marko Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Serious question, it’s a good team Plymouth are building but what work is taking place to ensure they will be able to take to track more often this season? For example Is the drainage being improved? So that the track has a better chance of recovering from the elements, and allow out and out racers like Howarth to thrive.

We're putting a roof over the stadium. Seriously what do you suggest when the natural water table is about 1ft below the track surface, hence the name of the area is marsh mills,their is a clue in the name. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 If that’s the case why wasn’t the track built higher? They must have know before the track was put in that susceptibility to unfavourable conditions was likely to be high and potentially very costly as a business model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Why was Lakeside built next to the M25 and Dartford Tunnel on busiest Motorway in Europe? The irony of someone from Lakeside querying water issues. Deary me. Rumour is that Plymouth new Mascot is King Canute.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 In a perfect world yes it should have been, but the difficulty in finding land and getting planning approval for speedway is pretty difficult,also during the regular season Plymouth had no more rain offs than anyone else, i think the problem is more to do with the fixtures not being planned very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realise that despite the name, the track at Arena Essex was much higher than any water table in the area? But even so over the years the drainage was improved upon so that the venue wasn’t so vulnerable to rain offs which can cost clubs a lot of money. on another point though, why are you always so defensive about Plymouth when your own team is Birmingham? A track which itself has come under scrutiny plenty of times over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more rain offs than anyone else. Just a disproportionate amount of forum chatter when they happened. Racers like Howarth, Richie and Ben must have been happy enough with it this year to have signed up for next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question? I went to Lakeside a few times. A bit of a rutted dusty roller coaster from what I remember. I was told though that's the way the Promoters liked it? So what's you obsession with Plymouth and their track? It's different and unique by UK standards but the view off the back straight Stand is as exciting as you'll get anywhere. Perry Barr was excellent in 2022 and delivered some good racing despite the very hot summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 My criticism of Plymouth is purely down to the track, not the size, not the shape, or the standard of racing, just its seemingly bad rep for having rain offs based on how much disruption it caused to the Championship last season which I grant wasn’t helped by the promoters arranging the season as they did. Lakeside used to get far more criticism for being a poor track, not because of rain offs but because of its size and home advantage and your quite far away from the action, that’s the way it was though, track didn’t care, it didn’t have any feelings.
