Great Central Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Since nobody else has posted about this meeting tonight, I thought that somebody should. Meeting starts at 7pm and there is no team news since neither team has published any. It is a must win for Stoke as they battle to make the play offs. I did hear that the M6 was closed J15 -16 which was affecting traffic in the area. Hopefully it will all be cleared soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boozer Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Since nobody else has posted about this meeting tonight, I thought that somebody should. Little interest I suspect but when there is no Stoke website and not even the "Urgent press release" posted on here anymore it does make you wonder where the club is going or not.

phlpoint Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 What's the point of me posting when my posts appear 24 hours later can you use this as an alarm for somebody who needs to be awake at 12 midnight 18.08.14 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 This meeting was utterly ruined for me by poor Tim Webster, who'd had a great winning first heat, breaking his fibula in two places in his second ride. The accident was no-one's fault, but Tim went beneath the safety fence, as I have seen so many riders do, at so many tracks. Surely, it cannot test the ingenuity of the combined speedway industry to somehow prevent riders and bikes sliding beneath the fence and becoming trapped, particularly near a hot exhaust? I am not suggesting that Tim would have been uninjured if he hadn't gone beneath the fence, who can say? What I am saying is that the fence is designed to prevent riders being injured, it cannot do that if the rider goes beneath, through or over it. Although to be truthful, given the amount of used tyres in the speedway sport, how come we cannot manufacture safety fences by using these pestilent and environmentally unsound used covers?

I felt the same. It was shapeing up to be a good meeting with Webster and Chessell then Tim's transfer to hospital did put a damper on procedings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
