Tosh1218 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Can anyone at the track tonight tell me what time did heat 1 ,come to tapes please ?? This rain was forecast all day and in real terms the promoters have got it wrong and Scunny will be happy as they were down to 4 team members and a genuine 2 pt reserve . I’m happy it’s that but think Glasgow missed guanteeing the bonus point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 The meeting started bang on time. The two minutes for heat 1 went up at 19:28. There was no grading after heat 4. There was a very quick grade after heat 7. Everything else is in the control of the referee. He didn't dither either. There were two stoppages for Scunthorpe riders who hit the deck. And the Glasgow riders were at tapes first in every heat. Heat 9, Scunthorpe the Scunthorpe riders both appeared on track with 6 seconds on the clock. But somehow the promoters are at fault. There was no issue with the running of the meeting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good meeting unfortunately cut short. Had Mountain not been injured we would have been toiling IMO. Can't understand Scunny riders gamesmanship in ht9 when the meeting needed pushed on to avoid the rain, they appeared with a few seconds to spare then were slow out again in ht10 but out ok in the remaining heats. Did they really want a rainoff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they really want a rainoff? Looked like it to me, as been said the only hold up was for the medics to attend to Mountain (hope nothing serious) but that apart the referee pushed things along swiftly until as you say the away team started to cut it fine on appearing on track.

Noelinho Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Also remember, there were quite a few heats with away riders running consecutive heats, so the referee had to make an allowance for that. Even then, he didn't give them long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 To speak of the racing, heat 9 was a good one. I thought About was unfortunate to be excluded as all four were pretty much together, but the racing between Allen and Bidding was very good. A few unhappy home fans that Allen caught the back of Claus's bike starting lap four, but I thought it was fine. Claus came across hard.to clamp the inside and he gives it out pretty hard. I think he's big enough to look after himself on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was dirty imo just hard racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast1rn Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Having seen Ablitt at Ashfield a handful of times now, he's improved greatly than when he was Pooles sacrificial 3 heat lamb. He had Lee well beat until a mistake in bend 2 lap 4 and unlike previous visits where he was about 3/4 of a lap off the pace he was there or there abouts in every heat he was in and was unlucky to not get a rerun at the heat where he was pushed to the fence.
