No business should be run on volunteers, however, turn it into a Trust with no ownership, with theTrust running it, then there is scope for volunteers Under the previous ownership there was an emailed newsletter why isn’t this the case now ? I might be wrong but I think it was Dick Barrie who composed this Love him or hate him Mr Barrie is very good at media promotion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its up to the club to attract people to Shielfield to see the meeting tonight, looking at the website up to time of writing you would think there is no meeting happening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No-one can tell because no-one knows. Quite blatantly it all depends whether the forecast rain arrives, how long it lasts and when it stops. Scunthorpe was called off in line with the forecast and the forecast was wrong. Somerset went ahead despite heavy rain up until around 2pm. Too many variables to be definitive. At the moment hot and sunny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That maybe the case but that still doesn’t mean that anyone will state an opinion on here to wether it’s on or off *edit someone has so what do I know Edited August 10, 2019 by Tellitasitis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the hours leading up to the Somerset fixture he posted: speedway's off". Which was a lie. Had he said "in my opinion it's very unlikely to go ahead" that would have been an opinion and no-one would, should or indeed could have taken exception. If the reaction has made people think twice before publishing lies then that's good for the world in general and this forum in particular - most wouldn't anyway. I repeat that, in my opinion of course, no-one is saying whether they think it will be on or not because there are too many variables to take into consideration. Maybe they are even taking a responsible approach and will only give an opinion when they have one. I don't believe for one moment that anyone is frightened to offer a sensible opinion. Numpties such as POD might be keeping their little fingers off the keyboards in case they get burnt again.

Personally I will always post weather updates on the day of a meeting, if nothing else to assist those who have a distance to travel, thankfully something I dont really have as I`m five minutes from the track. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
