To cover only 1 wicket . V. Expensive kit Problem isn't so much the covers, but also who is going to put them down and remove them at a moments notice. Speedway track staff are generally volunteers, are they supposed to be available 24/7 to be called upon? Most of them have other jobs. And covering a complete track by hand with say 6 people? No thanks, it would be hours of back breaking work. How many volunteers you gonna get for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I’ve seen Vojens do it several times, they have team of about 20 guys and have to use forklifts to move the covers around as very heavy especially when wet. Also the track has to be completely dry when the covers are put down, you can’t put them on an already damp track which it generally will be at this time of year as it makes it worst.

We were on a 5-1 until holder fenced dan hence karma justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season its compulsory to have track covers in Poland for extraliga so we can all see how they cope with them and learn how it's done?

acef Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Don’t think enough has been said about that heat 13 incident. Holder was well out of order and from my angle it was deliberately done. He knew it straight away and went over to apologise to Dan. Naughty move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like Bewley saw red light first, Holder didn’t and Dan wasn’t expecting him to dive up inside. They were laughing and joking in pits after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Mention must be said of Tom Brennan’s ride in heat 12, I feel this gave the momentum for Belle Vue. He was all over Kyle Howarth, anyone who previously went wide into deep dirt got into trouble but he went wide round the outside of Howarth on final bend.

Depends how much it bothered Richie I suppose! He may not really care about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to Thursday and no chicken's being counted here. Ten points was exactly the same margin that Peterborough managed to beat us by at Owlerton a few weeks back.... but four days later we beat them by 12 on their own turf. It ain't over till the fat lady sings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with Jack (now this is just my opinion, I could be waaaaayyyyyyy off here!) is that Chris has done a lot for him from what others have said, whereas Chris prob had to do it for himself for when he came over. So I feel that Jack has been handed a lot of things on a plate. Plus Chris has always said publicly that Jack will be better than him (or words similar in interviews at Poole - would have been around 2014/2015 though). So maybe gone to his head a little bit. Just what I think though, I could be so far off with my thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
