Normally refs aren't allowed to watch replay of a stream for league meetings as not every club provides it but not sure if it is different in a challenge meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago I think it was Geo stancl got excluded for touching the tapes and thankfully snapper was down at the tapes and was the blatant was the opposition rider touched first. Referee asked to see his pictures and reversed his decision. Surely if there's video evidence you use it. Mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they think it is unfair that you can watch a replay at Poole and potentially change your decision and not have the same option at Glasgow, for instance. It could change the league table in theory. Although that was last season it might have changed for this season! Especially as only 3 teams don't stream? Oxford, Glasgow and Berwick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Christina the ref at Oxford could really done with it when said Jacob hook fell off on his own when clearly got wiped out lol. Yeah they should use anything they have available to them to make correct decision. Most need all the help they can get!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real problem with this is home snappers/ video technicians will jump up and down to correct a decision that goes against the home team, but not when a manifestly wrong call is made in their team's favour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Surprised the Swindon Select won that after the heavy defeat at Oxfam. Doyley didn't win a race last time out. Swindon Robins normally did well at Poole in the latter Premiership years, like Coventry, one of their favourite tracks. Shame the 1000 Robins fans that were at Cowley didn't make the long trip to Dorset. These meetings perhaps would be better run during school hols, plus the iffy weather, and at least you dont have to pay in advance. It keeps the Swindon Robins name alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Skidder1 said: Certainly some fast race times with Doyley recording the fastest of the season so far in heat one. Track grades after every 2 heats agreed with both teams and ref after the track walk! With Doyley so much faster than everyone, some of the races were a bit processional but nonetheless a decent challenge in front of a sparse crowd - maybe the presence of a GP rider doesn't attract more fans if its a meaningless meeting??!! Yet there was a capacity 3500 at Oxfam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) One Swindon fan on facebook said he was shouting and crying after heat 15. Such a shame Swindon closed, used to be some great racing between the Knobs and Moonrakers. How speedway has gone downhill in recent years, sad to see, after the glory days of the 60s, 70s, 80s. In 1979 Blunsdon held 37 meetings, 7 individual meetings!!! Edited May 11, 2023 by auntie doris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith obviously rates himself, I guess you have to be positive as a rider, but when he comments he can win races in the Champ & Prem, while looking for a team spot, I think he's over estimating his ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like back wheel was close to the white line or on it to me. Though they prob not going to be overly picky in a challenge meeting!
