Blackadder Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I don't know the facts but I would assume it was because the Pits were so full, they had to create a gazebo extension just outside, to cater for all of the bikes.

Hel'n'Back Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Aye the stadium owners have spent all that money on upgrading the stadium and made the pits smaller! Ridiculous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) basic health and satiety rules , plus the amount of people and machinery in there. sad , but IF something went wrong...... you cant just walk into a workshop and get away with it. nothing against Garry, great chap. but you have to abide by the rules ............ big meeting means bigger rules. it could be the claim that finishes Sheffield speedway if any thing went wrong....

Stan Duppcomic Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I did notice that the stadium Health and safety nazis were ordering lots of people about. The staff looked scared stiff of them. Maybe they were anticipating a repeat of those clowns invading the pits last year and clamped everything down. Given that one of Sheffield's promoters is Julie Reading who is great friends with Garry, I don't for one second think they would deliberately do that to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 The H&S people also said that there was to be no parking against the back wall facing the entrance to the pits, which is where riders' vans have been parking for years, and no reason given for their decision.

jenga Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 you sure health and saftey was the reason?? not sure at all arson f. just maybe things were a bit tight in an already congested pits area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerblade Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I seem to remember years ago there was a big hoo ha about Carlos Villar, he wasn't allowed to be a mechanic because he wasn't allowed in the pits, and I believe that came down to H & S too in the end. Unfortunately Owlerton seems to have to suffer with overzealous stewarding/H & S jobsworths due to its proximity to the Hillsborough stadium.

I was hanging around the vehicle access to the pits wating for Garry to sign some old 2003 Hull photos for me. It took him a absolute age before they even let him in!!

screm Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Edward had no blown engine at Berwick. His Heat 1 withdrawal was not mechanical. Same bike in all his races. Wrong, Kennett did blow an engine in Ht1 at Berwick the previous evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
