If the track was graded off early last week after the initial call off the meeting would have gone ahead! Taking it down to the base taking off all the slop, leave it to breath, if it rained again it would have simply run off (as long as their drains are decent to take the water away) the rain wouldn’t of remained in the track as no material for it to stick too. A day before the meeting start laying the new surface, let’s face it buster has done it in 2 hours before so proves can be done with good planning and correct machinery - again no one else’s fault but Leicester for not organising this sooner. They will be hit on the gate now as less will travel with no coach on offer. I would imagine now the BSPA will be monitoring track works but they should have been doing this a week ago. The BSPL shouldn't have to monitor track work because they have track curators that had to pass stringent checks in order to prepare tracks. Or did that never happen.... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very heavy rain due to hit the area in the next couple of hours. That rain is now here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But remember, Leicesters track curator is currently on sick leave having been taken ill with severe chest pains which saw him hospitalised before the first leg at Poole.

IainB Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 You would have hoped that there would have been some kind of statement from somebody in authority about: The PL League Cup Final 2nd leg The CL PO Final 2nd leg The NDL PO Final 2nd leg The Premiership Pairs 6th leg The Jubilee Trophy Final 1st leg The Jubilee Trophy Final 2nd leg matches still being unplayed at the official end of the season and when they are going to be scheduled to be run But as usual... Silence! If Rob Godrey doesn't resign after this omnishambles he never will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it has been stated before; you cannot do the work suggested when it is pouring with rain. BSFC and Stewart (on BSN) explained trhe situation: they were taking water off the circuit as quick as they could but there had been rain for several days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view point is there has been ample time to race these meetings prior to the close of season deadline so the home teams should forfit the result 0 - 75. I think a lot of these fixtures have been delayed because one or the other club wants to host the final leg. I don't care who is to blame but it needs sorting!
