SpeedwayTShirts Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Crazy that Chris Simpson hasn't been reinstated to be honest. Cmon Bees management sort this and everything will be 100% spot on! Thanks for the fans vote of confidence, we miss being part of the family at Coventry in 2015. I've not been to a single match this year, the whole episode's left a very sour taste and put speedway very much on the back burner for now.

Gemini Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 What's happened to SCB? Not like him to miss the chance of a good argument by ignoring questions asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Drizzling? It might have started off like that at 7.30pm but it soon became a steady downpour throughout the match. It was also chucking it down all the way home to Leicester. So what you are saying then is you'd rather it was called off altogether and there was no attempt to try to run it? If so you wouldn't be on here complaining the promotion had taken your entrance money with no intention of running the meeting and left us standing around in the cold and wet while a decision was made. Or another option - call it off about 4pm to stop people travelling as the weather forecast was poor. Take your pick. I was also under the impression you've been coming to Brandon a few times this season so which of the last 2 matches out of the 3 you've attended have you not seen the match completed? As far as I can see they've all run their course, apart from the Chris Harris Testimonial which was rightly called off way before the start time. I'd say it was drizzle - couldn't have been that bad as we stayed on bend 1 and 2 where as in the past its got so bad we had watched heats from the back straight to avoid the rain. I'm of the opinion that if you start a meeting when it's drizzling, the forecast is for rain and the sky doesn't have any breaks in the cloud that you have an obligation to carry on to the end unless it gets any worse. Isn't it funny that meeting can get to heat 10 before getting called off, when was the last time a meeting got to heat 11 and was called off? Always heat 10 as if thats all they care about,it's all that matters, because at that point they don't have to refund any money! I've seen MANY meeting over the years run in worse conditions. Including 2 or 3 heats of last years play-off final that our management DIDNT want calling off. The last 3 meetings I have been to have been this one, the BV meeting a few weeks back and the play-off final that also got rained off.

Gemini Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Drizzle is a light liquid precipitation consisting of liquid water drops smaller than those of rain – generally smaller than 0.5 mm (0.02 in) in diameter.[1] Drizzle is normally produced by low stratiform clouds and stratocumulus clouds. Precipitation rates from drizzle are on the order of a millimetre per day or less at the ground. Owing to the small size of drizzle drops, under many circumstances drizzle largely evaporates before reaching the surface and so may be undetected by observers on the ground. Definitely detected more than drizzle falling into that big puddle on the centre. But hey ho...... never any point in arguing with a man because I've learnt from experience that they just make up any old rubbish to get their point across. So okay it was just drizzling with rain all night and the riders are a load of wimps for not completing the 15 heats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Is Jason Garrity the new Nicki Pedersen? Tried taking Ellis to the fence in Ht.5 & was trying the same on Newman at Poole, several times, in the final last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Jones Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Is Jason Garrity the new Nicki Pedersen? Tried taking Ellis to the fence in Ht.5 & was trying the same on Newman at Poole, several times, in the final last year I don't think so myself. I've never seen Garrity" scratching his nuts" in front of a tv camera. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Or blowing his nose with his dirty blue cloth and then wiping it all over this head and face. No wonder he's got spots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
