Here we go again.

the pole went in the ground 4 feet there at least

wait a haf an hour and those holes will be full of ash

blimey - he nearly lost that pole then :0

Somebody burning rubbish in their back garden again. :)

Mrs Bucket on the scene again.

A big hole :0

Two tonne of sand, three blokes with a barrow, we'll be back on track by 4pm.

going is good and waterlogged in places

Close the dump down - Hate the place anyway.

Kicking off...Alan King seething imo

Some poor fecker sitting on the toilet in Australia has just got a spike up is 'arris

concrete needed :)

Hetty Wainthrop on the case.

some fooker in australia just got a spike right up his ar5e hole

lol,AD

analogs
didn't see your post lol

unbelievable how far that went in .

Where's Fiona when you need her ? This looks like a job for super clerk !!!

These people could not run a raffle..How many times has this happened, should fine the course if they can't get the ground right.

Another eruption if they're not careful.

jocks couldn't organise a pi55 up in a....................... :)

No offence sweaties :) :)

Watch it Sherlock no great stars down there either...

:D

They dont want racing at Ayr - they want houses - but couldnt get permission - sadly looks like they are running it down to the point where they might get their wish

This happened last year same day same race (i think) - no pics here - is it on the bottom bend - it was slippy ground last year.

Whats the chances??

Your name had just reminded me what the ground there reminds me of, Mr Holmes...

The Grimpen Mire!

Funny how they only ever have problems when they have watered.

It will be a housing estate in 5 years time - HOPEFULLY.

Just as well Denman isn't going it would be an open air pool by now.

It's only Grass for Fcuk sake, how hard can it be.... drains... banking round the corners. Give me a spade and a box of grass seed and I'll sort it for them

How come they didn't find the problem when checking the going prior to racing?

no wonder the UK has gone to the dogs everything is just badly organised lol.

Don't worry, the Racing For Change boys are coming over the hill - led, I think, by Capt Mainwaring.

waterrat - that would be being competent.

Did the groundsmen from Wembley stadium advise them on their turf management?

any news yet?

ffs im on the distances , only need another 7 lengths from 4 races. :-(

OFF (Volcanic Ash)

First joker arrives - next please

If they build a 6 storey block of flats on that, it will
sink and become a bungalow. (nice basements though)

They are still using the old manual that "Flipper" left behind before conquering the North Sea................

racing delayed half an hour

ta

I think the Saw Doctors have had to arrive by ferry - not by plane due to Icelands Revenge - and will be late statring after racing Ayr Racecourse have dreamt this up to ensure that the racing stops in time for the Saw Doctors starting.

I wish I was there this year again :(

Do I get a prize for the best conspiracy of the day - in fact its a double conspiracy tale :)

The "Best 20 farces in British Racing" thread needs reviving imo.

Oh, hang on, wiz, I thought you said something else.

To win just once would be enough.

Its funny that this has started to occur after GPT was introduced!!!, i may be wrong but i can't remember Ayr having these kind of problems every year before around 2002-anyone else????

it all provides more ammo for zil when he speaks to the BHA.

there is no way there should be any ground problems on GOOD going.

AYR going - Good (overwatered in places)

GPT ? THAT ISN'T THE PROBLEM.
THE OBSESSION WITH SO CALLED "SAFE GROUND" IS THE PROBLEM. ONE DAY THEY MAY REALISE THAT OVERWATERED GROUND IS ABOUT AS UNSAFE AS IT GETS.

Bit of both i think FB, one is used as a smokescreen for the other on many occasions. Trouble being is that more easy ground horses are now being bred, tends to make it a vicious circle in the end.........

Ayr probably need to start all over again as long term it does seem to crop up every year now, unless its the volcanic ash to blame :-)
