I saw an article in the Speedway Star today where Mads Korneliussen refers to his exclusion after his collision with Chris Harris. He's calling for a second referee - well, I can see why in his case, but wouldn't that lead to plenty of scope for argument? And do we really need two?
As an aside, is it me, or did he call Chris Harris blind?

I don't really see the point of having two referees, to be honest.

With some of the referees 1 is too many.  |

Bugger - I thought this was going to one of those joke threads. You know- how many referees does it take to....etc.  |

I reckon a ref is needed on either or both the 1st/2nd bend and 3rd/4th bend.
The communication would need to be sorted, as to who has control of the buttons when a race needs to be stopped but having a ref on the bends will provide a better view when it comes to exclusions.

Three referees. On in the tower on the starting line, and one in the middle of each bend. If an incident happens on bend 1-2 that referee has absolute power. Same goes for the ref on bend 3-4. Everything else is for the head ref in the tower. Maybe? |

I would stick with one ref. Yes, he's going to make the odd howler, but a bit of controversy, every now and then, is good.

Don't you dare compare Mick Bloody Hucknall to the man who crafted such beautiful songs as "Eleanor Rigby", "Hey Jude" and "Got To Get You Into My Life" |

Can't stand Simply Red, especially Fairground. Yep, that one is annoyingly bloody awful as well. In fact, did Simply Red ever do anything that wasn't complete shite? |
