Friday and Monday at end of September are traditionally Scottish holiday weekends. Which usually means the pubs and clubs do a roaring trade Ah okay!

But no the weirdo wanted to take photos of a wet track, today’s youth not in my day. Interesting so were Glasgow riders weirdos for taking photos of Newcastle track when that was called off then?

We at BSN work around the clubs and have zero influence on start times. Regards, Ben Duffill. Makes Glasgow's start time even more baffling!

Joseq7 Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Let's not call a spade a gardening implement. Home team A wants to run 15 heats to theoretically build up as much of a lead as possible. Away team B wants as few heats ran to theoretically limit their deficit. You can put any and all teams in the league for A and B. Each and every one of them. Fact. It's not cheating it's professionalism. It's naive to call it anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly hindsight, the forecast a week ago said dry until Sunday evening and didn't change all week. Why the start time wasn't moved forward to the afternoon is baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it was 6pm was due to the fact that Basso 's flight wasn't due in until after 3 pm and if it was delayed , he would have missed the start of the meeting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 I saw Poole use sawdust before a meeting a while ago to get it on and worked very well too after torrential rain, should all tracks have a stash of sawdust to use if necessary? I’ll admit it was the first time in about 20 years I’ve seen it used, but it done the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
