At Brandon the track barely recovered if they had a Speedway meeting Monday after Stox on a Saturday. As I said I've seen pictures of the track from late afternoon Saturday and it wasn't in great shape, letting anything ride on the track wouldve made it worse. I'm not giving them excuses as I think they should be able to get it ready considering weather we had after the downfall but running an event in those conditions doesn't help and wouldve required extra work.

Gemini Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 But can we? Someone has said there is an Amateur Meeting on Sunday that has been arranged for ages. Hopefully he is mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably this takes priority although there has been two differing meetings on one day before. Their website does state that their meeting is 12-4 So we shall see what they have planned.

Gemini Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 This does sound a dodgy idea if they dont finish till 4pm as Bees match is supposed to start at 3pm. Should make it very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know league speedway takes priority but still feel sorry for all riders and organisers who have been pushed aside due to terrible fixture planning.

TurnTwo Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Brave by Eastbourne to run midweek, but it’s not fair on them to have to run double header finals and a week or sos notice in advance I’m sure is adequate enough for them to get time off work?

Eastbourne have been determined to not run a double header and fri/sat was initially mooted but rejected by the home riders. Not sure how forgiving your boss is but i suspect the patience of some employers is probably wearing thin at this stage of the season? No disrespect to Ryan Mac or any others who cant get the time off but hope Cov can secure some powerful guests if required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Has it been confirmed exactly whether they're trying to do the Coventry match or the KO Cup match Weds? For me hope its the Coventry one as I can go Saturday, not Weds, and would prefer to see a final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) It's the play off meeting that they are looking at to be the Wednesday but with some riders having work commitments plus living up North, Coventry are unlikely to be full strength if it happens on that date.
