My record this year:
Klint testimonial- racing curtailed
Lynn home meeting - off because it might rain.
Young Stars off - air fence did a runner
Lynn v Northampton-dreadful in terms of racing
Y Stars - off. Track staff ill.
My patience has been sorely tried. 8 hrs round trip but I stay in hotel and hope for seeing two meetings in 3 days.
I have scrubbed Young Stars from now on. Been had twice - there won’t be a third time.
As to next year, there needs to be big changes for me to spend the money I have this year for little return.
I think that is the issue. People attribute great power to Facebook. But not everyone has an account, not everyone looks regularly and FB can be fickle about what it does and does not show users. A working and reliable website would be a start.
It wasn’t a great occasion. Dodgy tracks, rip-off hotels, public transport awful and roadworks. Wembley knew how to deal with 90k fans. Tube trains lined up, coaches given parking space. Cardiff struggled with 30k fans. Cardiff was OK for those who wanted to be on the squirt but sadly fell short in other key areas.
They can send men to the moon but can’t tell you what the weather is going to be 48 hours ahead. Worse than ever this year. Weather forecasters must be at the bottom of the least trusted professions-making estate agents and journalists look like saints.
