Then we need to find a way of declaring it a wet meeting, with a wet setup, whatever that may be. Can't just keep calling them off based on forecasts
-
I do, and that's why the sooner we move to awarding these matches and not trying to put them on in perfect conditions the sooner the riders will realise they're missing out on a pay packet
-
To be fair there is rain about, I'm a mile and a half from the track and we've just had a shower, nothing that would have come anywhere near to canceling a meeting... but they're not even giving themselves a chance of putting a match on.

It is tremendously difficult, the forecast for the next few hours seems to be changing on the hour... which is why you just can't rely on a weather forecast in this country. Personally I don't like to see matches called off unless there's actual real rain, but like you say I don't own a club. But what ever happened to preparing a track for forecasted rain, having sawdust ready in case... and dare I say it, track covers... all this 2nd guessing with what the weather is going to do is doing the sport no favours at all. It's getting on for September and here at Leicester we've got to rearrange Kent on a day when Nicholls isn't with Buzby, Edinburgh, again and now Glasgow... and the KO Cup

Another match to fit in before the play-offs... and we seem to have completely forgotten about the KoC

If by swings and roundabouts you mean wrong decision made then yes I do agree. Another Saturday night with Beaumont Park laying silent

Looking at the met office app and it's not looking like a great decision... AGAIN!
