Dandelion 775 Posted July 21, 2017 What about 'stoped'and 'stopped', is stoped actually a word ? Not you too... He probably just anger typed it on his phone on the road... You know how tiny them keys are xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Not you too... He probably just anger typed it on his phone on the road... You know how tiny them keys are xDno, not at all,,, just making an observation. Maybe now his phone is in bits, strewn along the motorway somewhere, but I would quite happily give Robert £60 for his wasted fuel, but unfortunately he'll never get his time back.or maybe put the sixty quid towards a full set of track covers for Somerset, apparently they are cheap as chips Edited July 21, 2017 by ruffdiamond 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Robert's wasted day/money/fuel is part of his job... It's how he makes his money and his life... So when he complains... It's because he's lost out on a day's pay... Not because he doesn't get to ride/watch a speedway meeting... Is £60 for 800 miles good like? I dunno Edited July 21, 2017 by Dandelion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted July 21, 2017 Not an ideal situation but it happens. Obviously somerset wanted the meeting on as it would be a bumper crowd. As it stood they didn't open the turnstiles which I appauld. The track had big puddles but only on the inside and I've seen much worse ridden. Ho hum night in the pub and better luck for us tomorrow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted July 21, 2017 do riders still get travelling costs ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,201 Posted July 21, 2017 They should still get travel I think there is a time limit for cancelling a meetings but as he had already got there think the riders might get fuel money 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Doctor... 1,478 Posted July 22, 2017 Not you too... He probably just anger typed it on his phone on the road... You know how tiny them keys are xD It'll just give him more time on the beer in Cardiff, doing coke with some pretty high profile people in the sport, getting a bollckin by the police for having a dust up with a cab driver, having a fight with one of the Hortons, and bedding a pretty-ish steward from the stadium... Actually, no, that was just one of our years at Cardiff.. a great weekend had by all All the best to everyone down there this weekend.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalan 717 Posted July 22, 2017 Feel Robert getting bad press here. He was happy to ride along with a few others. Meeting was a BSPA event so not Somersets call otherwise it would've been called off early afternoon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted July 22, 2017 why is he making a statement that it cost £60.00 in fuel then . he was going to Cardiff any how . grow up Robert. its time to stop the wheelie poping and get down to the nitty gritty of being a speedway rider . life is not free , it costs . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunner85 603 Posted July 22, 2017 The crowd yesterday would have been reduced as some people would have decided against going. When postponed approx 6.15 the car park was not full.... Talk of it being moved for the new date.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
