Top of the league goes through to the final, 2nd & 3rd into a semi, winners to the final. It's been ridiculous this season how long Leicester have had to wait for Poole to get their arses into gear Thats spot on. Same in the Prem 1st through, 2nd and 3rd battle for a final place Edited October 27, 2022 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An utter quagmire. The only solution if they have any chance is to blade everything off and sprinkle down a bit of dirt on the base. How it has got like this is beyond comprehension. Presumably you're going to share this picture with us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 27, 2022 I can’t share the photo as I was told when receiving it not to post it. Sorry I would if I could. the whole of the back straight is in the photo taken from the pits gate looking towards the third bend, with a back of a tractor in the forground. The grader is plastered in very wet slosh, and it is the same the whole way down the back straight. You would need a pair of wellies to shuffle through it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Hunter 370 Posted October 28, 2022 It's not looking good for tomorrow. It's been raining four miles from the track this morning. According to the Met Office It's going to be sunny this afternoon but there's an 80% chance of heavy rain for at least 4 hours after about 8 am tomorrow.

Supersub 79 Posted October 28, 2022 Apparently they are planning to scrape clay off today but all too late I fear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 28, 2022 Latest is the track staff are blading all the slop off the track today to take it right back. But rain is now due tomorrow morning. An early call off would be appreciated for the hundreds of travelling fans making the long journey up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also on the day of the meeting it was also said by others that it was a dry day. Do you seriously think it's something other than water that's causing this issue? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Water the initial cause but perhaps if I the track had just been left alone rather than churning it up the damage might not have been so bad? So on BSN last night they were advertising the Premier Pairs meeting which is due to take place here on Monday night. Shouldn’t the Championship Final take precedence? If tomorrow is cancelled, then Monday should be the rerun date with the PP being put back a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
