Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Sounding like they have might have cocked the track up. Loads of grading going on. When there’s a delayed start due to latecomers, I believe the meeting should still start on time. Very unfair on those that made it into the stadium before the allocated start time of 7.30. If a fan turns up at 7.30 it’s their fault they will miss some heats. Edited August 6, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPD444 112 Posted August 6, 2018 Not normal for grading to be going on after two heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a fan turns up at 7.30 it’s their fault they will miss some heats. Sometimes i think it is fair to put the start time back a bit.You probably don't but many people have to do jobs nowadays that work until 6.I am one of those it takes me about 15 minutes to get home,by time i have a quick bite to eat and a shower you are looking at nearly 7pm.20 minutes to Lynn parked up and in the stadium and you are looking at nearly start time.If they were to start at Lynn at 7-30pm i think i may be one of many that don't show again.I would prefer an 8pm start and catch up my 15 minutes sleep the next night.

Just an expression I have heard used about the riders in position 3 and 4. Normally the two best riders are in positions 1 and 5; the reserves are in positions 6 and 7 ; so 3 and 4 form the engine room. In this simile the scores for the Aces in 3 and 4 total 14 points whereas the same for Stars total 4. Hence Bagpuss' comment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
