No consideration for travelling fans then,Glasgow postponement was karma imo. FFS its Poole, they get accommodated above everyone else.

Cami said “all those that were available”, suggesting at least one was missing. Maybe I should get a microphone and interview Basso next time he’s running down Hawthorn Street.

Fromafar Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 7 hours ago, Nickinho said: I knew as soon as i entered the stadium last night that half an hour of drizzle would make that track greasy as it was already wet as well as hard and flat and i could see some of the misgivings from some of the riders like Tom as they checked the conditions with their boot upon entry. The track was badly prepared which isn't a normal ocurrence at Glasgow but it was last night and i'm not exactly sure why this was the case but over the years i have seen riders launching themselves at tracks in much worse conditions so the riders have to take some share of the blame for the decision. The referee also helped to make the entire evening a shambles with some silly time-wasting and i felt a real lull from the outset despite the best attempts of the announcer to keep everyone upbeat. However, what concerned me the most was both the smallish crowd for an important semi-final (and yes i know it was livestreamed) and the lack of anger as they departed. Normally there is a lot of weeping and wailing like it's an Islamic funeral whenever a meeting normally gets called off but this time everyone just seemed to accept it with only a wee bit of grumbling. This is concerning because it tells me that everybody have really gotten used to delays, cancellations, postponements and the BSPA doing their utmost to cut large chunks out of the season and like myself they are thinking of finally calling it a day. It's been fun for a long, long time but with the costs also starting to outweigh the benefits i will be probably be cutting down my visits to just the odd meeting next year. Thought the crowd was decent considering weather forecast and BSN.I was mug enough to want to see some live action ,unfortunately.Like I said on previous Post live streaming will end up killing the Sport. Track was dry and pretty slick to start with IMo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with making sure both legs have equal amount of races is: 1) if a match in cancelled after 14 heats due to rain, do you re-run the whole meeting again? 2) if Glasgow got to heat 10 & was then cancelled, can't expect Poole to advertise a 10 heat 2nd leg & expect the same amount of fans to turn up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve declined every date been given to them for the jubilee final now this. they were happy to make fans stand around and wait for what 2 hours at the Scunthorpe match earlier in the season so why so quick to call off tonights match. That's a very good question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Scunthorpe match was in summer when there were drying conditions. There is no chance of it drying on a September's evening in Glasgow. Simple as that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
