Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 9, 2018 Hearing that Poulner Hill at Ringwood is shut due to an accident. The main way towards Poole from London and most of the UK. Just had a call from shaleshifter who is stuck in it from Southampton. His gps is saying an hour to get through but if the road is blocked..... hopefully no riders caught in it. Harris would come this way as would most Leicester riders. Fingers crossed they are already through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Strange one this, Why were we forced to race 3 meetings at the start of the year on a Wednesday without our Danish riders , when it appears Thursday is now an option... Is this another new rule ???? Edited August 9, 2018 by g13webb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 9, 2018 Both teams were happy to fulfill this meeting on a spare week for Poole as Rye are no more. Leicester stronger tonight with guests. Everyone is happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the fixture list this week there were teams not playing, who could have been fitted in on the said FRN. Seems a bit early to start using Thursdays on that excuse.... Are we saying then, that the closer we get to Play-off's we can ride on any days just to get the fixtures in ???? It makes a mockery of the whole FRN shenanigans, and really puts the boot in on Rye House's battle of survival.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fullmax 79 Posted August 9, 2018 Would love to have gone to tonights meeting but work and a 600 mile round trip rules that option straight out .Really enjoyed our visit to Wimborne Rd a couple of weeks ago even allowing for the result. Great Stadium , track and Poole Quay itself was great. What more can you want ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 9, 2018 Well tonight the track is not as good as the last two weeks. Seems the track staff were worried about the rain which could have come a bit further west. It’s slick tonight and underwatered imo compared to the last meetings. No dust of any consequence at the moment but a couple of our guys have struggled a little.

If the sump plug has been put back in that tractor, the track will be different I guess 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Rained off... Where did that come from. Must of been a big one ? Rain stopped, track a little wet but not unworkable workable according to someone at the track, with Boo's from the crowd. Save's several grand on points money I suppose.
