Racin Jason 72 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think that’s fair and consistent towards the riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 a level of consistency needs to be shown by the SCB, how they have come to those actual punishments is bemusing to say the least but then again nothing surprises me in this sport anymore.

cinderfella Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Ironic that the two riders with the lesser bans miss more meetings lol. Isn't that typical of British Speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just now, Crumpet77 said: I think Cook has got off lightly tbh, and should be NL guests only. Any mention of guest facilities Steve ? I'm sure the clubs will be allowed facilities, why shouldn't they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when has it said anywhere in the rule book an official's duties should include walking in front of a rider under power and obstruct him? Common sense tells you you don't do that - the guy was being an officious idiot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense tells you you don't do that - the guy was being an officious idiot. The flag Marshall was under instruction to stop the out of control Cook, Vissing and other rider from coming around and riding in front of the other riders who were still being introduced to the crowd, along with members of the public who were also trackside. The Marshall is a hero from stopping potential carnage. 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
