BTFC LION

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.

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.

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 !!

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?

Good evening, am posting this with the blessing of the gaffer, The reason for the back straight and turn two get churned up with tractor tyres is as follows, we have take 80 to 100 thousand ltrs of water off the track and from the drains over the past week or so, the only way of doing this is by tractor and water bowser, which only holds 4 thousand ltrs at a time, so you can work out how many trips that takes, the only place we can put this water is outside of the stadium, our only exit from the track is along the back straight and turn 2 through the pits, we have no choice, can't leave water on the track, can't get it off without causing some damage to the track. We will do our best to get this meeting on. I have worked on that track for nearly 6 years now, have worked with the best track curators there are , So I find it disgusting by someone on here claiming I did something to the track which caused SD to end up in hospital. That 1 post has upset me big time.

No they were not open, big gates were padlocked from the inside, small gate was unlocked but closed with a bar through it on the inside, so unless you have keys? Or you climbed over you did not come into the track.

The gates were all closed!! I emptied the drains , which is a regular thing, 2 main puddles on the track which we always get, all water was off the track by 5.30,

There were very good reasons why the tractor went out after heat 2, and an even better reason for us taking the interval at ht 10 rather than ht11,

You are welcome to come and spend the day with me.

It's been very difficult on track these past few weeks, wind and sun are our biggest nightmare. The problem is , riders do not want a lot of dirt going into the bends, that makes it so they can go in hard and fast with a degree of safety. That in its self causes us a problem with watering, as you need material to hold water, also the first few races most riders are on the inside line so it gets a battering. The tractors spin the dirt back down, not to hide anything, but to try and protect the base of the track and also bring the dirt back down so there is not a big build up mid to outside. We are not the only track having problems at the moment, I have spoken to a number of track curators it's a similar story. Hope that explains a few things?

I don't know who's asset he is, will ask the question.

Connor is riding for scunthorpe at Glasgow today.

Your not wrong, looks like I have come home with a fake tan.

I am sorry for the dust, we had been watering from this morning, but due to the strong wind it was drying as fast as we could get it on the track, we pretty much ran out of water, if you noticed I was even trying to get water out of 2 of the drains between meetings. Apologies!!

The call was definitely right!! I've been to the track today, could not even walk on it without it clumping up on my boots, not a chance of getting a tractor on it today, I have taken around 20 thousand ltrs of water from the drains and track tonight.

We still have it, we use it before meetings manly, to be honest it's most effective when there is a good amount of dirt on the track, but the grader is best at moving the dirt back down to the inside, it may get more use as the weather improves which allows more dirt to be added, which in turn allows better watering, as it stays in longer,

I only pointed out who it could be, as it looked like you were unaware,?

I am not there, but I would guess the centre green presenter is also the owner, promoter, track curator,

You want to try it, my head spins for ages after, joking apart, it really does help protect the iner part of the track,

Really pleased people enjoyed the meeting tonight, I was a bit busy so going to have to buy it and watch it another day.

Good all sorted then, I will be there from 8am, you clearly know who I am as you quoted Facebook earlier in posts, let me know when you are there and we can talk, bare in mind if its during the meeting it will be busy.

I agree with you, all are volunteers who do it for the love of the sport, we all want it to be the best it can be, all the time, sometimes it goes wrong, but it is not for the want of trying,

What part of I don't do threats do you not understand? I want to find out who you are so like in the past someone had a go behind a name on a keyboard, when we met we had a great discussion on what was happening, going on, after about an hour of talking he understood alot more about that subject. Ha, we are now actually quite good friends. So an open invite, if you wish to discuss it properly then please meet me.

No threats, I don't do threats. Report to who ever you like. Tried to give out facts for information, so people know what's going on, but all people seemed to want to do is attack those who give up lots of time for the sport. You wonder why track creators quit and walk away, keep going, won't have any left, there isn't many now.

I will shove it where the sun don't shine when made enquiries as to who you are.
