Speedy swindon pete Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Shock...the track hooks another couple of riders off. You can forgive a dry track if expecting rain, but a ploughed field like this is unforgivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 People moan and bitch about lakeside and eastbournes track surface. This is frankly bloody horrible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 This track is way too dangerous. An absolute disgrace. Worse than anything the referee has done tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hate delaying tactics but ONE referee should not unilaterally decide to exclude riders in this manner. Seems neither team was warned before the meeting. Does this clock only appear at Sky meetings cos it doesn't seem to be part of the normal Coventry set up I've never seen it before but apparently Matt Ford has bought one for Darcy so he knows how long he has to down his pint 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why prepare a track that's dangerous to the riders , makes no sense . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Sarge Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm not sure which is worse, this refs continuing vendetta against Swindon or the state of the track? Combine the two and it's made an awful advert for speedway, the sport is dying on it's ass as can be seen by the lack of a crowd at a previously well supported track!

TheReturn Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why prepare a track that's dangerous to the riders , makes no sense . I am no expert in track preparation but I am fairly sure they did not set out to make a dangerous track! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looks like they are changing rules when this clock is going to be used,surely they have to tell Team Managers and riders before meeting starts.It not rocket science if you have to be ready to race before the clock goes to zero. Ref is only following his own rules by the looks of it.What a shambles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well I've turned it on now to view what this farce is all about... Now, was Steve Worrall not under power then? He'd slid off and at the time Garrity went down he appeared to still have his hands on the handlebars so assume the cut off hadn't come out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why would Worrall have to be out? He may have fallen but he still had power. Still had cut out in and hand on the bars. Could easily have remounted to continue had it not been stopped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Track is awful, is this normal ? Unfortunately- YES. Off on Friday because of rain, then stock cars on Saturday. Result - a ploughed field with dust storms. Awful- and dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
