Should be mandatory in what is supposed to be a professional sport. It's good to see that the Birmingham promotion has listened to the paying public and as from this Wednesday onwards there will be 2 paramedics and 2 ambulances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Very unlikely Berwick will get anything with only five riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enotian Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hope Proctor is on commission for the scran van. Must have done a roaring trade today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 A heroic point for the Bandits with some shenanigans from the Diamonds with George Congreve having “delayed concussion” after two rides and the referee being called to the pits after heat 15 to investigate Berwick complaints about Paul Starkes silencer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple thing would be Fine clubs who cannot deliver a meeting within 120 minutes, and fine them double the amount it would cost to have an extra ambulance etc. There For anyone with common sense they would get the extra ambulance just in case 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandits4life Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 First of all, fair play to the Bandits for sticking at it and getting something from the meeting with only 5 riders left and also special mention to Bickley for his ride in heat 12 to effectively get us something from this meeting. As for the meeting itself, bends 3 and 4 were a problem. In the opening race it was clear it was catching riders out, however nothing was done about it and this led to Proctor's crash (get well soon) in the following race. And with the exception of Bomber in heat 15 it was gate and hug the white line sort of stuff. Then we come to the medical situation. Whilst I understand a riders welfare should come first, it is getting on my nerves as to why given the pressures on ambulances etc, it hasn't become mandatory for 2 ambulances to be present at a speedway track. This has to be a requirement asap. To wait over 75 mins whilst the ambulance went to and from the RVI was a farce and any first timers there would be put off from coming back. I only live 15 mins away, but apart from seeing Berwick I couldn't stomach watching that every week and I find it hard to imagine some home supporters being prepared to watch this, especially if in the coming weeks Newcastle return back to losing week in week out after a fluke home win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a fluke when our riders outscored your riders 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Also the ambulance situation... Newcastle used to always have 2 ambulances at the track at one stage, I'm assuming the cost is preventing that nowadays? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have an "allowance" of time for on track injuries which is incorporated into the overall running time to complete a meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
