    So Doyle’s flight is delayed and can’t get here. 
     

    lidsey in same meeting as Doyle last night is over here already. 
     

    looking at flights. Doyle’s flight was due to land at stanstead at half 12. Get out of the airport approx 1pm then got a 5 hour drive in busy traffic to get here. What a weird way to travel to Manchester. Something fishy. 
     

    also they get a facility of 75% of his average. Why did Oxford not get this last week or did they not want to use that facility.

    BBC weather site predicts rain for most of the day in Manchester?

    They said that last week against Sheffield and we was watering the track before the start. 
     

    I never take notice of what they say. 
     

    met office as some rain in morning and chance of light rain into evening. But nothing to cause any problems really

    We haven’t had heavy rain as of yet and I’m about 5 miles from track. 
     

    The weather been perfect last few days here so track would have been prepped for this and as we know we can take alot of water. 
     

    im edging towards it being on myself. But the result will be a lottery now

    Had the most unfortunate experience of going to this meeting today and what a total waste of time.

    Firstly I would like to know if the start marshalls have any form of training or have to attend any form of seminar. Do they have to understand the rules?

    A pre start shower definitely affected the track and rider performances but how can you try to explain to a group of 7 newbies about tractor racing for 20 minutes.

    Total farce of a meeting and Belle Vue should be ashamed of how they dealt with such a farce.

    Credit to the riders who actually tried in difficult circumstances, but others need to take a long hard look at themselves and ask themselves do I really want to do this! 

    Yes. It wasn’t a good look for us. Very rare indeed. 
    the start Marshall’s were standing in as our normal ones were away

     

    regarding the track. And this is a massive bug bare of mine and this is my opinion why a lot of riders never make the step up from NL to premiership. 
     

    that track was absolutely spot on yesterday despite all the rain we had. The premiership boys would have loved that. 
    but because the youth system and NL give all these youngsters tracks like motorways they don’t know how to ride when there is a bit of grip. 
    they then have to learn how to ride with grip in competitive action thus knocking there confidence and eventually being lost to the sport.  
     

    so I dont like doing this but I blame the riders for not having the skill to race and not the track itself.

    I see Oxford have cancelled tonight's practice. Any conspiracy theories about that, or is it just Plymouth who aren't allowed bad weather I wonder?

    Cancelling a practice after doing a few meetings already is totally different to cancelling the first 2 fixtures

    I did hear the match against us could be in doubt due to track but they have since had good weather so hopefully they have sorted it now. 
     

    but it does seem weird they have not put any pictures up of the finished track yet. 
     

    when is your P&P btw
