AHH,sorry,thought it was a genuine dig.

You do realise this is a Speedway internet forum.  As Paulco says it is very much banter and we give and take all season with our friends from the East and anyone else such as Poole fans but mainly Edinburgh Moanarchs fans LOL

Depends how thick someone's skin is I suppose . You dish it out , you take it back , it's all good fun . It's why Scottish derbies are so special . We can poke fun at each other and have a drink together in the bar afterwards .

I went to Worky last Saturday and must say I loved the visit as this is a trip I had been missing the past few seasons.  It is a brilliant looking stadium if I had a minor complaint it is the fact that you cannot move around from the home straight and bends to the back straight and bends without having to go out of the stadium but it is great set up and look forward to seeing it improve as the season go on.

Yes the route to get to the 3rd/4th bends is not great, but I am reading that it is being solved this week. Probably allowing fans in the straight part and having gates when the bikes are going on or off the track between races.

It will be better next year, as the 3rd 4th bend area is being filled in to carry on banking all round the GT tyres arena,

You must be thinking about the 2nd bend where the pits are?

Will be able to walk around the whole Arena once it's filled in.

Yes I get that, but there must be an opening somewhere to get bikes and riders from the pits and on to the track.?

A big gap now where the pits and pits gate are on bend 2, this area is by passed by the spectators to access bend 1 and starting straight you go out and round the back of the pits, but hopefully next year you will be able to walk round bend 3 + 4 to access starting straight and bend 1 +2

So the complaint by many is why you can't go from bend 3 to bend 2 because of the pits access gap, and you have to go the long way around the back of the pits to reenter the track up the bank and the back of the second bend. Earlier  statements were 3rd and 4th bends were being filled in so you can walk around to the home straight so that raises the question how do they then access the track with the tractors from the 4th bend.. I find people complain more about not being able to go direct from the 3rd bend to the second bend without going around behind the pits.
