Dekker Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 No problem with Tyson riding tonight. The necessary paperwork has been sorted to make sure he can ride. So its an FIM meeting now LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gornal_Heathen Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm coming over from Coventry in about an hour, good to hear & hope it stays ok out there. Although just had a look outside and its very grey. Hasn't rained enough to have it called off yet I wouldnt have thought, but if it comes down heavier then Im not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Amazed this is still on, been raining all afternoon. They say they have had drizzle but im about 10 miles away and its been quite heavy at times. Im not going to risk it, was really looking forward to this meeting too.

21st century heathen Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 We've only had light rain so far and that won't have caused any problems with the track. The radar suggests some heavier rain is possible/likely, but I would be very hopeful that with the weather having been soooo dry of late that the track can take it. After several hours of moderate rain yesterday the track staff still had to water the track before the Wolves v Swindon meeting, and Monmore does take the water well these days (and has done for many years now). A short delay, if required, to allow time for falling rain to stop would be acceptable as far as I'm concerned because I genuinely don't expect the track to become unridable. It's a cracking looking line-up at this level and very tricky to pick a winner, or for that matter to pick a general finishing order throughout the field.

Dave Goddard Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 It's off... DUDLEY Heathens Speedway have regrettably had to cancel tonight's eagerly awaited FAST Golden Hammer meeting at Wolverhampton due to the adverse weather. The club are keen to do the showpiece event justice in the best possible conditions and it WILL BE RESTAGED later in the season. Dudley's next home meeting is at Birmingham next Wednesday, July 21, against Isle of Wight Islanders.

heathen79 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Called off around 5:25pm - just too much rain by the sound of it and the forecast was for more during the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I stopped over after going to the England v Bangladesh cricket,and Wolves v Swindon the day before.Both were excellent value for money.It only starting drizzling in the town centre at about 2.30pm.By 4pm,I was convinced it wouldnt go ahead,as the rain increased. Got to the stadium at 5.30pm,just as Kyle arrived.Within a couple of minutes,it was called off.We took a look at the track and there was a huge puddle on the inside of the 1st turn.No way could anyone have cleared that in time. Great shame,as it was a great looking field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I see the new date is Tuesday 28th September at Monmore Green, fantastic as Im off work then so will be going downto hopefully a cracking meeting.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hmm, 'spin' usually gets into gear a bit earlier than just a WEEK before a meeting!! Still literally NOTHING on the Dudley website about riders invited to the restaging which is a week tomorrow..! Article in this week's Star suggest riders to take part include: Todd Kurtz (Newport) Craig Cook (Buxton) Nick Morris (Buxton) Nicki Glanz (Plymouth) Simon Lambert (King's Lynn) James Sarjeant (Bournemouth) Obviously they'll be a few home riders (am guessing say four of them...)which still leaves six places to fill... Maybe a Scunny rider...?? Maybe if he's fit Buzz Burrows..??!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Jacobs from Rye House is also included but we are currently awaiting fitness updates on Jon Armstrong and James Sarjeant. Adam McKinna was due to ride but he's unfortunately had to pull out due to Newcastle's re-arranged fixture at King's Lynn the same night.
