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.

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). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have double medical cover/ambulances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was three ambulances present at the last grasstrack meeting i attended. Coventry always used to have at least two in attendance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope his knee isn't too bad, that might hurt. Edited October 8, 2021 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a horrendous crash - best wishes to Sarj. Don't know where this leaves the semi-final at Poole on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Poole can't wait till Tuesday at 10pm to decide who they want to face on the Wednesday. So would have to pick Leicester or delay the semi.

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.
