A ORLOV Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 The Poole track staff seem scared crapless of putting water on the track. A couple of men holding hosepipes and afraid to put more than a light sprinkle on the track every 4 or so heats. Billowing dust for everyone to suffer, fans shouting out from the grandstand about it as a bloke holding the hosepipe waters the centergreen! Wheres the water bowser? It never shows its face during a meeting. Ever. Two hosepipes is clearly nowhere near enough. The very next race after a "watering" the dust billows up after a couple of laps. Far worse this season and unacceptable. Really needs to be sorted out, quickly. If you water dust it will soon dry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaleshifter Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 The weather forecast on the bbc has changed from earlier on and now has heavy rain showers right through to late evening so this could play havoc with any track prep. If the meeting goes ahead I will stick my neck out and go for a Pirates win by 10-12 points. On another note it was good to see Kyle Newman come through last night's fixture at Berwick unscathed.

False dawn Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 ..... we can't just go and buy everything. Maybe talk to a few folks that have been doing this for years. It ain't rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well looking at the forecast they will not need to water the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't Poland, we can't just go and buy everything. Where did you hear that he has sacked the track man? And yes, he can go out and buy everything to get the track right. Investing in track equipment to get a good racing surface is paramount to a successful business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Everytime Swindon come to Poole it rains.. Must be Rosco's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hope the weather is better in Poole than Torquay. Heavy rain right now. On my way to see my Dad who still lives next to the Stadium. Fingers crossed the weather forecasts are wrong. Otherwise we will probably see a Doyle revolt again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well if Doyle doesn't want to ride, he can stay at home. I don't mind!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not sure if this will go ahead as two forecasts have rain from 11 - 7, will need to check later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not sure if this will go ahead as two forecasts have rain from 11 - 7, will need to check later. Well the BBC one has rain from 10am-9pm!! (although it may be more showers than proper rain..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Latest radar shows a huge swathe of rain to the south west of Poole which is pivoting around on itself. The rain is a little further shouth than predicted. Depends whether it will sweep around and dump the wet stuff on us or stay in the channel.
