Your talking to me and Tusunami mate. You put them on the centre green and that is where they stay untill you can get VOLUNTEERS to come in unravel them spread them out then fold and roll them properly, which is NOT a 5 minute job. more like 4 plus hrs. And that just on our track !!! Get over it will you, listen, it is just not practical... Tarpualin or no Tarpualin. Your making yourself look silly so drop it.

Yeh thanks mate, i saw that one on one of our meeting coo-ordinators facebook pages. I love watching that sort of era, gives you a real insight into how things were. Look at the amount of dirt on the track, although the bikes were a lot different than they are today. Show a bike dirt nowadays and it shreeks NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!

You lift them inwards, from the fence down to the centre Green..

Got any footage ? I love watching those days, really gives you an insight into how things were..

Its a big issue, and totally impractical. And tarpualin is a waste of time, you keep banging on about that, but its worse than PROPER covers.. Hang them over the fence, clearly you are clueless. As for your other point, no when the track sweats it can make it like an ice rink, which is even worse. Perhaps you'd like to VOLUNTEER to put these covers down, for 5 hrs, then spend 3 taking them up.. Im glad you realise how long it takes to set up for a meeting, and its not just down to putting the airfence up and Ez running round a few times with the grader... Clearly you got your nose put out of joint with your remarks hence your sharpness in your posts. Its not all beer and skittles, or getting your boatrace in the programme. Ask your 3 blokes that spend the winter up the OTA taking the kickboards down and re-painting and re-placing them, and re doing the netting on the straights. Give them a buzz ask if you can go up and volunteer...Im sure they'l give you a paint brush. That includes getting the airfences back out and setting them out and D clipping them , properly Then you'l realise how hard it is, and how heavy they are... Its not a walk in the park Tusunami will tell you the same.

Definately, believe me !!

If you put crap covers down the water will seep through, if you put decent covers down it won't, but whichever way you do it the track is going to sweat, unless you raise them off the ground and that is not as simple as it sounds and is.. And Swindon and KL.. Ours a Somersets are 2.99 and Somersets is 300 !! So it doesn't take an expert to work that out.. Just not practical.. No mate, sadly Najier does know how a track works or how much work goes into getting a meeting ready,,, Safely. As i said, VOLUNTEERS don't grow on Tree's nowadays..

Your first point, it cannot be done, you felt how heavy they are and we are talking PROPER covers, not crap., And for you second point, you had 1 raker on the 1-2 bend last season. The rest were scraping the boards. I do watch !!!

Yeh, and im very sure you played your part...

We've tried it. 5 hrs putting them down, and 5 hrs taking them back up again in the pissing down of rain, ok call it 3 hrs if you don't roll them back up properly again and just shove them on the centre green.. But you still need the VOLUNTEERS to roll them up properly and put them away, Dogs won't have them sat on the centre green.. Any VOLUNTEERS ?? They don't grow on tree's nowadays.... Najier.. You should know, how many rakers do you have on the bends ??

Sidneys not been banned !!

I don't think like Orion is saying anybody is condoning what Darcy did, assuming the test was right, i just think the majority want to see him ride again and forfil his potential..

Nice to be talked about in the same breath as Middlo, im flattered..

Yep, and im very sure you'l be jumping up and down for joy..

I'l remind you of this statement should he get a ban, really wouldn't want to see you jump on him from a great height now, would we !!

Shock horror, can you tell some of the other disbelieving souls on here then !! And thats why i call for an ALL TEST before every GP round...

Nah, you really don't say.

Thats not what im saying clearly you can't read..

Im not so sure.. Then if its no big deal why havn't they anounced a ban by now, not 3 delays down the line ? I think there's a lot more to this.

Let it all go over your head mate, the worm will turn. Its a marathon, not a sprint !!

So explain the put backs ? I don't think thats normal, do you ?

Its a shame Sky wasn't around in those days of the early to mid 80's. I wonder how then it would have affected attendances ? Spot on. Reguardless what anybody says, there is still a big gap between the EL and PL...

Im sorry to hear that. But if Darcy is cleared to ride I would like to think, and hope he's learn't his lesson this time.. As ive said before, Darcys destiny is in his own hands....

You really do have a problem with me don't you... You may have got shot of Steve and Alan, but you will NOT be doing the same to me, so I suggest, you get of my back. As I said, many on the old Darcy thread stated Darcy was Drunk, again, there is a massive difference to being DRUNK and being slightly over, if he was...

Clearly you have led a very sheltered life then...
