Wolves v Witches Monday 21st Aug


Recommended Posts

Ok, nobody i doubt will be interested. But in the light of what happened to the photographer at Edinburgh several weeks ago all
tracks have imposed restrictions.
Meaning in most cases photographers cannot access areas ie dog tracks nor behind airfences. (centre greens only)
Right, i am sticking up for ALL club  photographers, on Monday night at this meeting there were TWO women marshalls stood on the greyhound track
at the entrance to turn one right by the dog rail approx 4 ft from the fence. Both women did the same at various intervals at the meeting.
Now if clubs want to impose restrictions it should be for all and not just the few.
If a rider had lost control of his bike and the bike flew over the fence niether women would have stood no chance.
They may have signed waivers, but all photographers signed waivers and have public liabillity cover.
This is plain to see on the Eurosport coverage clips.
Now in the defence of club photographers this has been noted..
I do hope somebody OFFICIAL  reads this  !!

we have all seen bikes fly across center green areas as well so nobody should be on center area., all in the interests of safety. in fact everybody should be wrapped up in cotton wool. eh we are nearly there.:shock:

He was assessed at 5 but an Aussie can't go below 4 I think

On re-checking I believe you are right. Although I cannot find anything specific in the regs I notice that Jake Allen and Zach Cook have been locked on 4 point averages for periods of time this season.

The trouble is being the 3rd heat leader some expect him to perform like the other 2 which was never going to happen

No. At the start of the season King raised his own hopes, and hasn't responded.  Fair enough that he's much or a muchness, alongside other such riders, but I'm sure even King himself would accept that he's not done as well as expected.

Why not contact them directly, rather than hope someone reads this page?
