Tsunami Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I always thought his passing was more to do with the way he squared the corners off when overtaking!! Does it matter, it's still a pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytripper Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Just for completeness I understand Gerald was indisposed and didn't do the track on Monday. I don't know who did, it but getting someone else to do it at short notice may have had something to do with the condition of the track. The underlying condition of the track is still poor but it is unfortunate that the regular track curator couldn't do it. Unfortunately these things happen from time to time.

A ORLOV Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Gerrald was at poole all day. Really don't know who your imformer is. Maybe he should have stayed away then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 They just watered it a bit too late. The weather forecast taken earlier in the day was for some light showers in late afternoon/early evening. As the day progressed it became apparant that the light rain was not going to happen so the track was (over?) watered shortly before the start which went some considerable way to creating some of the issues with the racing surface. Thats not to say there aren't still some issues with the base which will be sorted asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with the base its the top stuff. Nothing that a good spike more dirt then left then a good grade wouldn't fix. Then a good blade. Turn one needs a bit more attention. But it will all be sorted way before the play off final.. Edited May 28, 2016 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Definitely not a track expert! Claimed the Belle Vue track was a rush job when he was told the state it was in last November, yes November, well over 100 days before the opening meeting! Dissapeared from the thread when it was pointed out that the same amount of track that took 100 days to complete (in a rush, lol!) was dug up to below the base and completely reinstated in only 10 days without rushing. I wouldn't rely on his opinion about anything, never mind speedway. Hah hah, you know it was a rush job, but you'l neve admit that... But hey, thats what happens when you get contractors in and the stadium is owned by the council.. Edited May 28, 2016 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytripper Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Gerrald was at poole all day. Really don't know who your imformer is. I didn't say he wasn't there I said he didn't do the track. Be that as it may there is no doubt that there were underlying problems with the track rather than failures of the track staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same old old from you, we had a very wet winter and contractors who tried cutting corners to complete on time, in hindsight they should of held their hands up and told the council that the weather has held them up and they won't complete on time. Come up and have a look now, a fab, fast, smooth well banked race track that's a credit to British speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I didn't say he wasn't there I said he didn't do the track. Yes he did do the track. Next question.

I simply made a factual comment. If I, or anyone else on here had a question about anything at all, you don't seriously believe we' d go to a nitwit like you for the answer do you ?

(Unless we wanted to know Jerran Harts release date ) Take my word for it pal. Gerrald was down the stadium and was doing the track all day. Now i don't know who your imformant is but he/she is totally wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
