Did it make it any better last friday ? I assume they have moved the referee's box aswell There is another Edinburgh thread that states all the changes. The starting gate being one of them. Suffice to say the gate move was a great success, brings the fans closer to the start/end of race action and improves the atmosphere as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tapeworm 169 Posted April 9, 2013 Big improvement but would be even better with the removal of the timber sheet fixed to the gate between the greyhound and speedway tracks. Or moving the gate. Then the view of the starts/finishes would be far better for spectators in the far end of the stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted April 9, 2013 what.. all of them.. they could save time and money by putting the foot rest on the otherside of the bikes and running clockwise. oops. would they need another steel shoe for the right boot or are the the steel shoes universal..would the 2 min time allowance count UP instead of down. would the meeting start at 10pm and Finnish at 7.. can honestly say i have never been to armadale,(been outside, )but never in. my loss im afraid..

george.m 3,063 Posted April 10, 2013 I was cynical about the move when I read about it at first, however I have to admit it improved the viewing and racing experience greatly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
