Pirate Nick Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Surely it's more being able to pay all the expenses of the meeting to heat 10 and saving the headache of having to schedule the meeting into the fixture list again and their rider's already hyper busy lives?Sorry my mistake, it's the cynic in me, but you're obviously right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsc1 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Precisely. They are serious in getting meetings ON and have the equipment and skills to do so. The minute one raindrop falls here there is already calls of `its too wet for the riders`. We just don't have the skill or more importantly the equipment to save meetings. Or the interest it seems. . Think you need to put your brain into gear before you say over here we have not got the skill,,,,,,,,, with the likes of doc at wolves and buster at kings Lynn there as good as any track guys in Poland Sweden....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 . Think you need to put your brain into gear before you say over here we have not got the skill,,,,,,,,, with the likes of doc at wolves and buster at kings Lynn there as good as any track guys in Poland Sweden....... My brain was fully in gear. Talk to them, i have. There is only so much they can do without the right equipment. I was talking more about promotions taking the easy route over here. NOT the track guys. The track guys don't have the right equipment for downpours, and turning a track around enough quickly after a heavy amount of rain. If you had read the post properly you might have understood that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Wouldn't it be great if British speedway clubs all owned their own stadia and had nothing else programmed in to stop them doing whatever they wanted!!!!! Ooops sorry, nodded off there for a moment!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee jay Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 i don't think it's just about a lack of equipment, there seems to be a big difference in how the track material reacts in bad weather. i can't comment on poland but certainly in sweden it rains, they stop for a whileand after grading if the rains stops off they go again no problem. over here the tracks seem to hold the water and turn into mud hence meeting over.
