Poole did win in 2011. Coventry finished rock bottom. Poole finished 24 points about Coventry in 2010 but they had Shamek at reserve after some very dodgy manipulation.

That’s exactly what they intend to do. Which one? As I as one of the track curators, I have never met you, have never spoken to you, have never msg you, so would be very interested how you get your information? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not correct, go back through the posts, the only thing I put on this forum was why the back straight and corner looked such a mess due to having to take water from the drains and off the track to dispose of it all outside, I have not posted since then !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was said on here the track was going to be bladed back to base and then a light dressing added so that the meeting would go ahead and any rain would be swept off. If you go back several pages the post can be found. Might have been Flagrag who posted it, who is very reliable. In which case I apologise to you.

Sadly Dan had to cancel the coaches . As somebody else eluded to, BSM will be the winners now, but Leicester will lose somewhere in the region of £3 k plus on the gate hard cash. I still hope we win, but you cannot bugger fans around like that. Edited November 1, 2022 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There you go. Or is Flagrag making it up? I have always found him spot on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I have seen this post, but unless you know differently Flagrag is not a track curator at Leicester, so your post is miss leading. Yes several of his comments are incorrect.

So Flagrag was wrong and posted misleading information? I have always found Flagrag posts spot on and accurate but clearly not this time. Perhaps you should have picked up Flagrag on his post as most on here believe what he posts as correct. As you are the trackman at Leicester there is no reason not to believe you. But I am sure Flagrag didn’t post his information to mislead everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only problem was that you said it was information from a trackman at Leicester, People can post what they like and what they think is right , I work all day, then straight to the track after work most nights, so don't have time to read everything, I was alerted to you post by phone call today, that's why I reacted to it. In fact I have had to read about 9 pages just to catch up with it all. Please be more careful with who you credit your information from. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flagrag has a good reputation on here and has posted for many years so there was no reason not to believe him. I am sure his post wasn’t intentially misleading. Hopefully, and judging by the picture posted earlier it’s all systems go for Friday. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
