The Tiger passes the new speedway mascot 'smell' test with flying colours.

James GrievesThe removal and re-awarding of our 5 r/r points from ten days ago to Redcar by those kind chaps at the SCB has taken more than a little of the joy out of the Tigers victory over the Brummies on Sunday. Ultimately the points are meaningless to us as regards league position, but the record books will show that on that particular Sunday, the efforts of the Tigers riders will go unrewarded as far as league points are concerned.
Lioness over at the Unofficial Glasgow Speedway site puts it far better than I ever could...........
Whilst I agree that Glasgow maybe shouldn't have named Conda if there was a possibility he wouldn't be there, the rather petulant and frankly illogical nature of the points switch leaves me a little nonplussed. Why not declare a whitewash? It would be just as sensible.
The whole thing leaves a nasty taste in the mouth and smacks of a group of rulemakers who seem more than happy to hit the easiest target. >:(

get someone who knows the rules in the promotion rather than the current mob
Does such a person exist anywhere?Maybe a lack of savvy on the part of the promotion in not making absolutely sure they were within the letter of the law before the meeting started. Or possibly they found themselves in a tight spot with Conda not making it in time and decided to go with r/r and hang the consequences, in which case they can't really complain.
I think the bizarre manner in which the points were re-allocated annoys me more, but it's all water under the bridge now. See ya at the SC Dekks! ;)
