The Newcastle Chronicle is quoting George English as saying that Stancl will have to declare tonight if he is fit enough to compete at Sheffield. Stancl returned home to the Czech Republic during the week to see his doctor. He is still unsure and may then have to be replaced. Christian is still injured, James may not be available so I hope the replacement will be Pepe Franc. He will do himself and the club justice and hopefully end our disappointing season on a higher note. :)

Are there live updates on the meeting, for those of us unable to get there?

 

I looked on the Met office rainfall radar, and there looks to be rain heading northwards today, hopefully it will not be too heavy and spoil the meeting.

 

Good luck to Doolan and Topinka.

It is actually raining at the moment, in fact it's just started to chuck it down! It's going from just being in the air to as it is now! The BBC weather website seems to think that the band of rain should have passed Sheffield by 1pm, so I'm pretty confident that it will be on. Those of us who have been to recent matches have also witnessed the amazing job that the track staff have done to create a competative track when we've had a torrential downpour at 3pm!

 

So I say, don't be put off, get yourselves to Sheffield to cheer on your boys! :D

 

I believe it'll cost £14 to get in (as Paulco) suggested, but expect an extra charge of £2/£2.50 for a programme.

Thanks Redcar Bears, I'll look in as I'm already registered on your Forum when I was following the recent Redcar v Kings Lynn match.

 

Rainfall radar can be viewed on this link.

Looks like the rain is passing through on its way North. Hopefully the Sheffield track staff will have enough time to get the track raceable.

Too right Micro...Edinburgh and Mildenhall do spring to mind when the rain was terrible, and we still got a great track plus great racing.

 

Hoping for a good meeting...come on Andre!!

Weather is now stunning! You'd think it was summer :P

 

Blue sky with white fluffy clouds (occasional greyish one but nothing to worry about) and the road outside our house is drying out :D

 

Abandoning my Sheffield loyalties tonight I'm afraid, I'll be there with Kev Doolan's fiance so I don't really have a choice! Have always thought he'd be in the thick of it anyway. Mark Lemon will probably do his usual job of giong through the card quite quietly and unspectacularly and end up in at least the semi. Andre didn't look totally convincing on thursday but then the track was pretty rubbish too (sorry track staff, but you only have to look at the times to see what I mean - hopefully there's a reasonable explanation, I think I heard someone say the waterer had broken, so that might be it.)

 

I'm going to go with quite a few people and say that if Andre isn't totally fit then I think it's prpbably wide open.

 

Just thought, Garry Stead pulled out of the Cumberland Classic last night with a wrist injury, anyone know if he's riding today or not?
