I guess my point being there isn't a great deal of hope of track drying out or being significantly different to tonight. Unless scrape the whole lot off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Looking at the forecast I’m not hopeful of Glasgow getting either of the remaining home fixtures in before the deadline. But hopefully they’ll accept tonight’s tickets on Wednesday if it does run rather than make me pay for another one and wait a month for the refund from tonight.

MD Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Trying to make sense of it all with bit part info. Leicester complain at 5pm bends 1 & 2 are too soft so spend 2 hours scraping every speckle of dirt off, tonnes of it, to the point of glass. Why? Was it really that soft or did Leicester not want to ride a grippy track? Two hours wasted watching tractor racing. Nothing short of embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective it was the home riders who didn't want to ride when they finally took the track. Cookie was all but lapped by Dan Thompson.

They rocked up to the gates looking like they were ready, but to me it looked like Morris didn't bother round the first bend, Craig saw he was in third and decided not to bother, and Broc had a little go before realising there was no one behind him. Thompson gave up in sympathy. They dropped like flies one after the other, from fourth to first. It looked like they took us for mugs. Was it perfect? No. But it didn't look dangerous. I've seen plenty meetings in far worse than that, including at Ashfield. Track staff worked hard and to me it looked like they'd given them a half decent track. The problem looked like a lack of heart to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagy1 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 An unrequested and uneducated opinion. Arrived early, track looked fine albeit a bit wet(roads on the way home were very wet). Someone, or some people, made an unnecessary fuss over conditions no one listened to the track curator who said the track will be fine. Leicester representative not happy with the referee because of Friday night, willing to stir the messy stuff to rearrange. All being equal, as a team, the wagons should of been circled and the pressure put on the away team. On a side note, when the chips are down, the young ones always want to give it a go. Well done Mr Thomson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
