heathen chemistry Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 never questioned hans commitment , he has always been commited to watever club he rides for the questions were being asked because he wasnt scoring what he should be scoring whether that was down to set up , confidence, or just bad luck ...only hans really knows what used to happen was when a team member is struggling with either , gating , confidence , engine set ups there would normally be a whole day set aside for practise and or testing for that said rider or riders to help them get it right doesnt happen nowadays ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Is this match definitely on Sky tonight? Sky Guide is showing Leicester riding? It's Cov vs Poole. Also now the only 1 of 3 EL meetings for tonight to not be off (yet!), lets hope it stays that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlata prilba Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well unless the track is under 1 foot of water I don't expect Sky will allow it to be called off Coz not Poole love riding in slop especially when its on Sky as we found out at B Vue few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Riding (not racing) on a wet track is just another way of robbing the fans and damaging the sport on international television. TBF, there's a few EL tracks where all you ever get is riding and not racing on a good day. I've seen enough gate and go meeting over the years to know it doesn't matter how wet or dry the track is, it can happen. I'd say if anything, the tracks where it's wet throw up better racing sometimes - obviously only to a certain point but it's beyond the point where they seem happy to call meetings off these days. In fact Cov vs Lakeside recently, heat 10 saw Bomber gate, be passed by both Hammers before retaking the lead - great race, so great track you'd think, nope, they called the meeting off 2 minutes later! In fact Chris Harris is even better to watch on a messed up track than a well prepared one. I'd imagine Garrity wouldn't give a crap either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good to see Havvy's got his finger on the pulse as usual!! 'Speedway: Havelock backs 'box office' Darcy Ward to make immediate Poole Pirates return' - taken from today's local Echo. www.bournemouthecho.co.uk Hopefully those who questioned Hans' commitment to the Bees recently will be feeling a little silly now!

Aces51 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 My gripe is how Sky seem to stop paying attention to the meeting and keep reiterating how we are clearly being rushed through get a result. I cannot stand it when I see rain start chucking down at heat 4 and we are made to watch 6 dire "races" with riders going down left, right and centre just to get a "result". Well the result in my opinion is a rubbish image for the sport and a bunch of let down fans.I also feel it is one of the many reasons international riders do not want to race in Britain. Why would any rider want to ride somewhere where they could be put out on a wet and dangerous track, that are in many cases already dangerous enough with the state of some of our tracks. You won't be popular in Dorset. The commonly held view there is that matches should continue until a result can be declared even in monsoon conditions. The only provisos are that it must be an away match, Poole must be the opposition and they must be winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Cheetah Snr Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 There is no way that this will be on tonight unless we are going to use boats. Every forecast is showing a solid band of rain crossing most of the country starting late afternoon ang going into the night. I wish that Sky would call it off now and save themselves and every one else a load of work and trouble. Wolves and Belle Vue been off for hours, at least they have got some sense.
