Could be argued footballs European UEFA cups draws are rigged to a degree, although they have the sense to do it before the draw takes place.

Having checked the fixtures Edinburgh are not racing that night. Birmingham and Redcar are racing that night in the KOC so not to late. Did you check all 7 Edinburgh riders are available that night Edited January 29, 2020 by MANSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at Lasse Fredriksen teams (probably from last season) and Grinsted was one of them. They race that night and I think have also signed NBJ. If my memory is correct then he also races for Berwick who are at Poole the night in question. I will look in the speedway star after the date to see if any Edinburgh riders are racing that night but that's why I mentioned Berwick.

RobMcCaffery Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Surprise last-minute change in the organisation of a competition to the favour of a south coast team? Anyone would think Poole had been relegated. Oh.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Just asked if I could get a bye to a later round of a snooker tournament if I didn't fancy my opponent, but got told no! If i'm too busy, i'd just have to forfeit. So how did Poole managed it? How can a "professional" sports organisation be more lapse on the rules than an amateur club event? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
