Yearbyred Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 If the referee thought the track was safe then they would have been told just to get on with it without the extensive track work surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 If anything the tracks even worse now. Clouds of dust everywhere. Will this sport stop at nothing to kill itself?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 I gave up...it was a warm and muggy evening, and then they stop the meeting to test out everyone's patience. I went home before my frustration boiled over into something nasty. Not sure if or when I'll be wanting to go back again either. No wonder everyone's falling out of love with the sport...Poole put on a pantomime last week then Redcar put on a farce this week. Next week, they'll stage a comedy, and one day there'll be a real drama. The problem is that they want us to paying to see speedway the sport not these theatrical performances. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Left after heat 4 after watching various tractors going around, with the A34 roadworks & M6 junction 10 an absolute disaster I can't afford to be leaving Perry Barr close to 22:00. Whoever was wearing a Redcar top walking the track waving at the crowd was enough for me. I'd like to know which Redcar rider complained, Wright was out on track ready for heat 5, Kerr had won heat 3 by a mile and MPT gave Riss a decent race in heat 4. If the Perry Barr track is bad, you can usually tell by how cautious Thomas is entering the turns, not the case tonight he was keeping pace with Riss & MPT in heat 4.
