I have said that I think Speedway has to lower it's ability level of rider to keep going and be affordable... However, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that having 'lesser' riders on some British Speedway tracks would be nothing but carnage... If Morris and Musielak cannot ride it then you cannot ever really comprehend running meetings with a much lower standard of rider making up the majority of team places.. Cricket Test Matches would get completed quicker than a Speedway Meeting... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now many of you are moaning, and yes looking at the track its pretty dire. Now perhaps somebody preferably from Swindon could tell me in plain English, do you have Dogs on a monday afternoon ? Because if you dont, that track apart from being watered regulary during the day in between grading should have been drowned at 4.30.. Looking at the dust it looks like you have the same junk that several other tracks got and took off. As a Poole fan you are in no position to judge others for poor track prep. Poole is regularly shocking so give it a rest 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,274 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Heat 10.... Last one out, switch the lights off please.... Be interesting to see what the Polish teams make of tonight... Might find a few lads getting a touch of 'Summer Flu' on Monday and Wednesdays between now and season end... (Oh, and on Thursdays too)... (And some still criticise Woofy for not riding in Britain?).. Edited July 23, 2018 by mikebv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted July 23, 2018 It's like watching speedway in the fog FFS! Can't believe how poor the track prep has been! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bellego and Mountain amongst others are riding it OK which kind defeats your argument somewhat. i do agree about duty of care, the track is atrocious.

Gaz 214 Posted July 23, 2018 Until these tracks are sorted the only live matches should be from Belle Vue, Kings Lynn, Somerset and Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all know what you really meant & having a dig at someone for missing the meeting because of work & then another dig that he was looking at updates whilst at work is poor.

He came across as tho he was sat at home watching the meeting, as for having a dig er no, if you was at work would your boss allow you to watch up updates ?
