Don’t they have a blade at Leicester? Blade all the shale off and put fresh shale down. 
 

The Leicester promotions hope that taking the meeting into November, with The idea that the Cooks disappear down under, won’t work.

So blade ALL of the dirt off of a 300 metre track and relay it... in the rain? Get real. 

Also if the Cooks do disappear off to Aussie, Poole should only be allowed NL riders to replace them.

What rain? The next two days are dry with sunny periods. Just watched the latest forecast.

Perhaps, if Leicester can’t sort their track out, the meeting needs to be run at Wolverhampton or Peterborough.

Should be a NL rider in place of Howarth. Rules are clear. If it was Poole we would have 6 pages of being called cheats. 

The rules are clear. Kyle is serving a seven day suspension from last Monday which expires on Sunday.  I'd love a peek at that medical certificate though!

Simon Lambert missed a meeting for Peterborough at Workington i believe as he was getting married, a guest facility was granted for his absence due to the fact his wedding was obviously arranged well in advance and the meeting he was unavailable for was a rearranged meeting due to the original dste being  called off, as Howarth is getting married in Mexico  the facility should be available also to Leicester.

Exactly!  Where do find the equipment to pick up and store perhaps 15-20 tons of soaking wet shale , where do put it and where do you find the unpaid volunteer staff to do all this.

Even if you could somehow get the wet shale off where do you get hold off another 10 tons of dry shale at the back end of the season ? 

Totally unworkable suggestion to relay the track and bed it down .

Reminds me of 2019 vs Ipswich.. The Witches were 8 up and then lost by 10. And look how that turned out..... :wink:

Poole haven’t got those couple of Aussies going on the piss the night before in the team.

Can't he just get married on the centre green... like the couple did at Edinburgh a few years back (if my memory servers me)

Due to clear in next we mins to leave a dry and breezy day. Dry all day tomorrow. Looks like Leicester riders will be greeted by a differently prepared track on Saturday, similar to what the Poole riders had to face last night, which gives an advantage to the away side.

2 words... Darcy Ward

Ward got attacked and hit his head on the kerb. Not the same as Kurtz and Jack Holder getting rat arsed the night before the most important meeting of the season. Guess that’s why both were shown the door.

The damage has already been done, rain forecast for tomorrow and Saturday, track curator on sick leave... just going to have to leave it to November, common sense should prevail

If we were still in Prem they would both still be at Poole though?!
