I think I read it in the Echo or the Poole site. If the base was smooth, so would the track be. It's simple? If the base isn't smooth, the track will never be, because the base is as hard as nails, and if you fill it with packed shale, the bikes will dig the top surface up. Not rocket science is it..
The base is no good. Said it time and time again. All they are doing is a quick fix... That's all they ever do. Bought 4 tonne of shale, that's not enough either. It's nearly gone already, hence why they can't water the track mid meeting. It will make it to slippery... It's all about ££££.
There is no excuse. The track was levelled and new shale laid. Trouble is the base is no good. And the 4 tonne bags of shale they got from Wickes don't last long.
They can't give it much/any water once the meeting is underway, because there isn't much shale on and it will make it to slippery.. Said it before, you can't polish a turd.
Bumps are back and dust already.. I wonder if they will water it. I'm not sure theres enough shale on the track to be able to. Hard to say looking on TV.
Agree. TJ and Tofty go so well at the AFA, it's a massive miss for the team.
They average over 15 points between them at the AFA. Compared to Lambo and Cookie @16.4 the pair..
The Robins by 10.
Wish the riders well. Tofty wasn't very lucky at the back end of last season either
As you say with TJ 7.71 and Tofty 7.44 at the AFA, impossible to cover for, it's Swindon's to loose now.
Bewley or Wright is about the best we can hope for. Others Scotty, Hans( not recovered) Tungate, Morris, Becker
