Belle Vue v Somerset - 30/04/2018


Recommended Posts

Well I called it earlier on that I thought we might sneak a point, and with Doyle and Holder continueing their fine form from Poland yesterday it's a pity we didn't get any more. Belle Vue no doubt weakened by having no Worrall but it's unlikely Charles Wright will have another stinker of a night again considering the form he's been in this season. 

A good well earned point it seems.

Obviously the circumstances of Cook missing the Workington meeting resulting in him missing the KO Cup final MUST be have been completely different to Lawson missing Lakeside and Howarth missing Sheffield.

Both lawson and howarth were reported aa been "ill" so no difffence at all.

Howarth was not reported as ill

He was explained as having an injury of a bruised thigh from a racing incident so very different

But rules state he has to miss 7 days...

Rule 16.5.1 h to be precise 

The ruling appears transparent.

I read he was unavailable because of a family illness - not necessarily him!  So compassionate leave which probably isn't covered by that rule.

It can be the only explanation.

Everyone seems very eager to get a rider a seven day ban. No doubt the Aces management will enquire as to the validity of his inclusion tonight.

No one is eager to get anyone a seven day ban.  The rule stats it. Unless you think we should allow rule breaking??

Just to be clear,  I don't agree with it.

You're quite right Najjer, cracking match, Rebels fully deserved a point. Doyle was class, Holder really quick too. Very impressed with the reserve Jeppesen, first time I've seen him, carried good speed all night. 

What a race that heat 15 was, riders 4-a breast coming off the 4th bend lap 1, brilliant stuff!

Great match again with plenty of exciting heats and all run in a quick and efficient manner. 

I handed in my form to join the new supporters club, sounds good. 

The seven day thing was implemented last year just to have another pop at The Aces. Even though it’s now in the rule book it wont be used, well not until another pop is required.

What's transparent about it?  looks pretty black and white set in stone to me. 

Now if this was Poole trying to pull this  off their would  be uproar.  .

Or maybe the Lakeside statement wasn't quite correct?

Are you trying to find an excuse, or do you know?

I'm saying that people are taking the Lakeside statement as gospel, yet it's worded poorly and could easily be misinterpreted. I'm led to believe Lawson wasn't ill.

Sugarray has previously posted earlier in the thread also implying everything is above board, who is a very reliable poster.
