Which words of mine do you not understand now, Liar Troll? I can help with your education into the world of human beings and the 21st century if would like me to.

 

Well done good effort, that nearly made sense.

This is more like dear Deidre than Belle Vue forum!!

Sorry everybody, I can't get the Liar Troll ('Game On' the poster who said they had proof that Dakota North's father was not injured) off my back - which is not a pleasant sight, or experience.

 

Hope you can get your Thread back now and Enjoy your speedway folks. Hope it happens soon.

Instead of all of these continuing allegations perhaps some people need to consider objectively what we now know about what has happened

 

The facts are that we now know that the problem with the track is and always has been the base on the 3rd and 4th bends, which was not constructed in accordance with the specification. We know it is a fault that was hidden under the surface and therefore not obvious to those inspecting the track and we know that the track can be ok, even after extensive practice but that cold or inclement weather can then cause problems to appear which could not be forseen or anticipated. We know this because of what happened before the Leicester meeting. On the Wednesday before the match on the Friday the track came through an extensive practice session ok but then late on the Thursday water had risen to the surface on those bends and was flowing down the track.

 

Going back now to the PCMM meeting, the situation on the Friday prior to the meeting was that two riders tested the track and it was OK. Even the Chairman of the SCB grudgingly admitted after their investigation that on the Friday the track looked as if it would just come right for the Saturday. We know that the track looked ok on the Saturday, we know that the riders were not paying undue attention to those bends during their track inspection, which they would have done if the problems were visible and as obvious as some must believe. We also know that the SCB referee, who had control of the meeting from 2 hours before start time, did not call off the meeting, which he would have to have done if the track was visibly unsafe.

 

This all clearly points to the fact that there was no reason to believe on the Friday and during the day on Saturday that the track was not raceable and that the meeting should be postponed.

 

It was the cold inclement weather on the Saturday which caused the track to become unsafe,just as it did on the Thursday before the Leicester match but at that time nobody knew about the defective base.

 

On a different aspect, I can understand why some are pointing out that Colin Meredith should have, supervised, overseen, advised, on the track build and should now do so with the repairs. As has been said many times, the MCC are in charge of this project, Belle Vue cannot insist or demand anything. The Council are aware of Colin's expertise but only they can decide if they wish to utilise his skills.

Don't waste your time and energy trying to explain to someone who clearly only wants to lay blame.

Yes let's get back on track .What we've learned so far is that the management at Belle Vue are not to blame for the state of the track,which is now being sorted out.Poole's track meanwhile which Starman kindly informed us was laid in a week and has come in for some criticism looks like its not going to be repaired any time soon.The money is probably earmarked for the main stand and back straight terracing which Shovvy informed us is in a bit of a state.Meanwhile some posters think the new NSS stadium is a waste of time and we should have stayed at the dog track!Oh well its nice to beg to differ I suppose.

Holes, dips, crowns, adverse cambers, ruts, are notoriously hard to reinstate, crowns being the easier.. Holes and dips, even after filling, wackering, filling, wackering never seem to "stay" filled and always seem to get "power slided" out! Or absorb water quicker, soften, then get graded out! Where possible, it's much better to grind a hole/deep rut bigger and not to leave a vertical edge.. Fill the bigger hole, which is now more of a dip with small layers, wacker well, them another layer, wacker well.. if the problem area is really deep, into or through the base, then a soil stabiliser can be used in the initial filling, but don't overdo that stage, build the infill up slowly, difficult to do in winter if it's very wet, short of dry weather and little sun/warmth as the layers will not fully cure....

 

In my opinion.

still not repaired that hole the tractor driver 'accidently' dug on bend 1 ?

 

you would think poole would be able to spend big and get it done properly and not keep bodging it up

I think by 'WC' they meant the replacement for the infamous back straight bogs A ORLOV!!! :wink::D

I wish you were right, but no they were talking out of the wrong orifice.

The projected stadium has a spectator capacity of 3500 and confirmed parking for 572 vehicles at the stadium .

If stadia uk charge for parking and there are alternatives available next door to the stadium do you think people are going to pay to park.

I will not pay for parking if I can help it, I have never paid at Poole when I visit.

Fingers crossed then, can't see how it's possible to dig it up and relay it in just 8 days when 100+ days was a 'rush job'. I suppose it will only show those peddling the 'rush job' theory as blatant liars which can't be the case.

 

Someone is lying though?

NOT sure that anyone has said they took 100 days to finish bends 3/4 after the contractors had stopped using that part of the track as an entry/exit point.

 

Three months (100 days) before the scheduled opening the rest of the track wasn't laid. The theory is that the contractors bodged that last section and that combined with the weather and one or two other reasons it didn't settle as had the rest of the circuit. Now, presumably, they have completed the track to the same specifications as the rest and all, hopefully sooner rather than later, will be good.

 

No doubt Sky will be anxious to see the junior match go ahead but without it my guess is they might switch the fixture to Wimborne Road.

So im getting the gist from this post the whole of bends 3-4 are going to be re-laid then ? Very wise, because if they don't i would fully expect the problem to be ongoing.

And yes, our old track curator put in the present track at Poole in a week, save for help with fence poles and chicken wire..
