I'd argue from what I've seen that Cook's actions were pre-meditated by events of previous 90 minutes, Vissing acted like an idiot all night and Kennett over reacted to seeing Cook's attack om Marshall. I would suggest if 10 days is the entry level that Cook is very lucky not to get 20+ days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 No mention of any sanctions against Dugard or Eastbourne's failure to control their track staff. During this time we have Leicester B home and away this weekend with Leicester away on the Saturday. Guest choices will need to be wise. Perhaps Chazzer Wright could do us a turn for Friday and Sunday. A small track specialist definitely required for Saturday. I was going to say Danny King but there's no way Damo would allow that. Remains to be seen if the Glasgow riders appeal, at which point they should still be able to ride until the appeal is heard. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s barely a thing in football where I assume you’ve got the wording from. And it wasn’t track staff doing the fighting anyway was it. Hangers on and riders were throwing the punches. If anything I would imagine the clerk of the course would have some questions to answer for letting the whole thing get out of control. Failing to control their track staff.. Flippin eck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Quote from SCB statement: Over the last 2 weeks, the SCB Co Ordinator has requested witness statements from a number of licenced officials who were in attendance at the Eastbourne v Glasgow fixture on Saturday 3rd August, and also has reviewed video evidence from the scenes that happened prior to that fixture. The 3rd of August was 8 days ago. Mr Vatcher's time sheets must make interesting reading 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with giving 10 or 12 day bans is that a club with two home meetings in that time can flood the track and the referee says it is not fit for racing so the rider does not in fact miss any meetings while another team may have four or five away meetings in that time which the rider has to miss. The bans should have been one/two/three home and one/two/three away matchs so that they all miss the same number of meetings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Not sure whether Cook would consider appealing the ban as that’s risky business as if SCB/ACU rule the ban is fair and he delays starting it now then he will be prohibited from riding in the GP Challenge in a couple of weeks and the Championship riders final. Also like with any appeal the ban could be increased Edited August 11, 2019 by flagrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be mention made of the responsibilities of the Eastbourne promotion to ensure all Marshals are aware of their responsibilities which include keeping themselves and others safe from harm. There is an infield line on centre greens for a reason at all tracks, it’s the SAFE distance a marshal should stand between centre green and track. And NEVER on track when bikes are on. If Eastbourne aren’t held accountable or put out there own statement about safety of staff then no lessons will be learned and it’s yet another accident waiting to happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 If the 'Glasgow Two' dont appeal we could always whip the transformer out of the floodlights, you can only get them in the Netherlands you know and they are on back order, get Scottish Power to urgently dig up the mains electric cable to the stadium or have the water bowser taps accidentally stick open and flood the place. We'll need to do it early though as Damo will be there with Dicksons reserves ready to Twitter everything within an inch of its life! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
