"Agreed" - sound from that more like they were "instructed". In which case Leicester may have a valid claim to financial compensation for the costs and income loss?

Looks like the Poole track though a little slicker. Not surprising considering the weather due tomorrow. Feeling confident this will go ahead. Come on Pirates, no mistakes. Back to back titles.

HGould Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 That's definitely not "down to the base". There's a fair amount of tyre packed material on there, probably more than you'd see at the dust bowl with the ruts at Poole in 5 seasons. Nice bit of material for those who aren't gating tarts to use if the weather plays ball. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Even though there are now no coaches coming up,( there were three full coaches) will be lots of Pirate fans taking a day off and making the long trip north to Leicester. We are congregating on the first bend to cheer the boys on to back to back titles. The NID boys will also be there. (Never In Doubt) If both teams ride to their potential, the title is hopefully coming south again. If Lions pull back the deficit and go on to win it, well done to them and I will be one of the first to congratulate. Lets hope there’s plenty of hard racing, some controversy, ad a result that will have enraged some and pleased others. As long as Poole are on the right side come heat 15, that’s all that matters. If not, then we woz robbed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of dirt on the track, perhaps too much at times. Track has been great thanks to Terry the track man.

LisaColette Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Sounds like you are talking from experience which is definitely TMI. At least our track is bigger than a roundabout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 9 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: It doesn’t matter how much it rains in the next two days if the track has now been bladed off to base. Thursday and Friday are dry days. They can put a dressing down on Friday morning and be good to go. No reason now why this won’t go ahead. If these pics are recent then the track is not bladed to the base at all. There is material on there.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how the riders get on as no doubt they'll start the meeting. I'm no track expert but I've been around long enough to know that you can't lay a track on the day of the meeting and expect to run a double header on it. Cardiff is laid days in advance and look at what a mess that is. Edited November 1, 2022 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
