IronScorpion Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 It was a dodgy weather forecast last week & you used track covers. Where are they this week? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand When the weather is fine, why stick to a regimental fixture list drawn up in February. Promoters should get their heads together to see if they can bring forward meetings. Even using guests Track specialists, can improve a team if rider availability a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what bandits fans would have said if half there team had got injured tonight just so Glasgow could get a meeting on. Expand Is the track in that bad shape? I’d argue you get fewer riders injured on rain soaked tracks as they tend to take fewer risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Track covers ‘not working’ clearly means they didn’t get the result they wanted so will not use them, very poor attitude, they work absolutely fine, if anything it was your riders who didn’t seem to be working 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It is because they changed the shape of the track to make entertainment a priority, similar to off track, but they have not been getting the big wins they had before. This has led to a few posters saying "we need to get back to winning" but winning & entertainment does not compute with some up north. Win or lose at the EWR, we enjoy our racing & THAT is the priority, THE FANS. Last week it was the attitude of their riders, almost beaten before they start, similar to some of the riders that were at the CLRC & at a previous meeting for a certain, nameless, rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather plays a big part and track prep is NOT the same every week for every team. The riders, if able & want to, need to adapt.
