It rained all night tuesday night. You could not walk on that track at 11.30.

I understand what you are saying and i agree with you. But the referee made the decision to call the meeting off. The riders may/ or may not have had a say in the matter. End of the day rider safety is paramount. Glyn moved heaven and earth to try and get that meeting on. please read my post. We are all rather sick of this weather, and spare a thought for Matt, the buck stops with him, this is costing him thousands.

Still riding for POOLE in 89, i dont care about 05-07. Facts mate. He was also at POOLE in 0-3 with Trick.

Yes it was. You really want to Quote Glyn. I see it for myself. Please read my main post.

The REFEREES decision.

You going to come and lay them. ? and then take them up, maybe in the pouring down of rain, 5 hours to lay them properly and 4 to take them up, and thats to just put them on the centre green without rolling them up properly. When we trialed it EVERYBODY agreed including Ronnie Russell who brought them down said its just not practical. Then, you have to have the VOLUNTEERS to do it, people have to work, that unfortunately comes first. Now, you can dig what you like out of that, and so can the other" experts" on here but you are all talking rubbish.

Wrong. He was still riding for Poole in 89.

Even if Glyn had heavily watered the track from the time he got in would not have had that effect mate. It was deep into the track. And Glyn would definately not, have watered on an already saturated track..

Mate. Im neither going to argue with the dumb dumbs on here nor reply to them. I got to the stadium at approx 11.30. The track was sodden. We had a lot of rain last night, that was forcast, thats what we got. But even i was suprised at the state of the track. Glyn showed me, the rain had gone right through and the track was a quagmire deep down Glyn worked his Nuts off all day, on his own, no help whats so ever, including errecting the airfence which as anybody on here with half a brain cell on will know, when they are flat and you put them up tons of water comes off them, There is nothing, you can do about it That is and was pretty restricted to the outer part of the track. And before anybody mentions it, the area Glyn showed me was well away from airfence reach. In the afternoon, it was clear that because we had no drying wind and it was muggy the track was not going to dry, no matter what he did, he could have put the spikes in all the way round to help the track breathe he may well have done that, but even that may, not have helped. So he tried to pre-emped the riders and bladed it off to hopefully give it a chance to dry a bit more in the last 3-4 hrs before the meeting started. Sadly, the REFEREE Grahame Reave one of our most experienced referees, deemed the track UNFIT to race, i dont know if the riders were involved. It took everybody by suprise. I asked 2 former riders who are part of our track staff what they thought, they said they wouldnt ride it.. Clearly, the damage was done overnight. First and formost, the riders do not earn the fans do not get to see Speedway and Matt would have lost a fortune tonight given it was a school holiday and we would have got a decent crowd judging by the ques outside This has been a total disaster and everybody is pretty cheesed off.. The amount of rain we have had this winter and spring puts rainy Manchester in the shade. This is what i know and all i know.. I will not add to this, nor reply to any other poster.

BOO

Years ago now.

Probably a point and half to play with.

Good post..

I gather you are not talking about Gomolski replacing Spanner. Gomolski's average is a lot higher..

I hope your right mate. Speedway has always been known as a friendly sport. Ok everybody sticks up for there clubs, some on here take it a stride to far, but we do not need that in Speedway. its also creeping into horse racing, and we dont need that either thats why its being jumped on, now.. I ask any fan from any club, if they see this sort of behaviour they should report it to the stewards forthwith.

Yeh but DC doesnt know that. He tries to be funny and clever at the same time, but really and truely, he's neither..

Im sure Glyn will do his best.

3 pts needed, nothing less.

Very true ht 12, sorry, typo, after that we only had to see the meeting out, It will do Woryna the world of good to drop to reserve. He has a lot of abillity and this should help him build his confidence. Starkeys just a stop gap until Klint comes in. Then we have to get the rest of the side firing. We are improving, as ive already said, and last night showed that. But ht 15 was suicidal..We will get there, rest assured.

So would have i. But Neil did the hard work in ht 11 with the reserve switch, we only had to see the meeting out. Things are improving and having Woryna at reserve is a massive plus it will do his confidence the world of good., But we cannot afford to make silly mistakes like that. Its done nothing we can do about it now, we just have to pick ourselves up and go again on weds.

Gavan do us a favour. Go away.

Thank you..

Morris comes down of his own accord in ht 8 and tries to get a re-run. But was excluded... Tough...

Stop gap due to averages..

Not tonight mate, but i'd be happy with a point. As ive said. NOBODY, will win at Wolves this season..
