Soak it and pack it Monday evening followed by the same Tuesday, Wednesday , Thursday and Friday, then normal track prep on a Saturday morning, that should get enough water down to the base, no good doing it in the daytime, as it will evaporate too quickly So all that it takes is to find somebody with the spare time to go down every night of the week and spend a few hours soaking the track. Which, bear in mind is 368 metres long, so will take a while. Then you have baking hot temperatures the next again day, so anything you have done will dry out in no time. As for the influence Nick Morris had over track preparation, you can only speculate about that. Only those who carry out the work will know the truth as to what the difference is between last season and this. Whether they are doing anything different, or if it down to the weather this summer. Those of us on the sidelines can only guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a promotion taking a full price admittance, so is it unfair to expect a full time commitment like Peter used to make to the club and it’s supporters? As he said on his interview on Facebook, nobody has done more laps of the track than him. Or were they “special times”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, by putting in the effort through the week, the entertainment improves and keeps people coming back week in week out and then tempts back those who are disappearing on a weekly bases, isn't it worth it.

The track isn't great, that's there for all to see. The entertainment hasn't been close to what it was last season. But my point is that we are having extreme weather conditions this summer, which for the man in the street are excellent, but for those trying to prepare a track must be a nightmare. It's easy for us sitting on the sidelines to complain and say "just do this" but in this heat it will almost be a full time job keeping the track in good condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that the promotion now also are working men who have to put in a day's work before they can think about speedway. Peter made his money mainly from renting out property and had a lot more time on his hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory yes it is. That would be the ideal scenario. In practice, however, it may prove a bit more difficult to carry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
