TooMuchGrip Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Can we now expect that the Leicester home meeting on the 5th of September will be a double header as last night proved it can be successful? Just Somerset away to squeeze in then! Edited August 23, 2018 by TooMuchGrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expected the Wolves boys preferred the slicker conditions in the 2nd so were more effective. But still our guys were giving it 100% to come away with another heady win, just what we wanted MPT has hurt his ankle (wrong, it's his knee) although together with the interviews I couldn't hear a thing on the 1st bend, so annoying, hope something can be done, our speakers take away from the night grrrr The speakers have been useless for years Trees. Too far apart, and not enough of them especially around the 1st/2nd bend area where they have to compete with bikes warming up in the pits. They also point at a strange angle away from some spectators, and I must admit I have been tempted to get a leg up the fence when no one is watching and "reposition" them!

The speakers in the Royal Box are just the same. With Kevin on the Mic. with his strong voice, you can just about hear him , but Edwin Overland is so faint its impossible to hear. Even worse is Dale, he speaks so softly its a waste of time putting him on the microphone . I have spoken with Nathan about it , who said he would look into it, but as of yet he has done nothing. Probably its OK when the stadium is empty but come Race Night, they're next to useless. If it wasn't for the enlarged Scoreboard we would never get the information to be able to fill in the program.. They really are that poor.... NB I did notice when I walked round corners 3 and 4 the speaker were much louder and clearer there. Strange that as it was the place where the least people gathered..

Yes it is strange, where the least people stand, is the best reception. Where I usually stand between the first & second bend, the score board is behind me and I don't get a very clear view of it at an acute angle, also the times etc are only on the screen for a moment, and I always miss them! The whole PA system needs an overhaul in my opinion, but that costs money and we know the path that leads us..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
