Thischarmingman Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Time for Chris Harris to get a 9-5 job by the looks of his whining on Twitter. Completely understand the desire to spend time with his newborn, but to make reference to his wife's birthday, and it being Easter is pathetic. Better check for any family milestones, next time it's a bit wet on a Friday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 He has a point. The forecast has been atrocious all week and even predicted snow at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewmac Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Total nonsense from Harris. Maybe he should have thought about this before signing for a club at the other end of the country. Can't see his time at Tiggerland lasting long if he takes the hump every time there is rain in the air, which is almost every week at Glasgow. Absolute plonker.

Have to agree,20 years ago He would have wanted to ride in these conditions,the Promotions are in no win situation regarding the weather these days.

tiger tiger Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 The annoying thing was that if the meeting was at glasgow it would have been on - 39 miles apart but clearly differing weather patterns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Think most Monarchs fans would agree that Armadale has its own Micro- Climate,a few years ago the meeting was dry but a mile away it was pouring down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, with that in mind, is Chris going to cancel his journey every time he checks the met office forecast and sees rain on the horizon? Let's hope not, or you guys ain't gonna see much of him. I'll repeat. Plonker. Utter plonker. He's contracted to attend meetings and race. Not whine like a baby on Twitter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Overreactionfest. He probably shouldn't have said what he did but why start name calling and suggesting that he won't last long? All a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he was disappointed and frustrated just like every Glasgow fan that travelled through. Like the fans that phoned the track and no one answered, like the fans that looked at Facebook and saw a post urging them to turn up, despite it apparently been raining for some time and the fans that turned up when it wasn't raining to be told it was of. So stop trying to divert attention away from the real issue here which is the shocking way the Edinburgh promotion treat fans 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapeworm Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 4 hours ago, Mr Blobby said: Buying online you can either attend another match if you can’t or don’t want to you can ask for a refund on your ticket and it will be refunded. Been there. Got the T shirt. Match probably re-arranged right in the middle of my annual holiday. So, after entering my life story in their website and devising a password comprising 19 letters and 7 numerals but no punctuation marks, refund received less booking fee and admin charge. Phone them to complain. "Your call is extremely important to us so please hang on, at premium rates, while our only employee finishes his tea break. In the interim, listen to this awful music." Eventually speak to some guy in Mumbai who doesn't speak understandable English and hasn't heard the expression "effing con artistes". I once got charged a "convenience charge" of £5 when trying to pay a parking fine by debit card online! So I sent them a cheque with a note saying "See how convenient this is for you when you have to take it to a bank in the nearest big town with no adjacent parking and get charged by the bank for paying it in". Not for me, mate. I'll stick to cash at the turnstiles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Clubs should perhaps be more honest when asked about weather conditions at the track or the likelihood that meetings will go ahead but to a large extent they are damned if they do and damned if they don't with early call offs. I would also argue that if you travel to a meeting as a supporter when the forecast is poor you can't moan too much if you get there and its off. As for Bomber he has a week old child at home so he deserves to be cut a bit of slack for being frustrated. It's a shame people feel the need to put the boot in so quickly on sportsmen or any public figures nowadays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 The Edinburgh promotion have the same weather reports as you and l, so they were hopeful at the very least. ln seasons past they have been quick to call meetings off so wby not last night? As for bomber he has a right to feel exasperated, As do all other riders and fans. Its not speedway weather at the moment and why they try and run meetings in march is beyond me all you have to do is look at the fixtures that were cancelled last night. So everybody just cheer up the action will start soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanAndersen Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Part and parcel of riding for a team that you live hundreds of miles from. Meetings will be called off late, calling the meeting off yesterday at lunchtime would have been madness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not according to a Monarch supporting friend who is local to the track. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain why it would be madness from what we are led to believe the track was sodden after heavy rainfall at 10 am and with the forecast for further rain during the day, rather than it being madness it would have been sensible to call the inevitable But they decide to go on a wing and a prayer and cause numerous people time , effort and money when it could have been so much easier for all concerned. Or maybe just maybe they were hoping to get some through the turnstiles before calling it, not like that has ever happened before by the chuckle brothers. oh wait it has sorry.
