GWC Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Friend of mine on holiday at center parcs and checked Poole web site at 6 and all good. Gets to track and it’s off, now if Midditch himself said it looked iffy who on earth makes the decision to run when he knows darn well that the riders won’t accept it! Club should receive significant fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 For a club so well run as Poole this just seems so wrong, not rained off, not track water logged, but track un-fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 MFF you are an absolute imbecile. You are arguing with people who live in Poole about the weather they have had. Shov is the biggest pro Poole poster on here and even he knows they have f*cked up. Wind your neck in. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did rain overnight but was over by the time it was daylight. Just sounds like a total ballsup with the track and an extremely expensive one judging by the amount of people at the stadium. Honest opinion there SS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Apparently the track man said there were two holes on the track but Matt misheard as “two Poles” and said “Crikey, call it off”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I thought that Glyn was supposed to be a great track man. As said above by flagrag it would be interesting to hear from him - because something is smelling strongly of fish here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have rained at 2.00am or something and those Poole fans didn't realise because they were snoozing. Which would make Middlo's comments spot on.

You are only making a deal out of this cos you are obsessed with Steve, get over your crush and move on FFS! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm not I'm just saying Shovelit said it has been BONE DRY ALL DAY. Middlo said heavy rain this morning. Other Poole fans said they were doing this at 8am or that at 9am. The day starts at midnight so Middlo could be right.....It might have rained at 2.00 am or 3.00 am and those Poole fans wouldn't know because they could have been sleeping.

FACT as you like to say (although in this case it actually is). Mate. Im neither going to argue with the dumb dumbs on here nor reply to them. I got to the stadium at approx 11.30. The track was sodden. We had a lot of rain last night, that was forcast, thats what we got. But even i was suprised at the state of the track. Glyn showed me, the rain had gone right through and the track was a quagmire deep down Glyn worked his Nuts off all day, on his own, no help whats so ever, including errecting the airfence which as anybody on here with half a brain cell on will know, when they are flat and you put them up tons of water comes off them, There is nothing, you can do about it That is and was pretty restricted to the outer part of the track. And before anybody mentions it, the area Glyn showed me was well away from airfence reach. In the afternoon, it was clear that because we had no drying wind and it was muggy the track was not going to dry, no matter what he did, he could have put the spikes in all the way round to help the track breathe he may well have done that, but even that may, not have helped. So he tried to pre-emped the riders and bladed it off to hopefully give it a chance to dry a bit more in the last 3-4 hrs before the meeting started. Sadly, the REFEREE Grahame Reave one of our most experienced referees, deemed the track UNFIT to race, i dont know if the riders were involved. It took everybody by suprise. I asked 2 former riders who are part of our track staff what they thought, they said they wouldnt ride it.. Clearly, the damage was done overnight. First and formost, the riders do not earn the fans do not get to see Speedway and Matt would have lost a fortune tonight given it was a school holiday and we would have got a decent crowd judging by the ques outside This has been a total disaster and everybody is pretty cheesed off.. The amount of rain we have had this winter and spring puts rainy Manchester in the shade. This is what i know and all i know.. I will not add to this, nor reply to any other poster.
