Hmm, this season a lot of away teams seem to be demanding how a track should be! Including Poole btw. Never used to be like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 What a waste of time for everyone concerned. Why oh why do they have to keep the fans hanging around for an hour before announcing the inevitable. For whatever reason the riders cannot/ will not ride a damp track, so once they have a shower of rain just call it off. Buster Chapman tried a few weeks back, Now Dickson has had a go. It’s a waste of time guys. Shower of rain = call it off. Good luck on Wednesday, the weather ain’t getting any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If playoffs don't get completed in time, will just have to revert back to who finished top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people are annoyed, but I can't think that riders wouldn't want to ride, especially after having travelled that far, without good reason. It seems that the slightest bit of rain puts a meeting at risk these days... there must be a reason for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Stewart looked pretty pleased with himself in the pits after the call off. Whilst Peter Facenna looked not so pleased read into that what you will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If had been left alone would have been raceable is the view from our end of the pits 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,that was farcical,Cook digging at the entrance to 3rd 4th bend during track walk.Howarth had no intention of riding from the off.Speedway is a dead duck if meetings can’t be run on that track on dry night with no chance of any more rain. Before the track grade.Why do they never just run a few bikes round to turn the dirt over instead of removing it all and making it farce.The Ref’s are scared to make a decision and listen to much to everybody.That should have either been called off before a wheel was turned or they should have just got on with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 It's not just at Glasgow where there has been "track" issues though, maybe those "track" issues are actually "tyre" issues, that's all I'm suggesting. It seems this season especially wet meetings have been abandoned or postponed where the common consensus has said that the track "looked" OK.
