I'm a Panthers fan but the entire scenario stinks. If that happens they should get a guest facility as MPT is "witholding his services" he then gets a 28 day ban & misses the 2nd leg of Premiership final!

In my limited experience of him he seems a very genuine guy. It's easy to understand how he might try to ride last Thursday, struggle, then pull out of Friday. However if he rides on Monday I would have thought he has to ride the next day or forfeit the facility. Don’t agree if he can ride for Peterborough in both matches next week but not Redcar on Tuesday but CAN understand it. Maybe last chance for MPT to win a league title. But don’t think Bears should be denied R/R. Not their fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 20 hours ago, Falcon1983 said: Speedway needs to open it's eyes and look for additional cover I've ran events, we had a local ambulance on site plus a private "medical car" which came with two paramedics The private medics would perform pre event medicals for participants and also deal with any potential injuries during the event If an injury required a trip to hospital but without the need for assistance the athlete would be accompanied by a volunteer If a more serious issue occurred (thankfully it never did) the ambulance could take the athlete while the event still had medical cover Oh and there was also a doctor on sight as well. Having one ambulance is doing it on the cheap, hoping for minimal risk and ultimately betraying the fans when it goes wrong When i went to Lydd for an amateur meeting earlier in the season, they had an ambulance and a paramedic vehicle on site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey well if the league and cup don't get decided who cares, Glasgow av filled their pockets!

I wonder what I was doing for the two days I took off my work (holidays) to fit sockets, new lights, heaters, help with the painting etc. I thought it was for the first aid room (that FIM wanted I think) but obviously it wasn't. I will agree it wasn't used as much as it could have been (luckily enough). John then bought an ambulance so it therefore was never really used after that. When the speedway started using the football changing room, I would suspect they would (if necessary) have use of the football room as well (would like to think as I replaced ballasts and lights in the rooms, hospitality area, toilets and the showers).
