g13webb Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 There can be no excuse for what happened last night. Poole must be THE worst track in the league. We travelled 400 ml round trip 2 years ago to see the play-off semi final only to be greeted witha masive hole magically appeared on the first corner. We were told of some unfortunate mishap happens but there was no materials availible to even make good. I said then I would never visit Wimbourn Road .  It appears nothing has changed. Their track, their preparation, their responsibility are all rubbish.. When episodes like this happen it does immense damage to our sport and to those who follow it. There can be no excuse for what happened last night   Post note: The AFA has been open now for some weeks, and riders have been practising almost daily. Surely its was not too much to expect that Poole should have made certain their track was racable.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Is this the infamous 'hole in first bend'? Mark my words, Matt Ford will be on his bike within 2 years! It will be a shame if it takes that long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Perhaps Mr Ford can't afford to spend a lot of money in repairing the track after spending big money to riders to risk there necks on it every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Message to the Poole promotion.You may have chosen to ignore complaints about the track in the past, or just fiddle round the edges of the problem, but you need to listen to the words of Chris and Darcy from last night and ACT NOW to get the circuit in to a proper condition. Wimborne Road does produce good speedway, but it could be even better if the track issues were sorted once and for all. I would suggest deferring the Coventry challenge on 19 April and get the work done immediately after Good Friday and before the U21's on 26 April.

nelliejim Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 As a Poole fan last night was an absoloute embarresment the club should be ashamed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Wonder if they will restage the meeting at Saddlebow Road. Better track Darcys first club in British Speedway and his best mates club makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Lemo's done a lot of work for Darcey's fund raising so I wouldn't be surprised to see it at the NSS next year. Good facilities for Darcy with a bigger crowd to generate more funds plus it removes that element of doubt that seems to surround Wimborne Road.

orion Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 At least Belle Vue had the excuse of not knowing about the problems with the track base. That's a matter of opinion . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That's my point, Its about time British speedway looked after there own badly injured riders first, DW had enough money to buy a lovely home on the gold coast and too travel to las vegas and other desinations, these benefit meetings should be for riders in real need of help who cant afford things DW can and last nights meeting should be the last one for DW in this country. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree as so many other riders are still struggling with similar injuries. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Darcy said in last nights programme that he is using the money from his meeting in Aus to fund a home gym/equipment to help him strengthen his upper body. So seems that he still needs it.
