Racin Jason 72 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Chances of the meeting going ahead with cook and batchelor present was always going to be slim. track staff did a excellent job but another shower made the decision. At least everyone goes home fit and well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather see 15 good races than 15 gate, go and follow the leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Ridiculous really. The track staff were straight on it when it stopped raining at 5:30pm and worked hard, but by 6pm it was obvious it wasn’t going to go ahead and needed a decision making. Whilst the dark clouds were getting nearer, everyone was just stood around waiting for the inevitable. Then It felt like the final decision got made for them when fans started walking out!

Don't think you should be pointing fingers at cook or batch. It should of been called off long before it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 How dare other teams have rain offs that’s only meant to happen to Plymouth according to some on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct,and why could this meeting not gone ahead at either 1 or 3 pm,,would have been done and dusted by then.i know hindsight is a good thing but just saying.Or call the meeting off after the initial downpour.

scaramanga Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 it was said the ref and some workington riders but it looked like it was a couple of scunthorpe riders and ref who were in talks workington riders didnt look to be saying much its a shame as the track staff did try hard but why did they only suck water up no tractor action after water tanker left track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 The second shower made the decision, I don't understand when the track is iffy why doesn't every rider do 4 laps, 2 riders at a time, the track would improve no end. Was water put down shortly before start time, despite the forecast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so easy to find re-staging dates despite clubs seemingly having so few fixtures. I looked and Scunthorpe or Workington or Scunny have a NL fixture, on every Friday till well into June, when I got fed up of searching for a free date. Maybe they'll put back a league match to run the BSN fixture, or race on a Saturday when they have an away match on the Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
