Absolutely no way he would miss any meeting no matter where it was he is too professional and dedicated to his career. This has never happened before so maybe just maybe it’s the truth about flight having technical issues.

oh well another SCB statement incoming!

"We run the sport week in, week out, with Mickey Mouse, make it up as we go along rules, and no one complains, therefore, as always, there is absolutely nothing to see here, move along please, have you no homes to go to please. And if anyone thinks we don't have a clue what we are doing, explain how we increased the amount of opportunities for guests this year, see? eh?, visionary that, visionary, put that in your pipe and smoke it, keyboard warrior's".....

"Oh! And 7 day ban, to start from the next date when Ipswich don't have a meeting for the next 7 days"...

Doyle was actually sitting in the plane when due to technical issues everyone had to disembark off. So he didn’t miss his flight as such 

were you on next row to him ? how would you know that ???

It wasn't though, if Doyley was due back in the UK at 12:30, that's cutting it all a bit fine... it's the fans that suffer as usual

I live 10 mins from Stansted.

3 hours 47 mins to Belle Vue if I left now and it would be quicker than that if I'd left at 1pm

I remember that photo from Matej in his Manchester hotel room the night it was rumoured he wasn't going to make it..

Sent to social media about half ten at night..

Luckily we had a flood so the meeting got called off anyway....:D

Climate change hitting Gorton in isolation that night. Unlucky...

They are at home Thursday v Sheffield so if there is to be a ban (which there will have to be) when will it start and end?

As someone who travels regularly on A14 i and out of Suffolk etc and also on M1 / M42 / M5 whilst sat navs are now extremely accurate with timing  it only takes an accident en route to scupper that timing!

not sure why this has stoked up so much controversy.  witches clearly weakened by doyle’s absence.  no reason doyle would choose to miss the meeting.  early intervention taken by the witches management to ensure they field a competitive side…

From the witches website

Ipswich line-up with Charles Wright guesting for Jason Doyle. Doyle boarded his flight back to the UK on Monday but due to issues with the plane, all passengers were told to disembark.

Two riders missing should see the match not even taking place...

Ipswich Select is OK as a testimonial meeting team, but not OK as a team to be involved in a professional UK Sports League..

I've been to Belle Vue from here several times, the time suggested looks reasonable to me. Delays can happen but there are alternative routes from here also if the M6 is stuffed..

All plans work until first contact - you and I both know that nine times out of then that journey time will be accurate! The one time you are in a rush due to a delayed fight it won’t be!  The fact is he isn’t riding anyway!
