I am hoping you are kidding here , two riders injured but championship domination is a small price to pay. Tongue in cheek or not that is a poor statement to make , a rider getting injured is one too many never mind two , what a stupid thing to say.

Tongue or cheek or not that is a poor statement to make a rider getting injured is one too many never mind two , what a stupid thing to say. Of course it’s tongue in cheek. Ffs, people are so bloody precious (not specifically directed at you Gaz). The Edinburgh promotion set up a track to win a speedway meeting (their job btw) and slightly over-cooked it. I’m sure they’ve learnt from it. Talk of “this is what is ruining speedway” and “opposition riders might think twice about visiting in the play-offs” is hyperbolic pish.

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted September 8, 2018 Let the haters continue to hate. I’m sure the promotion won’t lose any sleep over a few on here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough I was surprised but suspected you were at the wind up but you will see how it will come across to people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now now Blobby I don't hate you couldn't really give a toss to be fair but you really do yourselves no favours at times in how thing's are done and leave it wide open for this type of criticism. Win at all cost's is fine but not to the detriment of the fans and rider safety. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not, but I'm sure they will if they run out of fit riders and supporters who want to be entertained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyropirate 0 Posted September 8, 2018 Genuine 2 Q's for those aspiring expert (home and away) posters on track preparation. Q1. What exactly is a "grippy track" and how do you prepare one to apparently thwart the opposition? Q2. Does one require a "flatter" tuned engine to get around without the bike pulling towards the boards or lower gearing? (I'll leave ignition timing and carburretor jet sizing aside for the moment). I know what a slick track is I.e . Down to the base, first from the gate etc. I once witnessed Brett Saunders scraping the old Powdehall track down to the bare boards I.e base + cracks exposed - Les Collins hated it!
