Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 31, 2018 What sort of cover system do they have in Vojens that doesn't work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly that is also having a massive effect. Neils explanation is the same as mine, and correct. It is soooo anoying but its just one of those things. Hopefully it will be rectified. But again, Glyn will have to go through the whole process again.. As i also said, with the amount of rain we have had this spring and winter has been stupid, mix that with the water table and you have a problem. You are fighting a loosing battle. Glyn even tried to pre-empt the riders by blading it off. Rightly or wrongly he tried. Does Glyn ask you to be his spokesman on here, as you seem to talk on his behalf a heck of a lot ? I'm guessing not - personally if i was him, i'd be asking you to stop doing that as you're probably damaging any reputation he has left. (Btw i'm not a fan of Glyns anyway as he beat Todd about 30 years ago, it just makes me cringe seeing you type about his movements and actions all the time) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRacer 84 Posted May 31, 2018 2 hours ago, BurntFaceMan said: No it doesn't work like that. It's not over engineering, it's basic engineering. What you suggest is huge over engineering. You don't need the whole system to be completely water proof. You just need to redirect most of the water from the track to the infield. You have made up an incredibly complex solution and rightly pointed out it is impractical. That doesn't mean no system is practical. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 55 Posted May 31, 2018 Am I the only one that was slightly relieved the fixture didn't go ahead, because I don't believe having Chris Harris at No. 1 would have brought the Lions many points? I take no pride in saying that as he's been a marvelous servant to British Speedway, however he just doesn't appear to be on it this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Crump was eliminated from the WC in the Aussie round after Crump had a notorious clash with Billy Sanders.Crump had scored 12 but got excluded wrongly Glyn Taylor got 13 he got asked to stand down but he took his place in the Overseas Final and was outclassed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted May 31, 2018 Best he looks at sorting out the track otherwise there won't be a club to attract all these riders you seem to want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
