Will Anders Rowe be fit? What actually has happened to Jordan Palin? All this and more to be revealed soon (ish)

Just goes to show what a lottery calling meetings off based on a weather is. 90 minutes before start time it was forecast 80% chance of heavy rain from 8pm, its now 9pm and still dry... thank goodness! Meeting came alive in the end, it's a shame that many of the riders opted not to come round and wave at those of us that are here

Brilliant move by Holder!

Just as the racing comes alive you lose the stream lol

Apart from that race of course

It's a travesty that a track that can and has produced some fantastic speedway racing down the years, more often than not doesn't these days

Flint

Oh stop moaning!

I've put my money where my mouth is Lisa... I'm sat in the stand among the meagre crowd

Weather forecast is deteriorating

Parking is probably £1.50 then

Any team news?

it's changing by the hour though... now 50% chance of light rain by 8pm and 90% chance of heavy rain by 9pm

Peterborough are a track that cancels on forecasts, 50% chance of light rain from 6pm... at the moment

Because there is life outside of Scunthorpe... this was due to be on BSN, which is probably why it's had more interest

I love a good conspiracy theory... is that a man wearing a badge hiding behind the grassy knoll? It does look remarkably dry in the photo though

Who could have forecast that?

Calm down dear

Yes but you're not only 2nd guessing the weather, now you're 2nd guessing the promotion as well... probably safer just to stay at home unless there's no sign of rain on the radar

I agree, but clearly times have changed with the drop in crowds and no drop in running costs calling off meetings based on weather forecasts is now how they operate. I do think it would help if the powers that be could get all their ducks in a row so we as fans know where we stand

Didn't really look that dodgy though earlier in the day yesterday

Not quite as cut and dried as that though is it... you'd obviously look at the forecast, in the good old days you may have looked at yesterday's forecast and thought, chance of showers, if they get one, unlucky, the track is going to ride heavy, not, i wonder if they'll call it off anytime between when i leave and when i get there even though there hasn't been any rain

Thanks... actually didn't know you could do that, perhaps this needs to be more widely communicated to fans... it does mean you get bombarded with all posts, suppose you could turn it on while you're travelling though... not sure what i do about Birmingham or Leicester though as they've blocked me

I agree... when do you check though? Once you're on the road it's difficult to keep checking, illegal in fact without continually stopping to check every 15 to 20 minutes if you're travelling alone. Surely in 2022 the technology exists to message subscribed fans when a meeting is called off. A WhatsApp or Telegram group for example. There's obviously a need for something or fans wouldn't continue to turn up when a meeting has been cancelled hours beforehand

Oh yes... you get to see Superstar Sam Ermolenko in full flow in his "office" on his telestrator... it's definitely worth the subscription fee
