill but is ok five days later to ride I don’t see how they can stop him. Lawson needs to get in touch with Nicholls lawyer if they try and stop him earning a living.

How is it a stupid rule?

Last season there were lots of riders racing 1 night, ill another night and racing the next night. The rules have been changed to stop this as it's the fans who loose out when the riders pick what meetings they race in (the riders caused the rule change).

The way they can get round it is you get away with your first illness and then get 7 days off for other times you are ill.

It’s a stupid rule because if Lawson is ill why should he not be allowed to ride again for 7 days?

Because those are the rules.... to stop riders taking the mic by picking and choosing their meetings and denying suporters not seeing them. And having to use R/R. By doing this its a deterrent to the "dodgy burger" that has happened in the past. Yes in this case it means the public wont see the rider in 2 other matches but as a guest is now allowed for the top 3 the fans won't be short  changed  and will see 7 riders line up.
