I think you'll put the points on the board though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m honest I was disgusted in the attitude of certain riders tonight, “some “looked like weren’t interested, me and my family paid good money to watch that and it was dreadful, it wasn’t racing, if modern bikes don’t work in those conditions then change them because the conditions will not change, those 7 heats were not acceptable with the exception of a couple of riders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they should have had meetings at home rather than away at Glasgow, Redcar and Scunthorpe. Seniority should have meant that these meetings were held on their alternative days. That may have then allowed the NDL lads to get their meetings in. Edited August 10 by edmon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seniority is an unnecessay and outdated concept and the NDL tail has to stop wagging the Championship dog. NDL meetings should either be held when the Championship side is riding away or on your alternative race day - you do have one?

But Edinburgh didn't need to race at home on all these Fridays to fit the fixtures in. They possibly could have been left blank in case of rain-offs / progress in the KOC or BSN? But would seem harsh to stop other teams racing on a Friday just so Edinburgh could have a spare date they may not have needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present they have moved NDL meetings for CL, and I'm sure it will happen again. I don't think Glasgow folks would appreciate Edinburgh trying to give younger riders opportunities.
