Cheekee Raylee Monkee 14 Posted March 22, 2016 Sounds to me like the contractors have accepted they messed up and are working hard to put it right. Either that or Gordon is paying the same builders even more money to put a bodged job right, you know like those stories you see on watchdog when some poor sod has been duped by a cowboy builder. It'll be interesting if the builders or the council, the people that actually employed them, make any public statements. It looks like the promotion is already on the contractors' case................ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkl5PvDnqZM Dramatis Personae - Basil Fawlty - David Gordon Manuel - Chris Morton The Major - Buster Chapman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,354 Posted March 22, 2016 MIGHT just point out that the hole in the Poole track, which seems to have been there forever, is apparently still there and riders aren't happy about it. The hole in the Poole track is not there. Facts Phil... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparkafag 746 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) None so blind as those who will not see. It isn’t a hole though to be fair, it’s an intentionally placed rut that’s there to ensure Wimbourne is the bestest track in the whole wide world, Matt dug it himself don't you know.

If he wants a light bulb changed, at this moment in time, he would have to contact the Council project team who would then instruct the on site team. That's the chain of command with the Council paying the bills until all the construction work, as part of the Belle Vue Sports Village, is complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Game On 1,117 Posted March 22, 2016 Hello Eddie Shoestring - looks like your investigative skills are waning. We do not have any real facts/explanations yet. Wait for the true facts to emerge before you jump to conclusions. You will face a long wait for any true facts to come out in speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
