We reach the Final of the Premier Challenge Trophy in 2012 .beaten by Rye House in final.If l remember correctly our Guest Craig Cook pull out the meeting at Berwick after 1 race.

Wouldn’t count your chickens just yet

Correct,my mistake.

Jimmy Beaton the former Glasgow Promoter always said that weather forecast should not interfere with track prep,if the weather intervenes that’s bad luck.

Correct

You don’t have to stay indoors if you don’t want to,the Carvery opens at least an hour before meeting starts.Get there early

The trouble nowadays is you turn up because rain has ceased ,they “fix” the track, but the riders walk round and decide it’s not good enough9/10 Complete waste of effort from track staff.

Just giving him subtle hint then,That’s nice of you

Who has announced the line ups? He is only pointing out what he thinks was said last Sat.No names!

I think your are right missing Friday,don’t know about Sat.

Is he not missing also on Friday.

Home or Away win?

Bellego has always been the same ,like Berge ,when he can’t be as#ed he doesn’t try a leg,a waste of space.Mind on Poland most weeks.He returns decent scores there most of the time.

We only have half a season these days.

Cook is practicing his passing skills for when his “ big day” comes,he wasn’t very good at it last time in the GP.

He bailed out though and was calling meetings off long after you are talking about.Like I say no win situation brought about by lack of control over sport by the powers at be.Riders rule the sport nowadays.Technical Spec and track prep to suit bikes make a wet meeting a NoNo.

Len didn’t hang about when he started losing money.he got a fair bit of criticism at his early call offs,maybe that’s the why fans started voting with their feet

It’s a no win situation,but predicting we that forecasts before race days except in exceptional circumstances is a dangerous precedent IMO.The sport is in a dire state .

That does not show consideration for the fans if that is the case.IMO Speedway race day is a Saturday fans plan there weekend accordingly.

If fans start looking at forecast a few days before and make their own assertions of the weather and make other plans Promotions can’t really have any complaints ,it’s a sad reflection of where the sport has gone. Even the Promotions know the riders will complain about track conditions unless the dust is flying.Its a no win situation.

Maybe in your case.

Did the rain cease at 6 pm.?

Becker is a talent and givin luck will go far in the sport.IMO.

I do sympathise,but by the same token I am reluctant to attend a meeting if there is a cloud in the sky nowadays, mainly because the riders just don’t want know if conditions aren’t perfect.That has a lot to do with poor attendances in regard to weather conditions.

Maximum for Sedgeman no doubt
