erniew Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 It's not a joke, I noticed it at press & practice, the lights are fixed to the uprights so you can't rotate them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was informed a few weeks ago that this was the case and I didn't believe it at first either, until it was confirmed at P&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HectorRacing Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Why only the dog track? And not speedway? The owners not like the stadium being used for more then one thing? worrying as season goes on and it gets darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The only way round it, as far as I can see, is start earlier than 4pm, to avoid the dark. As to "why?" you better ask ARC to answer that one.

Fromafar Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 It’s going to be a bit hard going for Diamonds unless Wilson-Dean and Complin improve dramatically .Early days but signs not good IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Complin seems like he's going to be ok once he irons out a few issues and gets back to race fitness. BWD, wasn't convinced to start with and I'm even less so now... Please, please, please say this was a one off, nervy week for him and he'll settle down even to become just a decentish second string...

Jaizer Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Out of interest how did BWD get that average? My memories of him in previous championship spell was strong 2nd string/ 3rd heat leader level. Is it a converted average from the prem?

Expand BWD getting a lower ave won't help Newcastle though! They already built a team well below the points limit, so if they wanted to & the riders are available, could strengthen up the team anytime!
