John Scrutton Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I seem to remember that they had a rule where the ref used to put the yellow light on 2 minutes after the finish of the race that had just finished that would solve a lot of time wasting. I think its in the ref's power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWP Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 The new racesuits are growing on me  Pleased the new race suits are growing on you. Nicklas and I designed them, taking into account a number of factors. Yes from the front possibly too black. However the original design did have more colour on front, but this got changed in the manufacturing due to how suits are stitched. In our original design the shoulders were meant to be yellow with the blue stars. Speaking to sponsors, we chose black for legs and chest as this is what sponsors like, it shows up sponsors logos far better when not lost in a colour. The riders like black legs as colours on inside of leg change due to oil, dirt and engine heat. Last years yellow legs went green due to this. However other than when rider is off the bike, what do you actually see when racing. The sides of the race suit, hence the yellow and blue down legs, under arm and reverse of arm. If you look at the photos from P&P of the team riding, then I think you will see what I mean. I appreciate some won't like design, I hear riders and management like them. But it's a race suit and if team is in this years finals I think the topic of conversation won't be about race suits. Lol - David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame someone couldn't come up with a top that the fans could then buy as a replica for them to wear at meetings, the same as every football club in the Country does.. Must be a few quid in it somewhwere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will ask management about it and see if It can be done for merchandising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theboss Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 People blaming the promotion for long drawn out meetings,isn't it the refs job to move procceedings along  Due to health and safety restrictions the referee is not permitted to put the two minute warning on until the all machinery has cleared the track.  Therefore the referee can actually do nothing to move a meeting on if a tractor driver decides to stay out on track for half an hour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty2hotty Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Regarding replica race tops, Jaybea Designs, the King's Lynn Track Shop, will be providing replica race tops for adults and children. They should be available within 3-4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Don't think the first batch of pictures from P&P did the race suits much justice. They look much better in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comment was if it definitely started at 7.30 (as stated in PR) and all over by 9.15 we would go. Guess I'll have to wait another week for a peaceful evenings TV viewing  What also got mentioned was Bob Dugard was notorious for track grading but we can never remember too much standing about or late finishes at Eastbourne.

Bob was on the track before the riders had gone back to the pits, he was superb producing a good track and keeping the meeting going fast, many people in charge of track grading should learn from him as I agree, too much hanging around now in cold evenings puts people off going till it's warmer.  Bring back the rakers would be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 UK not a priority for Holder. He has said it on numerous occasions on facebook and twitter. Poland first second and third. Only reason he rides UK is a visa so he can be with his son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concerns from last night is Josh Bailey who is clearly out of his depth not going to crirtise but this league is just a step too far .

My concerns from last night is Josh Bailey who is clearly out of his depth not going to crirtise but this league is just a step too far . Top riders have to make Poland their priority because that's where the money comes from (if they get paid), that's why it's so annoying that the bribing Polish authorities put their latest rules into place! As for Holder, time will tell, it's really odd supporting him in Stars colours, he probably feels the same racing in blue/yellow, he's certainly not replacing NKI for scoring power as yet.
