The pay offs need reducing, drastically. Top of the league goes through to the final, 2nd & 3rd into a semi, winners to the final. It's been ridiculous this season how long Leicester have had to wait for Poole to get their arses into gear

Thats spot on. Same in the Prem 1st through, 2nd and 3rd battle for a final place

I have been sent a picture taken today of the Leicester track. You would struggle to believe just how bad it is. An utter quagmire. 

The only solution if they have any chance is to blade everything off and sprinkle down a bit of dirt on the base. How it has got like this is beyond comprehension.

Presumably you're going to share this picture with us?

I can’t share the photo as I was told when receiving it not to post it. Sorry I would if I could. 

the whole of the back straight is in the photo taken from the pits gate looking towards the third bend, with a back of a tractor in the forground. The grader is plastered in very wet slosh, and it is the same the whole way down the back straight. You would need a pair of wellies to shuffle through it.

It's not looking good for tomorrow. It's been raining four miles from the track this morning. According to the Met Office It's going to be sunny this afternoon but there's an 80% chance of heavy rain for at least 4 hours after about 8 am tomorrow. 

I'm a mile from the track... currently raining

Latest is the track staff are blading all the slop off the track today to take it right back. But rain is now due tomorrow morning. An early call off would be appreciated for the hundreds of travelling fans making the long journey up.

Do you seriously think it's something other than water that's causing this issue?

Water the initial cause but perhaps if I the track had just been left alone rather than churning it up the damage might not have been so bad? 

So on BSN last night they were advertising the Premier Pairs meeting which is due to take place here on Monday night. Shouldn’t the Championship Final take precedence? If tomorrow is cancelled, then Monday should be the rerun date with the PP being put back a few days.

Perhaps, but water WAS the initial cause. No water, no problem.

Every picture tells a story and you've just painted a picture, you would have been quicker posting the photo.

Was asked not to post. Respecting the senders request. Posted a description instead.

Now makes no difference. Forecast is poor.

Poole fans I would make other plans for tomorrow. 
There is little to no chance of this meeting taking place .
It is raining 1/2 a mile from the track & due to rain again tomorrow.

I hear rumours the track is in a very bad way due to the amount of rain & there is nobody to correct the issues with the track because Stewart is in Glasgow on the sick.

Don't Sheffield have a track man who could jump in his/her Trackter and head down the M1 ?
