You are a Bully Im quite happy for you to block me as you certainly can't enter in to any form of rational debate. I'm quite happy to stand by my record as an overall constructive and fair minded poster prior to standing up to the bullying of me and others by you and your sycophants.

I wonder if on the British Weather Forum, they’re chatting about Speedway?? May head over and take a look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted September 6, 2022 It’s not the weather per’se, it’s the inability of Plymouths track to be able to take much of the wet stuff. As it’s only a tiny track, I would have thought some tarpaulins would be a potential answer? You wouldn’t need as many as a track like Berwick or Belle Vue. I guess they can try next week, but then what if it’s the same? Until you fix the underlying issue of the track not draining well enough, you will end up going around circles (pardon the pun) has to be a cut off at some point, the winners could be about who gets their home leg on and who doesn’t, with the non raced leg forfeited. You can be a great artist, but if the canvas is unusable, you won’t be able to paint thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am happy to be corrected but I understand the biggest issue that some have touched on is the water table there. There's a tidal river right by the track and that creates a big problem at high tide periods in March and September and the majority of the moisture is from underneath and not above. I guess some daming or even looking eventually for a new site may be the long term answer with sea levels rising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sherborne Green 320 Posted September 6, 2022 With regard to the water table you must remember the stadium is next to the River Plym and the name of the area could give a clue. Marsh Mills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted September 6, 2022 I hope they can find ways to improve the tracks ability to cope with the elements, but just having taken a look at the radar, that area is about to get a serious deluge that would wipe any track out, send it towards Essex please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saw a local one on telly when waiting for the speech to come on and might get lucky with showers missing -ish. Couple of heavy ones might hit in the morning. Depend how heavy and how long they last. Forecast feels very similar to the one vs Redcar. Edited September 6, 2022 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
