Graham you seem to be in a grumpy mood. and i dont think you should take it out on the bowlers as they are the ones who keep you employed by bowling there every week. as at salisbury you cant rely on social bowlers unlike other centres that can. i do not bowl at Bowland Salisbury so i wont comment on the lanes but i bowl at Holeland Ingle Farm and can say that since they have purchased a kegel in jan this year the conditions have been crap every week. instead of having a go at a person or persons on here why dont u sit them down and talk to them and explain the condition set for that night then they might understand a little bit better

Who ever you are, you look up to graham as a god or something (why i dont know ). as you quoted one of the best conditions laid down, you obviously dont know much about lane conditions. As to grahams comments i am speaking for most of my fellow bowlers in wednesday nights league who do move their feet and adjust. and i dont know how you were watching us bowl when you were down the back most of the night..I think you must live and breath bowland everyday if you dont want to hear any bad things about it.
The league president complained last week and this week but was told that the complaint wasnt put through because it has to be in writing to the head tech. ( which is crap ) I bowl in many different centres throughout the year and adjust to each one but to have a condition laid down where there is no room to adjust or you have to bowl at 10k's just to move your ball is crap..If this is the condition to keep well you will lose a hell of a lot of bowlers.. and you wouldnt want that to happen to your wonderful bowland

My 2 cents worth.
It seems to come in Peaks and Troughs. The unfourtunate thing at Salisbury is that you can see where and what lane the oil stops at. 4 weeks ago, it was oiled to the 6 board now you can see the oil is out to the 3-4 board. Going back longer it was different again and then different again.
What I cant understand is why it changes so much??? Question for the TECHY?
The other thing is that Wednesday 3 Nations League unfortunatelly get Lanes that are already 3 games old.
Why do the Junior's get the fresh oil?? Why cant the lanes be oiled before our League??
Is it in the Centre's best interest to oil the lanes in a way that we do get an easier shot?
YES...Everyone wants good scores, it brings them back for more, it also draws in more Business, it also makes the League more Lively and Fun to bowl in.
As for all of the *****ing, Jarrod bowls on Wednesday night, Graham does not and the Techy doesn't bowl at all. Who here has STUCK up for the centre's lanes that actually bowls on the Wednesday night lanes?????
Either their crap or good, just make them consistent.

C'mon mate, how is it in any Centre's best interest to change the Oiling pattern from week to week?? Cost for Labour to acheive NOTHING.
How are they going to keep a Business going like that??
It is in the Centre's best interest to OIL the lanes to bring Bowlers $$$ in.
If 50 bowlers say the lanes are crap and 5 bowlers say they are good and YOU are the CENTRE manager what would you do??????
Would YOU oil them to suit the minority???? YOU would oil them for the Majority and if a handfull of Expert Bowlers want a challenging SHOT they may bowl elsewhere.
League bowlers want a 5 board Corridor shot not a 1 board corridor.

I bowled at Salisbury when they first opened.
I can assure you I have bowled on many an unfavourable condition through out the country, many I am sure with a lot worse conditions than Salisbury - one centre used to use cheap vegetable oil mixed with kero to fry, I mean condition, their lanes and they were black and devoid of much lacquer - but gee it taught you heaps about finding a line plus we had fun each time we bowled there. You'd have thought it would be a great target for arson with all that kero Ha! Ha!

I thought the whole problem here was there was oil....too much of it
Most centres just throw down a ditch pattern, to look after business and keep bowlers happy, which is fair enough. The pattern changes every week? Whether that just happens for a Wednesday night, I can't say. I bowl the night before and have never experienced a different condition over consecutive weeks.
I don't know of a centre that puts down a pattern for a challenging shot for one league....I consider the new condition to be a breath of fresh air.

come and bowl on a wednesday night if you think a **** condition is
challenging. They might be ok on a tuesday night but as for wednesday god only knows whats out there.. Ballzup is right, if the centre wants to keep its bowlers and make money they have to supply good conditions.. Im not talking about a fairy land condition, but one that we can enjoy and have a great night. High scores keep bowlers happy and comming back week after week.

The so called junior which you are refering to is either your wife to be or one of your siblings. not a local junior that you coach.. its pretty sad for you to have to use a new family member to back you up and try and make you look good... Good to see that they were banned for this site..just aswell otherwise your head is going to get even bigger that what is already is..I think your still sad that i beat you in the masters in feb.. its time to let go graham.. you may get lucky next year

As a once off mate, I'd love to. Sounds like a challenging condition you guys are having to put up with. Make some room in your team for one week for me and I'll come bowl on your Wednesday night league pattern. Let me know.
NB: I'm not being a smart-arse....i seriously want to experience what you guys are dealing with, and find out if they're any different to Tuesday nights.

This is the future!!!
The fairest condition ive bowled on all yr was at Salisbury in the State Masters, playable from multiple angles, held up pretty well and you got ball reaction you can adjust off. It wasnt a fairlyland conditon, you still had to execute pretty well. Put that pattern down and LEAVE it down, problem solved IMO. Im really starting to wonder if 'sport' type conditions hurt more people than they help to be honest.
