Riders travel long distances, refs travel long distances, some fans travel long distances. What’s the issue calling a meeting off 24 hours in advance if it is clearly obvious it has no chance of taking place ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINYS Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Knew Lynn had a good chance of getting a win when i saw who panthers had as a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange decision that Was he fit enough for 3 rides on the trot especially as he didnt ride in 15 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Pretty much a gating match tonight,although there was some good races involving Basso,Harris and Lawson. The track rode very well although a rut did appear on bend 2.Several times were quite close to the track record. Nice to actually record an away win and the 4pts we got should make sure we don't finish bottom this season.Make the next step up next season and we may manage 4th and the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepanthernotred Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Harris and Basso are the only two that deserve a place in the team next year, though I think we shall struggle too keep them. Put money on the fact that ulrich will be back because the fans love him…. Even tho he’s sh”t. Cant make out why Kenneth Bjerre hasn’t been mentioned, he’s been banging scores in in Poland. Need too try get him back imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about heavy rain 48 hours before the meeting? Edited August 26, 2022 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 When I arrived at the track around 5pm, the track staff were just getting access to it as it had been too wet to do anything with, the surface was bladed off and they all restarted laying a fresh surface with additional new material, once relaid it looked quite good but very grippy, once the riders and management s looked at it, it was all bladed off again, difficult to imagine who requested that. But that left it slick with pretty much nothing left and a trappers paradise, times were good but the racing was complete shyte and didn’t suit anyone on the home side other than Basso who was riding with a shoulder injury. It certainly didn’t suit Bomber and with Andersen and Nicholls on their usual steeds it was very predictable which way this match would go. For the record I still don’t think Lynn will make the Play offs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about heavy rain 48 hours before the meeting? It seems to me that trying to place any firm parameters on rain-offs is futile. Local knowledge is the vital thing - stadium access, track conditions, machinery available (and if it can actually get on the track) all point to what might be possible. Add in weather forecasts and the financial considerations I outlined above. In the end the buck stops with the Promoter, who has to make a decision* - right or wrong. I’ve postponed meetings that could in the end have been raced, and not postponed ones that led ultimately to either a very late call off or an abandonment. The one thing I hope we all agree on is that in the current climate no Promoter can afford to incur all the fixed costs of a meeting without a high level of assurance the meeting can be staged. * Prior to the arrival of the referee who then assumes the role of decision maker.
