    A good friend of mine took his grandson to the Leicester v Newcastle match a couple of weeks ago, I asked him if the track was any better and he said it was utter shyte.

    I have been twice since it opened despite living only 35 miles away and despite a tidy stadium and viewing area the track, parking and racing is dreadful.

    you are entitled to your opinion of course but you seem super-crtitical. (I too disliked the actual track when it first opened). I have seen 3 meetings there so far this season (not Newcastle) and there has been a lot of passing and close racing. I find viewing is fine whether standing or sitting and you can park in Sainsbury's for 4 hours.

    Peterborough operated IRR for Palm Toft on Monday and Nicholls took an IRR ride as well as a tac. sub. If he had ridden in heat 15 he would have had 7 rides.

    If P'boro had got a 5-1 in heat 15 to tie scores would Nicholls then have been able to ride in the super heat? (8th ride)

    I have already e mailed Dale Allitt  re this as the lack of direction resulted in people having to queue when they did not need to. No reply as yet.  As wife a BB holder we now are able to park inside, this is not without its problems due to the new gates now being used. One of the problems on Monday were those who felt they did not have to queue steaming up the outside then trying to force their way into BB and VIP queue thus causing even further delays for those trying to get to normal parking area.  As I said earlier one particular chap seemed perfectly prepared to crash his car to achieve this. A number of people in camper vans tried the same ploy ,I originally thought they were riders  but now I wonder 

    yes, in the 10 mins we were watching the chaos we saw a number of queue jumpers. .. Strikes me the season ticket  'perk' is actually a disadvantage!

    The (very) slow entrance for those cars entering the car park through the gate near the track was baffling to us watching from the outside car park. If this contributed to the delayed start then  they need more than 1 person on the gate.  Plus they need the attendants further back towards the entrance to get cars into two separate lines. Basically i'm sure that with all that space at the showground entering the complex could have been much better managed. 

    As for the track...very slick producing very close races but little actual overtaking.  I personally enjoyed having 16 races for the rice of 15! .. and I'm so used to delays I hardly noticed them!
