Irk Deflector Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have no idea how these things work. If you are a much better knowledgeable position perhaps you could enlighten us what the protocol is following the March 1st ruling. Not a sarcastic response by the way. Not sure you need to tell anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Tonights meeting Swindon v British Lions has been called off. This is due to the awful weather forecast for this evening. This is a great shame as the Swindon team will not have ridden together before our meeting with Poole next week, and Chris Harris has an article in the local paper stating that the Brits need to have meetings and a session like Denmark had the other week at Kings Lynn where they had a three day session on track.

noggin Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It better rain, or this is another own goal by the promotion, apparently there are showers due in April, better wait till may to start the season then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Prefer May be a damn sight warmer .....anycase nxt weeks more important and better to get trophy out....Poole...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adder Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It better rain, or this is another own goal by the promotion, apparently there are showers due in April, better wait till may to start the season then. What a load of tripe. Even if it doesn't rain it will be bitterly cold and they'd be lucky to get 500 through the turnstiles. Why should the promotion risk a heavy financial loss to please a handful of dap-wearers? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGE9359 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 They're bound to re-stage it otherwise they'd be diluting the season ticket saving and that nice Midland Robin would never do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry A ORLOV, Poole won't have ridden together either - in fact in some cases won't have ridden at all competitively, so should even things up. Chris and Darcy will probably still have jet-lag so I reckon you will have the definite edge on Thursday and maybe Friday too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why put the meeting on the fixture list in the first place if they were worried about getting a low turnout?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Robin Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 To be fair, every forecast I have seen on local ITV has been for heavy rain this evening, I am in Bristol and it has been raining since before 10 this morning. Patch said some of the riders were having to fly in for this meeting. Think he made the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Wise to call it off now...bleedin freezin/wet out there, would have attracted less than 1000 and lost money. The season should be run summer school holidays only..fit 9 EL home fixtures in then!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Excellent decision re tonight's meeting and think they should postpone next weeks too...daytime temperatures of 3 degrees predicted. Let's wait until the warmer weather arrives and by then both Swindon and Poole should be well dialed in and we can then give them the thrashing that they thoroughly deserve... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry pal but you are the one talking tripe, so if there's no threat of rain, they postpone for cold Instead, make your mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well it's raining quite hard here - about 10 miles from Blunsdon so seems like the right decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
