There have been many Scottish footballers and managers called Jock, most notably Jock Stein and Jock Wallace. Don't forget World Sidecar Champion, the late Jock Taylor. Steve some quality names there Steve . i sort of remember Jock Taylor from the sidecars . Stein was a great manager and a true legend of Scottish football .missed the SIR off Jackie Stewart . sorry about that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should try taking the abuse A&E staff have to put up with In Cook's version of events - as published in last week's Star - he didn't hear anything of the presentation announcements as he had his helmet on and didn't realise the parade was still going on!!!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marshall exited the scene. at that point the incident was over or at least should have been. But a host of Eastbourne people - the dugards, track staff, security guards and riders - all confronted Cook and Vissing and the fracas ensued. Exactly. Some people are so hung on the fact the Cook started it by pushing off from the presentations they seem to be excusing any other behaviour after that. 3 people got punished, rightly so. However Eastbourne got off lightly and there statement seems to indicate they carry no blame. Such a blinkered statement, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwaysliders Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just out of interest ,does anyone know the rules regarding track time for riders before a meeting? Seems like Alfie Bowtell had 2 sessions with Martin Dugard prior to the meeting starting.How can they prepare the track when theres some rider on the track going through his bike set up with the person who should be getting the track ready to race.Im not having a pop at Alfie but would the facility be there for all riders if they get to the track really early?!!!

I would imagine that as long as they aren't giving track time willy nilly to anyone AFTER the referee has signed in, then there is no problem. The track can't be sterile for x amount of hours before the meeting i'm sure otherwise the scb etc would have to be paying for the privilege for that. I guess to answer your question, yeh anyone could turn up beforehand - but as it's in the hands of the owners before the ref takes over, they wouldn't have to let them in.

Didn't the boy Edwards also have time on the track? Presumably doing lots of laps would create some wear and tear on the surface including ruts. If the ruts were covered in loose material the surface would look smooth but if you hit one the bike could take of. Perhaps that's why the Glasgow riders were kicking the track and that's why it looked like they were creating holes when they were actually uncovering them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
