Killer Cat from Mars Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Looking forward to my first visit of the season to Britain's most picturesque setting for a speedway track. Let's hope the Hitmen can build up a decent lead to take back to the Midlands. I imagine it could be a little arctic up in the hills so wrap up warm everyone! C'mon the Hitmen.

Great Central Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Coldish ? the master (or is that mistress ?) of the understatement Can you tell me the teams please, Jayne ? Positively tropical at Buxton today on a day with little wind and some sunshine!! A well prepared track and some good racing but Dudley were just too strong for Buxton.

junior fan Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Well done to Rob, looks like his machine problems that have plagued him are sorted. Wasnt it a few years back that Buxton were stopped from using a rider because he got signed up for the PL. So how come now a few teams have riders that are riding not only PL, but EL and a cpl of teams have two PL riders and i think one may even have three. Seems like double standars and i cant really see how this is helping the National League, if there isnt sufficient riders maybe they should be allowing one commonwealth rider on a 5 point assesed average per team.

jamebabes1 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think Buxton need to revise their catering, the food normally runs out when Dudley are there (she's not used to a crowd) but to run out by heat one is not acceptable. Surely there is a fridge in these catering vans and it makes bussiness sense to come prepared, and to read the fixtures list might be a good idea. Poor turn out of Dudley fans Yesterday and still by heat one theses nothing left I think Buxton need to revise their catering, the food normally runs out when Dudley are there (she's not used to a crowd) but to run out by heat one is not acceptable.

Neil H Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 We understood your point the first time, no need to repeat yourself. The person concerned doesn't follow speedway so doesn't know whether Dudley will bring one man and a dog or 30 coach loads. She also has another commitment before arriving at Buxton. I'd have worried if was sold out before heat 1 but once the racing started, you ought to have been watching that not thinking of your stomach.

jamebabes1 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 It was sent from mobile don't know why it repeated. Its not really the issue if the burger lady follows the speedway or not (Buxton management know Dudley fans don't follow in 2's and 3's, so they inform the lady), if there's a service to be provided then there should be no excuses. Some of had a distance to travel and would have been nice to have some food available, if she has a prior commitment then maybe as i said the catering arrangements need to be revised. If the basic amenities can't be provided that what chance has the rest to follow. It's not as the food would be wasted there's normally a freezer on these vans. Not really good enough is it Neil H, and not a one off. I went at the start of heat 1 and there was nothing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper towels and hand sanitiser (water not needed) were placed in the gents prior to the start of the meeting. Perhaps it would be a good idea to tell someone at the track if they run out so they can be replenished instead of writing on here after the event when it is too late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas Jayne, I fear that's probably a bit of advice that's far too sensible for some to understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well i enjoyed the meeting, and as i have criticised the Track prep in the past, its only right and proper that i should say a well done and thanks for having a good strip to race on, which was the case on Sunday. It was also good to see Rob getting some speed back into his bike, which gave us some competitive racing, i feel maybe Buxton are one rider short of being a good Team, enjoyed my visit again, though maybe the result had something to do with it . Dont know about the food situation, but when it is done by outside caterers its always difficult to judge, for instance what happens if you get loads of food in and then get a rain off ?, guys lets be thankful, the weather is relenting a little, and we are getting some Speedway again, we wont starve if we are hungry for an hour or so longer . once again enjoyed the meeting on a unexpectedly MILD day up in them hills.

greyhoundp Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 So what about the food Jayne, what happened, as its not a one off is it. James, let it drop mate, i tried to give you an explanation in my note above, why dont we have Hot Pork Sarnies at every home meeting at Monmore Wood ?, we can all nit pick, but as i said above we wont starve, and after all there are worse places to pack a picnic than Buxton.

Jayne Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 So what about the food Jayne, what happened, as its not a one off is it. The food is out of our control as it is an outside caterer but I will mention it to them next time. You could always bring your own as some people do and then you wont need to worry. This is not specific to Buxton though its just one of those things after all I couldn't get a pork buttie last night but hey ho thats life.
