YerRopes Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 The events of last night were just unfortunate, that's all... Best Wishes to MV and MPT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 If the track looked rideable and they never started the meeting there would of been uproar. It's an unfortunate situation but frankly unavoidable. Whilst ever attempt to make the sport safer is made, it's an inherently dangerous sport. When there are riders like Hans and Batch in the pits if there was any sniff of unhappy riders you would think they would have jumped all over it. Fact is not one person now thinks the meeting should of started but that's hindsight, clearly no one spoke up at the time. So any claims it was obvious are just stupidity and disrespectful to all the people that were there and ready to perform. Riders quite often post pictures of dodgy tracks before meetings on social media (maybe to show fans more likely to influence a postponement.) but I don't recall seeing any negativity anywhere before tapes up.

I have been posting what the riders have been saying themselves. Just silly people like yourself want to insult me in return because professional Speedway riders have agreed with me. No one is interested in anything you have to say ! So, why don't you quietly disappear and crawl back up your hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 A riders father has told you what is what. He was there, in the pits with the riders. I think his word is more conclusive than a twitter remark after the event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his word is more conclusive than a twitter remark after the event. Swindon statement said all riders. Hans said should never have started. Therefore that's not all riders. Swindon also said riders were given the chance to do a practice lap. Michael Palm Toft didn't know anything about it. Just Swindon chatting BS again like they did with the BWD play off situation last year. Anyway I'm going to leave it there because there is no point in going around in circles if you want to think Adam Ellis and he's Dad speak for everyone in the Speedway world then so be it. Adam speaks for himself and Hans speaks for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quote from Danny King on the BSPA site says it all i think.Hindsight sure is a wonderful thing,it seemed riders were happy to ride beforehand. Leicester captain Danny King said: “We thought the biggest problem beforehand would be the visibility. The track didn’t seem too wet when we walked it, and I don’t think anyone complained about it.

What we should be doing is wishing the injured riders a speedy recovery and hope this awful weather that is causing havoc to the sport we love improves so that riders, promoters and referees don't get put in the no win situation they were in last night." Isn't it about time you stopped this silly little wind-up game your trying to play on this forum with others who are unfortunately taking the bait but I can understand why they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound keen to race at all does he? Even before the injury to Vaculik. Hans Andersen - Black and white it shouldn't have started. Palm Toft - Never heard anything about riders given an opportunity to do a lap before the meeting. Practically called Swindon's statement BS. I have evidence you have nothing but insults and that's what people like you do when you are fighting a losing battle. I can go on and on but I cant be asked. Talking to you and the other lot down there is like trying to hold a conversation with Manuel from Fawlty Towers. The facts are 14 riders were consulted before the meeting and not one complained. Here endeth the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans is talking after the event. Hans is an opinionated rider. If he had an issue with the track he would have said so before racing. Anyone who knows how Hans operates will know he would have voiced his concerns. Therefore he didn't have an issue on the day. MPT would have done a track walk and if he had an issue he too would have let someone know. Riders are talking AFTER the event. No one complained on the night. It's pretty easy to deduce all of that.

Your wrong about MPT for sure. Michael If we have a practice lap or 2 to test the tracks out before a meeting a lot of incidents could be avoided. Swindon “Our clerk of the course told riders we weren’t doing a normal parade but they were free to go out and try a lap on the track – nobody took him up on this offer. Michael Never heard that. So Swindon are lying because nobody told MPT he could go out and try a lap on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they weren't concerned. Hans is a known fibber anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of information is moaning after the event. Very little to add to those facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
