The Dog Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 7 minutes ago, lionsroar said: In an ideal world a 2nd ambulance would be a great idea . But it simply costs far too much. Having 2nd ambulances at meetings with simply cause a price increase to supporters to cover the extra costs incurred for an ambulance that would be used/needed once every few years. But even with a 2nd ambulance tonight’s meeting would have still been postponed because the paramedic would still have been in the broken down ambulance. Who would have been driving the 2nd ambulance then? Pretty sure he'd have been a paramedic and not the local binman surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paramedic is in attendance as they can administer certain drugs, techs can't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like tonight the paramedic was not the driver Usually private ambulances are driven by first aiders/ambulance drivers which are not qualified to treat like a paramedic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sport has reach an all time low( and that’s putting it mildly).Total joke,winning a Trophy is so hollow.It really is just 4 blokes doing 4 laps on a bike,so the fans are just turning up when there is nothing better to do and there is not a cloud in the sky.Sad times.It’s a bonus for me that I have seen some decent meetings at Ashfield this year as a neutral. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Too much negativity on this thread. The AA van has just turned up to sort the RAC vehicle that broke down on its way to attend to the ambulance that broke down. The ambulance is now on its way to BP and will hopefully be there in time for the re-arranged meeting on Tuesday. As precaution, Green Flag have been put on alert to cover all bases. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Does anyone else think that this could be a betting scam? What odds would you have got at a bookies that the two home teams would lose their leg of the quarter finals of the play offs followed by the following leg being postponed due to lack of ambulance cover and both rearranged for next Tuesday? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow you found out before the club. I was stood next to Alan Jones, just by the green container in the pits when he took the call at 18;45 from the paramedic saying that they had broken down.

Nonsense I have a text from someone in the pits well before 6:30pm confirming the Ambulance breakdown and also on this thread it was also mentioned well before the time you state. If the call didn’t come through until 18:45 as you say what was the reason the riders didn’t start to warm up their bikes then? Did you not think that odd ? Perhaps if you had asked why they were not preparing to race they would have told you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
