How can the promotors 2nd guess the weather. The track was clearly unfit for racing. Swindon promotion knew full well what was going to happen. 7.24 No parade due to conditions. 7.29 Mist coming in. Heat 1 Vaculik gets injured and then Meeting abandoned due to an unfit race track. Should never have started and all of this could have been avoided.

Popular Post Jonny the spud Posted April 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Both teams agreed to give it a try. If the riders wanted to give it a go who’s in the better position to judge, the guys putting their neck on the line of some bloke on the internet who’s probably never swung his leg over a bike? 12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll see you at Swindon on 7th May, I would have suggested meeting next Wednesday at Poole but unfortunately I’m working away in Germany.

Agreed, hopefully the Vac isn’t as bad as reported. We can all say what should or could have happened but end of the the day none of us race Speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep going with your childish comments fact is I'm right and you don't like the truth. FACT - If the track was fit for racing then there would have been a parade before the meeting started. FACT - No Parade due to conditions. So in other words the track isn't fit to hold a parade but the track is fit for racing. Swindon promotion were having doubts about the track and they didn't do anything about it. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Find all this talk of suing a track ridiculous. Mind once the ref arrives he /she call the meeting off, they didn't so not Swindons fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4back Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 The last time I was in Poland watching speedway two riders from each team get to do some pre meeting practice laps. Isn't it about time this was introduced here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no parade because it was drizzling and they wanted to crack on. As normal you are commenting on speedway when you weren't there.

Wanted to crack on knowing full well the track wasn't fit for racing and it took Martin Vaculik to lay on a stretcher for common sense to prevail. I don't need to be there. You even said yourself the meeting should have been called off earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont know this but when you attend speedway meetings and there is a threat of rain they tend to crack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it about time this was introduced here. To right, why don’t we have this here. I can’t see any reason why this practice should not take place before every meeting. It gives both home and away team an idea of track conditions re set up. Correct set ups gives better racing. But f..k it - promoters don’t want fans to go home having seen good racing. They might return and British speedway hasn’t got anymore room to fit all the fans in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they crack on if there is a threat of rain anyway Hans Andersen has said exactly the same as me so all riders weren't in agreement and the meeting should have been postponed before a wheel was turned.
