Are we seriously believing of the allegation re the track on the basis of photos that can't be seen or evidenced, allegedly been sent by a person at Leicester to "Steve Who" Is the photo from Hans(Christian) Andersen.

Oh no, they need at least 2 dry days, in October? Lucky to have one dry day never mind 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky to have one dry day never mind 2. It is what it is, perhaps Leicester could have done something differently or perhaps Leicester's track doesn't dry out as quickly because of the clay content (as mentioned on here before). Nobody really knows apart from those preparing the track - which certainly isn't me, and I doubt it's you. Every track is different. Fact is, if it wasn't for the rain, this wouldn't be a problem would it? Do you think Leicester are doing this on purpose? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just watched the latest forecast and it’s a dry afternoon with a fresh breeze at Leicester so a good drying wind with temperature up to 20 degrees C . The issue is rain in the early hours, clearing by 10 am to leave a dry, breezy but warm day tomorrow, so there’s an opportunity. What we don’t know is how the track has responded today and whether they have managed to dry it out. Or simply bladed the slosh off to the inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Good news! The sun has got his hat on again, warm sunshine and a stiff breeze and it's drying up very nicely thank you very much... this may yet go ahead tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 I don’t believe that Leicester are playing around here, they are the victims of certain other club dragging their heals all season which has led to this final having to take place at a time which should be reserved for end of season bashes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with what you are saying ,the Sport is all about self interest from all the various Promotions.We need a Body to run the sport in a more Professional manner with clear rules regarding strict time lines on fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Like I have said before. This isn’t a hard fix! Scape off the wet surface and put down fresh dry material. This should have been planned at the weekend knowing what was coming up this weekend and Monday at Leicester. Clearly the material they are using at the moment is too heavy and can’t take a decent amount of rain like other tracks can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if there was some blunder/s committed since the last meeting on the 15th? Can imagine SD arriving in Leicester on Monday or Tuesday this week and finding things in a right old state. Enough perhaps to stress him out to the extent of having to go into hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of putting down fresh dry material when it's raining every day at some point? Where you going to get 40 tons of such material from? The only certain thing about such a barmy scheme would be riders vanishing under or over the fence with career threatening injuries. You can't defy climate and weather. What next from the Poole trolls Should have gone to B+Q and bought wood and ply and roofing and erected a roof Should have gone to Leicester City and dug up the undersoil heating Should nip to EMA and nicked a jet engine to blow hot air on the track.

If they are unable to sort it out do the other leg at BV then. Going by the photo Leicester released on Tues that is just as dangerous. Although others have said they have already started taking the top surface off, so they are not agreeing with you if that is true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first sentence sums the situation up perfectly. Since last Thursday I don't think we've gone through a 24 hour period without any rain. The heavy rain we had for more or less 48 hours that started last Thursday & didn't really stop until after dark on Friday was I suspect the main cause of the problem, although Saturday was dry, at this time of year no way was that going to dry out. Then it started again Saturday evening & Sunday I woke up to absolutely torrential rain. And this week the pattern has been the same, we've had a couple of dry days, but not together, then it has rained most nights or early mornings & it's been steady rain over a number of hours each time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
