Of course the ref has to call it off as he is there.But they are known to be persuaded.

So do you accept the referee called the match off ?

At any point prior to the referee calling the match off, Alex could have sent any of his riders out to prove that it was rideable ?

Yet you appear to concede that the match was called of because 6/7 Sheffield riders REFUSED to race

Ref or riders doesn't matter in the end. I expect that there will still be a forum open when speedway dies in this country with fans arguing about laydowns v uprights.

 

As an aside (but a relevant one) I wonder how far spectators on average travel to home meetings. I would reckon it's an increasing distance. Last minute rain-offs (I had one at Leicester) really do put fans off, Refs and risers need to seriously consider this.

If you read my post,the ref called it before Buster had finished the track work.So no the riders couldn't go out on the track before it was called off.

Hmm, but I would have thought as a ref you would be more persuaded by the home team as they ride there every week. However the ref might already have an idea in their mind when the track is not fit to ride. Do you know who the ref was?

and if you read my post, which was a reply to Bald Bloke.

He alludes to previously , the match being called off because 6/7 Tigers riders refused to ride.

Which as you quiet clearly clarify wasn't the case, as the referee called the match off prior to Buster finishing the track work.

The SCB appointed referee thought in his opinion it wasn't fit.

The rights & wrongs of that single person's opinion can be debated thereafter .

I was in the stadium from 6.15. Yeah it rained .It cleared .Buster bladed the track and it looked fine. I spoke to Alex and he said 6 out of 7 Tigers riders didn't want to ride. Buster lost his rubbish and said the 2 clubs are for sale. I have a pic of the bladed track on my phone and it was fine

Don't allude to the fact that 6/7 Opposition riders had the match called off.

Grow up.

I would suggest Buster makes more money from the Stock Cars in one meeting that he does from the speedway in one month.  Speedway must be a pain in the arsenals to him with all the filthy dirty messing around with track preparation , and the fickle riders who will complain every week about the track being too bumpy too slick too grippy too wet  too dusty too grippy on gate 1. 

Just have the feeling that the 2021 BSPL conference will be one of the most important conferences ever  :-) :-) :-)

Tbh when everybody has calmed down a bit... the weather goes with the territory, it's an open air sport in a country with a some what rainy climate. 

It's always happened and it always will. At least there was actual real rain and not called off on a dodgy forecast. 

... but if they did have track covers...

Even before the demise of Coventry, KL was on the rota to stage the BriSCa Formula 1 World Final. That's their flagship meeting of the year, attracting loads of competitors and a huge crowd. He can't fail to make money on that one. Possibly as much as a whole season of speedway when it gets allocated.

I also have it on good authority from a local supplier that the stock car crowd will clear the stock of the Adrian Flux Arena's  burgers and chips every meeting ..... the speedway fans apparemntly have much smaller appetities. All money in the bank for Buster.

Does anyone know why they don’t put sawdust down on wet tracks anymore?
