packerman Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Glad this meeting has been called off as the weather is absolutely awful now. Even allowing for the covers if used it would be a quagmire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Sky can insist all they like, but are you going to find the Volunteers to put them down and take them up? Not after the debacle at Swindon on Monday as covers didn't work on the track & produced a meeting of poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a great meeting but then i am not a swindon fan who is still blaming everything but the swindon management and riders.

Joe Beevers Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 you need specsavers if thats what you think people are writing. we dont dispute the hole we dont dispute the call off. what we do dispute is the lack of effort to put it right No ordinary person would say that. That is a clear troll right there saying you need specsavers, so you have proved twice that your trolling. I don't consider you posts worthy enough to reply so if you do try and talk to me, I will be as quiet as a mouse on cotton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Not after the debacle at Swindon on Monday as covers didn't work on the track & produced a meeting of poor quality. They did produce a meeting of poor quality but full credit to Swindon for getting the meeting on. I applaud Swindon for running the meeting. Every effort should be made to get meetings on no matter what the weather. So what if its processional from the gate with riders getting filled in. Those are the conditions get on with it. What we should do is just postpone any meeting if there is a bit of rain in case the racing is boring. Ive watched good and bad meetings on dry and wet tracks. Swindon could have easily called it off. They didnt and fair play to them. Coventry like wet tracks Swindon dont. It was all about on the night. The track could have been dry and Swindon win easily. There you go. Ask Uncle Rosco what he thinks, i'll tell you, you'l get the same answer, but probably stronger.. Use your head. Rosco will be disappointed that the weather was awful and the meeting was run in poor condiitons but will be more disappointed in the lack of effort from some of his team then blaming the conditions No ordinary person would say that. That is a clear troll right there saying you need specsavers, so you have proved twice that your trolling. I don't consider you posts worthy enough to reply so if you do try and talk to me, I will be as quiet as a mouse on cotton. Im pleased you dont think im ordinary makes me feel special. is saying someone needs specsavers trolling? or pointing out a fact? you obviously cant read properly or you would be able to understand what i have written and what everyone else is saying.

Crazy robin Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I thought it was a great meeting but then i am not a swindon fan who is still blaming everything but the swindon management and riders. Not from me as I doubt that whatever the conditions were Swindon had riders who have a history of bottling it when the pressure mounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Swindon fan has blamed anything but our inability to gate on Monday night? We were gash and we got deservedly battered and every Swindon fan on here has said that.

It was NOT a great meeting - it WAS a great result for Coventry! The management and riders are to blame - of course they are. However, if the track had been dry then I think Swindon would have progressed - we will never know! Coventry were better in the conditions and deserved their win.

since 1962 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I read the posts on this thread with dismay, I wonder how many of the people posting actually support speedway. It seems that most people on here would prefer a meeting to go ahead at all costs no matter what the conditions or danger to the participants.

Star Lady Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hardly a week on Saturday - Poole are racing in Poland!!! Totally irrelevant surely the EL takes precedence to a British club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMungo Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Lucifer Sam- Yes the final was scheduled in for next Wed but if the Poole vs Kings Lynn meeting is done as well it's another 22k to add to the bill which could again fall victim to the weather so best just to do a mini broadcast which should cost only around £1000-1500 depending whether we show in full or just clips on Sky sports HQ. We have been lucky today with an before broadcast call off have managed to reduce some crewing costs and uplink costs. Would many fans watch the meeting if available via Sky sports website with no commentary,interviews or replays ? If next week does not happen I can see the final being one off meeting at neutral track maybe KL or Leicester a week on Sat I watch all the meetings on Sky Go anyway - wouldn't really bother me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
