IT wasn't 'taken from him.' He had to include his passport with his visa application and couldn't retrieve it while that process was taking place.

Skidder1 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 There is an article in the printed version of today's Bournemouth Echo (not on the online version as yet!!) about the track work that has gone on.It reads: "Matt Ford believes the Wimborne Road track is back to its best after extensive repair work was carried out. ...Ford admitted material costing thousands of pounds had been placed on the track but that it had not been fit for purpose. And the Poole promoter is hopeful that following repairs, those problems will be a thing of the past.....We have had to go in different directions to resolve the problem. On Friday (8th June) we had six different people working on the track - both current and ex-track curators had an input. ...The product which we had put on was the same as that used by Somerset and the Isle of Wight and all of us had to take it off. It was just not capable of doing the job. The material just wouldn't bind, it was just like sand.'I'm very confident the issue has now been resolved".

Skidder1 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Matt Ford said on BBC Radio Solent this morning (at about 0749 hours) that 'there is still the possibility of one or two more changes'!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Cheap shale causing the problems by the sound of it as Somerset have had track problems too. The higher up the leagues you go the better the track needs to be but expenses cut to pay riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just not capable of doing the job. The material just wouldn't bind, it was just like sand. This just shows how amateur track preparation still is. Any semi-competent geotechnical engineer could specify appropriate material and immediately tell if they were supplied with a duff batch. Just putting it on the track and hoping for the best is pathetic. It is not a coincidence that the GP temporary tracks got a lot better when BSI engaged professionals in the field for their tracks instead of the old boys network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSI can probably afford it and reuse the shale once a month. Unfortunutely UK speedway can’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
