Covatti caught Berge’s Back wheel and caused the crash. Worrall had nowhere to go and got caught in the carnage. Covatti exc cause of stoppage.

Gavan Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Covatti looked out of control for most of the race and caused the crash and rightly excluded....he was totally over riding......poor Worrall got caught up in it all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual pop don’t rise to it. We know the track is far better now. Let the haters hate. We can just laugh at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Sorry speaking as a speedway fan and not a Belle vue fan. Fair enough to call time on a meeting if there is an official curfew and the club has no choice but if there is not then to me no club/ref should have the power to make their own rules up on the night and just call any match not just this one at a certain time because for whatever reason it suits them. Two reasons why it is wrong, if speedway is supposed to be a professional sport then the only way to get a true result is to run the meeting to its conclusion it not only affects the 2 teams racing but other teams as well as with it being a league match the result could affect another teams place in the league table and possibly be the cause of another team not reaching the play offs. The other reason is the fans, everyone has paid to watch 15 heats of speedway so if a meeting is called for no official reason then to me the fans have been robbed of 3 heats of speedway everyone then has a choice to stay and watch or leave its then their choice as it should be. Only my opinion but its things like this that to me make our sport look very unprofessional. Edited July 8, 2019 by B.V 72 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They provided their entry ticket for the BV meeting and got in for £3 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough re point 2 but what about the main point if a match does not run to its conclusion for no official reason the result is not a true result and can affect other clubs etc. Edited July 8, 2019 by B.V 72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
