So water not only coming from sky but very high water table under the track High tides killing the venue it seems. Have you got the tide times for next week?

Cast1rn Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 How much money has been wasted, ambulance hire, BSN turning up and setting up, saw a few bandit fans so travel costs etc. How many of those that showed up and paid money will be back next Tuesday for Redcar? I have never ridden a bike or graded a track in my life, but In my present profession and past employment I have alway adopted the 6 P's, Prior Preparation Prevents Pi$$ Poor Performance. If as Greg has stated, that they had been there since midday and nothing was done until one hour before tapes up was schedule, have the Plymouth track team put in sufficient "preparation"? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said they were the worst promotion in GB Speedway last season and they have sunk to even lower depths. The Plymouth supporters deserve better! Must try harder, much, much harder!

The Plymouth track team is Mr Phillips, the promoter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast1rn Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) The bloody Shame of it is I saw the Plymouth Fans on the Stream that were so loud up at Glasgow for the U21's on the telly and feel for them, the enthusiasm they showed for Dan Gilkes and Ben trigger was more than any other rider got that day. Hope they still have a team to support next season cause they deserve it. Edited August 8, 2023 by Cast1rn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 I haven’t seen what the guys on bsn have said because I was there but they have no reason to lie have they, I do hope even the most vocal of Plymouth fans on here don’t try to defend what’s happened tonight because if what there saying is not true than it’s defamation of character and there not going to do that it will be very interesting to see what the Plymouth promotion have to say on it all because it’s gone out to a lot of people tonight can they all be wrong.

Fromafar Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) You can’t really defend the sport in these situations it’s just taking the fans for a ride. The ref should have called this meeting Off when she turned up.Even she would know the half of the riders would not want it on in these track conditions.

Everything to do with no track prep til 6pm, according to BSN who were there from 12 noon ish! Anyway moving on. BSN viewers will enjoy a top notch meeting tomorrow. A spit more of rain due overnight but the track will be fine for Pirates v Cheetahs! Might even get a Super heat?! I thought they were filming at Poole. Obviously not :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the one super heat. If it's a draw on the night, and a draw on aggregate....one super heat decides both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
