Toady Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 1 hour ago, Bojangles said: But that doesn't always tell the full story. Track prep is often limited by track access, something most multi-use stadiums struggle with. Oxford is a prime example of this. The track for Cheetahs meetings on a Wednesday are rarely as dusty as the track for Spires meetings on a Thursday - because they have to wait for the greyhound meeting to finish in the afternoon. It makes a lot of difference. There are some valid points there, but whenever I went to Wolverhampton, the dogs used to finish around 6 pm. I don’t recall that being dusty at all. Regulars, however, may remember otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for one last visit to Perry Barr before it shuts, Awful track, down to dusty base on inside & no grip out wide.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 8 hours ago, foreverblue said: Maybe ref told him to but ref is at fault either way Happened right in front of me. First time ref called it back. Then it happened again and I questioned why on earth the start Marshall hadn’t tied it up. Then, unbelievably it happened a third time and the Marshall ran over,grabbed it and got behind the fence as the riders entered the 3rd bend, holding it above his head for the race. Just didn’t understand why it wasn’t secured properly in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bewley busting a gut up by the fence & losing ground! Please explain the relevance? I went to a speedway meeting to a place that is closing soon. Went to Oxford on Sunday as well. Going British Masters this weekend, it’s what speedway fans do. You are one weird bloke 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn’t understand why it wasn’t secured properly in the first place. Happened 4 times - once in Heat 7, once in Heat 11 and twice in Heat 15. I don't understand why it wasn't replaced by the spare starting tape sat on the centre green, especially since the Oxford management had already complained about it. It was just complete farce. I expect more than that of Poole. Edited July 31 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Not so much Poole Rob, just one individual who should have tied it tight first time it happened. Never seen something like this before, though seen faulty tapes on many occasions. Agree the race should have been stopped but the ref let it go, not the club.

You don't know what the communication was after the first stoppage of H15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
