stevebrum Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 You did not say that. You saidif a stadium has ever failed to deliver on its promise step forward the National Stadium. That was a broad generalisation and now you are throwing Friday in to back out of an apology. Soft Soft, mmm ignoring a question asked is soft. I asked for your opinion on Friday and you choose to ignore that. Friday didn't deliver. Saturday did. It gave everyone a great track and a full stadium and is something to be proud of. I certainly am and will continue to be. so to summarise in case you yet again miss my point. Saturday was outstanding , Friday was a damp squib. We can finally say the stadium and track delivered on its promise tonight and hopefully will prove to be our finest stadium for years to come. any chance of answering the question? Cool. I thought the track on Friday was prepared beautifully. It was smooth. It was grippy. It was stupidly fast. Hence why it took 2 seconds of the track record. But it wasn't conducive to good racing. Thanks for the information. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Better meeting tonight than lastnight, however BSI have some serious answering to do charging the prices they did for a very poor presentation. The temporary stand was absolutely pathetic with the excited Pole contingent we could hear nothing at all. Sorry Belle Vue won't be visiting again for a major event!!Pathetic post.

speedibee Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I think the track tonight turned out to be what most of us were hoping for , fantastic racing right from the first race to the last and despite the Aussies best attempts nobody wound up in the ambulance . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejam Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Not long home from an absolute belter of a night at the National Speedway Stadium.Wonderful atmosphere,superb speedway racing and every rider busting a vein for their representative countries. After Fridays poor race off meeting,my ex-serviceman buddy and myself were prepared to give it a miss(even though we only live 30 miles away!!).A massive credit to all involved for making the night a very,very special one indeed!!

The temporary stand was absolutely pathetic with the excited Pole contingent we could hear nothing at all. Sorry Belle Vue won't be visiting again for a major event!!Really? Am I being 'whooshed' as you must be making an obvious wind up? A truly GREAT Speedway meeting that cost me £45 in total (including race off!) for me and my 13 yr old lad... Watched the sport for over 40 years and watched thousands of races..... One of the best meetings I have ever attended.. No 'follow the leader till the track comes to them' nonsense... Great racing from heat one.. Loads of Poles generated a fantastic atmosphere, good natured but patriotic and we all congratulated each other at the end. Atmosphere and noise at a Speedway meeting? Whatever next? A truly GREAT night for Speedway in this country.... Lucky to have this fantastic track on my doorstep... Privileged to be there to watch sixteen riders use every inch of it trying to become World Champions.. PS (Shame we cannot bottle it and watch this every week in the EL. You would sell out the venues every time).... Edited July 31, 2016 by mikebv 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Just got back to Poole and have to say it was much better coming back than going by 3 hours! Superb performance from Woffinden who led from the front. King eventually came to the party as did Cook. Lambert found out what hard first bends were but the experience did him good. Rosco spot on with his tac moves. Silver is a fantastic result considering Sweden and Australia looked stronger. Great crowd, great racing, great result, farcical light show. Needed some fireworks. A joke health and safety said no. Well done to Poland who deserved their crown. Off to get some zzzzzzzzzz. Happy days.

Pirates Of Poole Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Fantastic meeting and well done to Poland on the win, team GB did us proud with silver. Now getting ready for the long drive back to Poole. Thought the ref made a few mess up's last night if you follow the rules in the programme - only 1 tac and 1 joker permitted per team - Aussie ht 12 Masters replaced Josh then heat 15 Holder replaced Josh with Doyle on a joker in heat 16, so I make that 3!! No tacs permitted between seats 17-20 - Sweden make a late change and Put Freddie in ht 19 as a tac in place of Antonio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyderd Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 An apology for saying the track failed to deliver on Friday yet gave us a cracking meeting on Saturday? Read my above post if in any doubt. one of your earlier posts suggests that Wolves is a better track, last night proved that you were wrong to make judgement on the NSS on 1 poor meeting that was spoiled by earlier bad weather, something we have all seen at tracks world wide. I have no desire to make an issue out of this so lets call it quits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 What was wrong with Holder when he was asked to come out on the tac sub? He didn't look very happy and also when he came back in after winning the previous heat? Was it just because he was going to be off the outside gate or maybe because he could see Lemon had messed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tacs permitted between seats 17-20 - Sweden make a late change and Put Freddie in ht 19 as a tac in place of Antonio. If that's what the programme said then it's wrong. The rules are that each rider can have one TS ride so long as you're 6 points behind, it's one per rider not one per team. They can be made at any time in the meeting. The heat 17-20 rule only applies to the joker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 What a differrence a day makes !!! Yesterday we had pages of complaints about the Run-off and how bad it was. Today we have pages saying totally the opposite. Both meetings were run at the same venue; Both matches had the same crowd, Both matches had the same riders. The only difference was the preparation of the track. When considering 1000's of fans are appreciative of the brilliant racing that Saturday produced, it just goes to show how important the track man is to the promotion of Speedway. When the track is as good as last night the concept of speedway is far more exciting and easy to sell. Promoters doing cost cutting on track preparation and the materials use, are on false pretence, when in fact they are destroying the excitement the fans crave for...... The meeting last night had it all, Wonderful occasion tremendous atmosphere, exciting racing. For GB to collect a creditable Silver Medal was the icing on the cake. It would be wrong to be judgemental on individual riders but special mention for Woffy, who showed what a great rider is really is in this world class field. Congratulation to Poland for being SWC Champions, but the biggest winner last night was the sport itself.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle off the pace and yet another reckless move to get him excluded. Lemon messed up. Great night, I'm trying to remember what did Doyle say about England ??
