Starman2006 2,356 Posted April 29, 2017 Many days are dodgy in Poole, it is because of the locals. Yeh, anybody north of Newbury is classed as a northener.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Yeh, anybody north of Newbury is classed as a northener.. We will have to do what we used to do at Reading, that is chuck some shale on the track because Matt does not seem to have any.

You cannot just CHUCK some shale on the track, it needs time to bed in. It can be done after mondays meeting and give it over a week to bed in.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur54 1,305 Posted April 30, 2017 It looks like dust not shale,I can remember going years ago and the covers on the greyhound track use to be covered in shale, I know we have the deflectors now, but the track seems so bare,dust after heat 1 don't seem right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalan 717 Posted April 30, 2017 Looking at the track surface I would say the last lot of shale was very poor quality. It looks and feels like dust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,648 Posted April 30, 2017 No Gerald Monday as he has taken his spade to Dry House. No Gerald Monday as he has taken his spade to Dry House. According to the Rye House website they've had a new delivery of shale for Monday!!! Maybe Gerald can 'borrow' some when he makes his way back to Poole in the week?!

Catalan 717 Posted April 30, 2017 According to the Rye House website they've had a new delivery of shale for Monday!!! Maybe Gerald can 'borrow' some when he makes his way back to Poole in the week?! He'd be frightened to put it on Track! To be fair I do know the quarry where the shale was coming from was under water at start of season so couldn't get if out of ground.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 30, 2017 The Poole track staff seem scared crapless of putting water on the track. A couple of men holding hosepipes and afraid to put more than a light sprinkle on the track every 4 or so heats. Billowing dust for everyone to suffer, fans shouting out from the grandstand about it as a bloke holding the hosepipe waters the centergreen! Wheres the water bowser? It never shows its face during a meeting. Ever. Two hosepipes is clearly nowhere near enough. The very next race after a "watering" the dust billows up after a couple of laps. Far worse this season and unacceptable. Really needs to be sorted out, quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
