Counted about 8 lights out around the track last night, with bend 1 and 2 looking especially dark, where most of the crashes were last night 

I wouldn't agree it was the worst meeting! It did become increasingly difficult to see clearly due to the increasing breeze and dust on bends 1-2 especially.

Agreed, i had a friend with me last night who hasn't been in years and although enjoyed it thought the racing wasn't very good. The blue groove on both bends was awful as well, haven't seen it like that for a few years. Also noticed that several of the track lights were out on the first and second bend that made it a bit dark, not ideal for rider safety

Not sure any 'back tracking'? It was my honest summary of his night's work. What others wish to take from the original post is down to them. It did state 'to avoid any confusion' as some will have a different knowledge  and interpretation of ' the white line'! Anyway I'm off for a game of tennis now so I'll be trying to avoid the white lines as much as possible.

Mcdiarmid is an exciting rider to watch at Oxford. Doesn't always gate but he certainly will put in the effort if at the back.

Not sure about tongue in cheek, more like posting before thinking type of comment. See he is back tracking now, so obviously realises it was not a good thing to be saying.
