What time is the curfew?……

Curfew is 10pm at Armadale, but meeting now abandoned due to lack of medical cover as track ambulance had to take James to hospital because NHS quoted 'up to 12 hours' for NHS ambulance to arrive and track ambulance wouldn't have got back in time to run even 10 heats.

Implication is that with current ambulance crisis (in Scotland at any rate) any rider being injured badly enough to require to go to hospital will mean automatic abandonment of meeting.

To be fair , Redcar overturning a twelve point deficit at Armadale is highly unlikely . He's not risking himself for a lost cause when he has the other league final on Monday 

Need to start following Poland's lead.

Was told that G Laguta was unfit for the first leg of the grand final on the Thursday so was banned from racing in the second leg due to the rider having to be out for a certain length of time (would stop all this nonsense of being fit one night and then suddenly being unfit the next after an injury).

Unless you have double medical cover/ambulances.

MPT apparently  did receive another knock to his hand when Ryan Douglas caught his hand as he passed him in ht10 , he was withdrawn from ht13 due to the discomfort in his hand and the fact the match was already over aggregate wise

Flare-up then?

Seeing allegedly abandoned as quoted 12 hours for an ambulance to come for sarj (dislocated knee) and rearranged to Tuesday

Should have just said he had covid symptoms, they would've been parachuting in.:o

Hope his knee isn't too bad, that might hurt. :t:

How about they just throw Edinburgh out of the play offs?  

How many times does speedway shoot itself in the foot time after time, should have adequate medical cover at all meetings just like all other forms of motorsport but it's all about trying to run a professional sport on the cheap.

Hope the AGM discusses this plus track covers and the fact speedway shouldn't run into October anyway

Aye, but how long will it take for an ambulance to rock up for that,,, 'put it in a bowl of salty water till Tuesday',,, if it's still causing issue by then, try and book an appointment online, @footinitdotcom. 

or download the free app.

Or simply pick whoever the winner of the Edinburgh v Redcar quarter-final and have two different racecards in the programme.

I went to Crayford v Newcastle in the 1983 Supernational final. The semi was run at Weymouth the night before, so the away team scorecard and heat details were blank.

Obviously you’re not aware of the shortages in ambulances this side of the border. Got no chance of getting 2 ambulances. 

daft post.

Wouldn't that just be a waste of paper and ink?,,, just leave it blank and give everyone a free pen! ;)
