Hawk127 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 If a punishment has to be dealt out, make the guilty ride in the next x number of matches so as not to deprive the paying punter but the riders do not receive payment. The money they would have earned using an average is paid into the Ben Fund. If they decide that a way around this not to turn up then fine them a sum that is equal to the maximum they would earn if they had won all five rides and that money goes again into the Ben Fund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes a lot of sense and stops all the panic going on at the moment with teams sourcing other riders at an important point in the season. This in turn could pee off more fans and stop them attending meetings so doing damage to the sport, when numbers are dropping already.

That's totally irrelevant you know footballers can only play for one club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nowt to do with him. I can't see how Louis or anyone else can argue against his actions that lead to the ban. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has very little to do with Swindon (or Lynn with Cook) so a facility has to be granted, don’t see the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Cook Vissing Kennet They should all receive a ban for their championship club only, if they are banned from riding for their premiership club then might as well bang that final nail in the coffin of this absolute ridiculous sport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Can't see the point in Louis appealing the decesion. Eddie misses 1 match for the Witches this week and the weather not looking good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgy Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Cook just idling back to the pits, after the wind ups. Flag man walks in front of his bike - receives a shoulder barge. Should have have been the end of it, both in the wrong. Until Dugard’s get involved, not unusual. Very tame compared to a blind vicious assault.

And it was live on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Suspending these riders only causes more problems than are solved. Fines have to be the right way of dealing with it, together with appropriate levels of punishment for their clubs. To begin with, fine the riders their earnings from that match, then a percentage from a set number of matches from now onwards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
