I know I'm probably asking a stupid question, but the forecast on Friday looks...well...not amazing from what I remember. I know someone did post a forecast link earlier in the topic, but I think the forecast may well have changed?

JamieE Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 The BBC weather forecast has significantly improved, now saying rain in the morning and dry for rest of the day, hopefully not too much damage will be done over night, should allow time to sort the track at least if it's only in the morning.

Ah... Well they won't call off a greyhound meeting as they probably get a lot of money out of that! Suppose we'll just have to risk it. May well be the only chance I get to see any of these young foreign riders ride over here, for a while at least. On 8/16/2012 at 9:48 PM, STARRGAZER1 said: Seriously thinking about going.

mdmc82 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Raining in coventry at the moment. Hopefully the sun will come out and dry it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks! I hope the showers don't cause any problems for later. Don't particularly want to see racing on slop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieE Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Question is, will Peter York consider this meeting a big enough occasion worthy of wearing his red blazer for?! You know it's a big event when that makes an appearance! Has stopped raining where I am about 8-10 miles from the stadium, overcast and a bit windy still but hasn't rained for a while now.

TheSmiler Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Probably gonna make a decision for this at about 6.30ish, really hope it's on. This Summer sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Summer sucks. Same here - Just looked at Rain Today which shows the rain pattern and it looks like we are in for a huge deluge later. BUT that should hopefully be through before 7.30pm - it just depends how well the track holds up. I cant do a day time re-run tomorrow as I will be at work, so don't want to buy a ticket until I definitely know its on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayed till 4pm according to someone at the track. It will be a shorter practice and could still be cancelled all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
