During the Chris Shears era at Foxhall there was certainly a couple green light start meetings although I cant for the life of me remember dates and opponents!! There was also "The Redi Hire Pairs" held in awful track conditions - really deep and wet. Times I recall in the region of 74-78 seconds when the track record was just under a minute.

I think the first 2 GPs have all just been a cunning plan to make Prague look exciting!

Oh dear oh dear!!

Truly woeful so far!

so whos fault is it? Or is it just a 50/50 forum debating incident? wink

I have a great deal of sympathy for Boro on this one. Im sure the last thing they wanted was to have to call it off especially as late as it was but what choice was there? To have tried to dig in their heels I doubt wouldve made any difference and wouldve just alienated relations with the landlord. That could easily have put racing on any day at risk let alone that one date.

who are they then?

He could have been in breach of his visa in the 2015 season though if its validity ended with his contract expiry at the end of the 2014 season. If they then recontracted him for the whole of 2015 on a visa that only ran to mid May then that cant be legal. ???

Something I am puzzled about is that I thought any visa was only valid for the length of the riders contract. That being the case why was Proctors visa from May 14 acceptable if he was only contracted to the end of the 2014 season?

Just to rub it in all our faces its a beautiful sunny morning today! Bloody weather.

No problem with Boro at all or MPT individually. It doesnt matter what team or rider it is. If it was Ipswich I wouldnt being saying any different . The right thing isnt decided by whether it suits you or your own team and it is the attitude of "so long as my team can get away with it its fine" is the root of a number of the problems in the sport. Until that changes matters are not likely to improve.

Lambert missing away again seems very convenient to me! MC should issue a new avearge from matches ridden to date at the next cut off regardless of having ridden 4 away or not.

Never trust the BBC!! Persistant for a few hours now in Nacton although not especially heavy. A few small puddles but far from monsoon conditions. If it stops before start time I can see it being on and after a few slimy heats it being fine. Of course theres no guarantee it will stop!!

A couple of spits in last few minutes in Nacton area but nothing as yet that would pose any threat to going ahead

The BBC forecasts have continually revised the edge of the rain band further and further south by the hour until this morning. Will it reach us? Could all depend on a little extra wind- and we all know the problems caused by unwanted extra wind!!

i hope so or ive booked a hotel for the wrong night!!

fishing trip my ar$e - you meant every word! lol Now you are backtracking faster than Paddy Ashdown in a hat restaurant!

hopefully will stay that way for the 28th - its been a long time since I witnessed a Witches away win!

oh the irony!! hehehe

SCB - were you also informed of any others in this 60 scenario? If so are you able to list who and how they could be affected?

why would you replace Starke?? He is 2 points higher than Compton although I appreciate that is a situation that rarely concerns Somerset when it comes to naming teams! wink

Could be but just a mild mannered janitor ive heard!

Perhaps I was being a bit diplomatic and also trying to avoid egg on face when we struggle in one of the supposed 'easy' matches It just goes to show that all generalisafions are wrong! wink

hence the 'as such' at the end of the highlighted sentence!!

that means 10-2 in favour of my thoughts. Im happy to take that as vindication!
