  1. Then we need to find a way of declaring it a wet meeting, with a wet setup, whatever that may be. Can't just keep calling them off based on forecasts
  2. I do, and that's why the sooner we move to awarding these matches and not trying to put them on in perfect conditions the sooner the riders will realise they're missing out on a pay packet
  3. To be fair there is rain about, I'm a mile and a half from the track and we've just had a shower, nothing that would have come anywhere near to canceling a meeting... but they're not even giving themselves a chance of putting a match on.
  4. Are you Sam Ermolenko in disguise Yeah, I get the count back but where is the consistency?
  5. Why was there a run of for 1st? When nobody cares who wins this meeting. Surely the run off that was needed was for 4th and 5th in case Fricke qualifies in the top 6 in the GP's.
  6. Not a clue, had never heard of him until the GP's and never heard of him after the GP's. Edit: 2 according to Wikipedia
  7. It is tremendously difficult, the forecast for the next few hours seems to be changing on the hour... which is why you just can't rely on a weather forecast in this country. Personally I don't like to see matches called off unless there's actual real rain, but like you say I don't own a club. But what ever happened to preparing a track for forecasted rain, having sawdust ready in case... and dare I say it, track covers... all this 2nd guessing with what the weather is going to do is doing the sport no favours at all. It's getting on for September and here at Leicester we've got to rearrange Kent on a day when Nicholls isn't with Buzby, Edinburgh, again and now Glasgow... and the KO Cup
  8. Another match to fit in before the play-offs... and we seem to have completely forgotten about the KoC
  9. It could have been held at Leicester if they wanted riders strung out from the start... especially as the forecasted rain has failed to materialise
  10. If by swings and roundabouts you mean wrong decision made then yes I do agree. Another Saturday night with Beaumont Park laying silent
