Peterborough v Lakeside KOC, CS SF & Play Off SF 6th/7th Oct


Recommended Posts

Can you have your heatleaders (barring #1 at 1) anywhere in the 1-5? 

If so, would have been tempted to have Ully at 2. 

Aarnio, Ully, R/R, Grondal, MPT, Lambert, Sarj. 

That way, end a little bit stronger, 10 - Ully (RR) & Grondal, 11 - Aarnio & Ully, 12 - Grondal (R/R) & Lambert/Sarj, 13 - Aarnio & MPT, 14 - Grondal & Lambert/Sarj.

No curfew last week and meeting went on longer. So how come we were fed this bullrubbish tonight.

Don't lie and treat your fans with contempt. 

A scandalous decision to pull the plug tonight with the riders on their way to the tapes for heat 14. Us mugs that handed over 25 notes, were shafted by an imaginary curfew that didn't exist two weeks ago. I can't see anyway the sport can survive with the clowns that run it.

Another new low for British speedway - just when you think it can’t get worse 

Feel for you & everyone else who were mugged off tonight. Worse thing is nothing will get done about it, in fact it won’t even be acknowledged as having occurred 

Fans will continue to be treated like dirt until there’s nobody left

So have I got this right?

 

1)  NLRC scheduled for 3pm

 

2) Peterborough v Lakeside scheduled for 5pm

 

3) Lakeside ask for NLRC to be brought forward to 1pm so Morley and Bowtell can ride in both

 

4) NLRC  start moved to 1pm so Morley and Bowtell can ride in both

 

5) Lakeside name two guests for Morley and Bowtell, both of whom are available to ride on Sunday

 

This is REALLY extracting the urine

If the meetings have been moved to allow Lakeside to put out their own side then this is a poor show from them

Would still be tight mind you. The NLRC could easily take 2.5 hours and finish at 3.30 and its not inconceivable that Morley and Bowtell will be involved late into the meeting

Is it realistic to expect them to pack up , travel from Leicester to Peterborough and set up in just 90 minutes?

Lakeside have certainly pulled put all the stops in their choice of guests and there is no doubt they are stronger as a result

On the face of it although within the rules it appears against the spirit of sportsmanship

It almost has me wanting the Panthers to win! :o

I expect the referee had to agree to the meeting being curtailed and a reason was needed so he's just as much to blame and he certainly had the wool pulled over his eyes if he fell for the "curfew time" excuse when one doesn't exist. Perhaps Rye/Lakeside would like to tell the paying fans what action was taken against them 2 weeks ago by the local Council when they over ran the (imaginary) curfew !

So what would have happened if with two heats to go the result of the tie had not been decided?

And also how are we allowed to have Josh Pickering for Ben when we have only been allowed R/R for Kyle (both are second strings)?

I am just glad my lasting memory of the Hammers was actually at Lakeside and not this farce which has replaced it.

When both second strings missing one has to be replaced with a guest ( cant run double r/r)

r/r for Kyle means a heat leader gets a ride rather than a reserve having to take 2

I still feel very bitter about last night's events. I feel a precedent has been set to abandon a meeting if a result has been achieved. I just feel like speedway has hit a new low for me, if that was possible.

Flick a coin or maybe paper scissors rock? 

I was tempted to go last night but after seeing the price decided against it, sounds like it was money well saved I am yet to see anyone say a good word about Rye?

A team bends rules to give them an advantage.... so what's the issue? Been happening for years and will continue to do so if the "rulebook" allows it. Whilst there are Lemmings that continue to pay to watch this "sport" it will not change anything. The "Promoters" don't care about each other... as long as they are not the ones taking the hit. 

More of a jokesport everyday....

Apologies - of course Kyle is back!!

When riding in another British meeting (double up) that takes precedent the a guest is allowable rather than just r/r
