brianbuck Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Seems a sad way to end a brave Newcastle effort against very strong opponents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Correct me if I'm wrong didn't it used to be the losing team that could request an abandonment? Unless the referee has decided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Obviously I am not there so can`t comment on specific track conditions for this meeting but its fair to say this meeting wasn`t abandoned due to track conditions because of rain making the track wet and un-rideable. But I will make this point, in cricket there is a rule where the governing body, ECB, can investigate a sub-standard pitch, maybe the BSPA should do the same especially in these circumstances where it would appear a club can prepare a sub-standard track.

Lost one rider and 2 others in fairly dangerous sounding accidents why would you want the last 5 heats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alang Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Presumably if home team riders and referee were happy with track they could have finished the remaining heats with 2 home riders only in each heat.That didn't happen so either ref or home riders or both must also have been a bit unhappy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Poole had the problem with a big hole vs Brum last season they delayed for over an hour to sort it and Rory had to test it after so the other riders knew it was safe. I can't find anywhere what us wrong with the track. Is it holes, bumps, the material they use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I see result stands it kinda tells you conditions were not the best , just glad we got out without anymore injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Newcastle riders were not happy with the track either and had been complaining, wasn't just Glasgow, there was a trench, not just a rut between bends 1 and 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Newcastle have a curfew or was seamed beyond repair. Maybe grants preparing it how he liked it as a rider as that's only way he'd beat anyone. I'm interested to see what those were there thought. Notice very quiet from Newcastle fans, that surprises me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I would think the weather has played its part these last few days as Leicester had issues, also, last night. Strange that most riders had a 1st or 2nd & the "superstar" C Cook only 1 point from 2 rides tells a different story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
