If I were Glasgow I would rearrange after the cut of date saying that the forecast might dictate that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Another bloody farce. This is not funny in view of the travelling involved. If the cut off date is fixed and the fixture cannot be completed in time, what happens to the available points? Are they scrubbed, shared or handed to the away team? This is speedway so I’ll wait to be informed of the amateurish contingency the governing body has in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scenario is Poole win by more than six against Redcar and Glasgow beat Birmingham on Friday it will be Poole Glasgow. if Redcar get a point at Poole and Glasgow win Friday it would be decided on aggregate points. Redcar get more than a point then they finish 2nd. And Stewart Dickson has shot himself in the foot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If had been left alone would have been raceable is the view from our end of the pits Again why are the away team having control over what happens. Aren't you supposed to set up the track for the home team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what has happened in the prem before, you get any points when you complete the meeting. So if it after the cut off they don't count towards the playoffs but will put them on the league table.

mikebv Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 If only someone could invent track covers.... Perfect for meetings like today where a dry evening follows rain before the match... Would also give fans confidence to attend who may currently decide to stay away if there is the slightest hint of the meeting not taking place due to a wet track... Maybe one day someone will invent these track covers... Probably need someone from NASA or somewhere like that to get involved though....

It seems this season especially wet meetings have been abandoned or postponed where the common consensus has said that the track "looked" OK. In Poland a rider from each Team goes out 1/2Hr before meeting starts to access track condition.Why is that not done here,or is digging you heel in the track tell you everything.Joke!! Dan Thompson made them look stupid.The other had no intention of even trying.Heard a few disgruntled regulars saying they have had enough,which is not good news. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, if we manage to beat Birmingham and Poole don’t lose at home to Redcar then we are safe in second. Like others have said, Howarth didn’t look happy from the off!

There wasn’t the slightest hint of the meeting not taking place because of wet track IMO. Even the staunchest Tigers fans must be wondering what was going on.

I feel sorry for the Facenna’s and the track staff.What we witnessed was nothing short of farcical.They should had called it off before any track work.(if it was as bad as the riders thought.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
