HGould Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I saw on Countryfile that South West eg Devon and Cornwall had 300% of average winter rainfall from 1 December to 29 February. I cancelled a week in mates cottage from Thursday for a week on basis of forecast down there next 10 days last weekend. Off to Portugal tomorrow. Plymouth rain off won't be because of this week it'll be past 3 months. Hopefully they can sign someone for a month as they seem confident Covatti will be back on early May. We'll done them for not paying 4 figure sums especially after Crump did them over big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd assume the same rule can be used for Covatti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 3 hours ago, Jaizer said: Didn't wolves get the 75% guest facility for Becker, and James wright at Birmingham too? Didn't he get injured in a testimonial at Plymouth before had ridden for Brummies? Don't know why Plymouth wouldn't at worst get that facility Because Neil Vatcher has said no.

Pinny Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Could tell from the pictures ages ago the track was a long way off being anywhere near ready. Place looked like a quagmire amongst a bomb site. Plymouth shouldn't be anywhere near middle tier speedway to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 With only 11 home fixtures, unless they qualify for later rounds, starting their home season late, shouldn't harm Plymouth. If anything it means less gaps once they get going. Only downside is holding up the BSN semis & finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t actually think the track changes are going to do anything as the entrance and exit widths are still the same. Just the middle bit of the corner that’s wider.

When you have a year's rainfall in 3 months it's no surprise. If they'd just left track as it was and done no changes it would still be off. Going to be more off than on if weekend forecasts are right. Needs a week of dry some sun and some high winds everywhere. Like March used to be.

eric i Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Convenient for Plymouth with no number 1, I bet these 2 fixtures get pushed right back into the season and will hold up BSN series for everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should Plymouth not be anywhere near the middle tier you clown, on Monday we had a months rainfall in 24 hours, tell me a track what could take that the promotion are trying to make the track better and there’s keyboard warriors like you giving them grief for it the weather down here for the last few months has been horrendous what are they meant to do.wind your neck in concentrate on your own team whoever they are and keep your nose out of something that doesn’t concern you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your club is a shambles and ever since joining the middle tier , under Bowden and current management, there is always something going on thats not good. Those pictures of your track work summed up the level the clubs at. That JCB must be at least 40 years old? Plymouth is a third tier club. My club Newport in the last 6 or 7 years of its existence was also just a third tier club operating beyond their means in the second tier. I didn't admit it at the time as , as a fan, you want your team operating in the highest league possible. But on such low crowds it should of been in the National / Conference league. Plymouth is a third tier club. Admit it and move on. Do you think the likes of Glasgow or Poole would struggle so much with replacing a heatleader? No chance.
