Paul Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Travelling up from the capital, any weather updates please Jayne? Hope it hasn't rain to much over night. Hoping today's meeting is on as I always enjoy my trips to Hi Edge. Hard one to call, as long as the weather behaves itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 The weather didn't behave itself. Â In my view, the meeting should have been called off after heat 11. The last 4 heats (in particular the last 3) were farcical. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree the last few heats were all about who gated first and got round but unfortunately the referee ruled that the meeting continued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Hammer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thank fully no, presenter at Monmore is lively and has a laugh, well buxtons will make u fall asleep if u listen for long enough. He is so boring. Quite enjoy his cheesy to and fros with the guy in the box  Was also surprised the meeting continued after ht.11 - but I wouldn't argue with Margaret Vardy, she looked quite fierce. Reminded me of the old days riding around on slop & getting completely filled in.  Strange incident in Ht.14: Luke Chessell's helmet caught in the tapes, as they were loose and went up slower in the middle. Ref seemed to miss that one and let the race continue with Luke stuck at the back  A great day out at, probably, the most scenic track in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackneyrocket Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Well done to the Raiders on a good result on the road. At least one Rye side is doing well. Well done Andrew Silver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Margaret Vardy issued a warning to Rob Branford after he anticipated the tapes and made a monkey of her, she stopped the race and called all four back which is fair enough. Rob repeated the performance on the re-run, yet Margaret Vardy let it go. Now, I don't mind riders like Rob Branford and James Serjeant anticipating starts and making monkeys out of referees, however, consistency is vital, if she warned Rob for doing it once, she should have chucked him out for repeating the offence. Further, consistency was not adhered to regarding Chessell hitting the tapes with the peak of his helmet, although I have no doubt that this was not his fault. Â As a Buxton supporter, I thought that continuing the meeting after heat 11 was a disaster. However, Robert and Kyle Hughes showed that the track could be ridden, so I cannot grumble about that. I can grumble that Buxton riders chose not to believe the track was rideable. Â Regarding Mark Northall the centre green announcer, he is informed, informative and doesn't get people's dogs thrown out of the stadium, nor does he make rude comments about opposing supporters, neither does Graham Tagg. Porky however, does not conform to any of the above criteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porky does it his way & others do it there way, it would help if you hear the guy at Buxton.Some speakers work,some don't , some now & again. Its my only gripe about Buxton.

Its my only gripe about Buxton. Fair comment. One thing though, as far as I am aware, Mark brings his own PA and that seems to work ok. There is a BT engineer amongst the Buxton supporters who is on the brink of retirement, maybe he could be coerced or beaten into sorting the track PA system out?
