Never said what riders didn’t fancy it.I know it was riders from both Teams.Barker seemed to be the only 1 that fancied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was a bit disrespectful of Greg to make that comment.Given that he probably has no knowledge of track prep at Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 It’s done now, but where I live in Plymouth it didn’t rain after 12 but then I am about 5 miles from the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 2 ref's declaring the track fit, the main instigator being a Berick rider influencing the rest causing the meeting to be postponed Berwick were withholding their service's, in that case they should be fined and should also forfeit the points with Plymouth getting them. If the rider concerned has lost his bottle mayba he should have stayed retired. It is extremely unfair to blame Plymouth when it was all brought about by Berwick It comes down to track prep, plain and simple. Whether it rains or not, the track needs to be prepped to suit the conditions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you turn at start time with dry weather there should be no way the meeting should be off.Poor all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Seems daft to blame the Berwick riders when they’ve travelled so far for nothing (Connor Coles excepted). Why should anyone put themselves in danger on a track where racing would be difficult and you’re just going through the motions? Who wants to watch that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watched a load of guff last night on a well prepared dust bowl. Easier to add water to a track than take it away.
