You can! It has gone against Poole before. Against BV I believe in KOC. It may have been in the days where you had to do 12 to get a result though.

BSN commentary saying the track was “very dusty” after heat 1… It’s clear Poole wanted to continue until heat 10 and then finish. I was at the track and can confirm it was dusty right from the off. To be fair I've been at Ashfield when it's been dustier. I'm 100% convinced that if the meeting had been squeezed to Heat 10 then Poole would have wanted it called. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they would have and that is why although many including me didn’t agree with it at the time it was the correct call in the interest of a fair outcome. Anyway it wouldn’t have got to heat 10 as the rain got heavier after we eventually got out the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous to call that off especially as the away team were actually losing but wanted to continue and no money back for the fans Readmission tickets were given out on exit.

Completely agree, I was there as well. Totally agree re heat 10 as well. It should be a rule that in cup ties or aggregate scoring fixtures, both have to run the distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin sedgeman also said the track was raceable and they should continue, he also said if Starke hadn't fallen it wouldn't have been abandoned.

Noelinho Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Yes, I agree, after some thought, the heat 10 issue does cause problems. Requiring these matches to go to heat 15 would certainly help avoid some of the politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Starke falling, that’s a bit like saying if it didn’t rain it wouldn’t have been abandoned, no? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down to potentially 5 riders given Starkey carrying knocks already and a not ideal track. But leaves a bitter taste, why wasn't it earlier start or even Friday night. To hell with BSN coverage if that was the reason!! Absolutely no truth in this at all. We at BSN work around the clubs and have zero influence on start times.
