JCookie Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 This could be one of those meetings when if it rains you've got a wet track and there is not a lot you can do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 WILL it be on even if its raining? I am going to come to this but It's a 5 hour drive Atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbiter Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 This is on my Birthday am hoping this is going to be on but I don't think it will with more rain forecast and the rain we have had I would think it would take a miracle to get the track in any fit state.

Chalkie Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Dying to go to this, Is there any news from the promotion as to the chances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndBender Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Maybe But Hardly likely to attract any wasps Supporters, as Maybe Gjedde mellgren ,Aspergren, Lanham, Abit like putting Glen Cunningham in and expecting Newport Supporters to turn up  Who's Glenn Cunningham, Bill?

billybikespeedway Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Who's Glenn Cunningham, Bill? Â Just one of the most Unpopular Riders to have Ridden For Newport, Most Newport Supporters would not Cross the road to See him Race ,Let Alone the Severn Bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew2 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Â Â Just one of the most Unpopular Riders to have Ridden For Newport, Most Newport Supporters would not Cross the road to See him Race ,Let Alone the Severn Bridge He was one of the best at the OTA though! Highlight of most meetings was a Cunningham blast around the boards at some point. Sad to see his racing career end there with his crash when riding for Stoke against the Rebels. Â Getting back on topic I think the track may be raceable for Friday but my fear is the car park and surrounding areas as they are badly flooded at present.

Â Weather forecast doesn't look promising at all.Currently doubtful that I'll be going based on it that's for sure...http://www.metoffice...bridge#?tab=map. Of course things may change but if the car parks etc are flooded that might well be the deciding factor regardless of how the track is!

Devilforever Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 judging by the amount of rain we are having in Plymouth at the moment, cant see this being on myself, pity as I know a load of us were coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady s Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Was thinking of coming to Somerset for this but after the weather we've had not even going to risk setting off this time .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Plenty of rain in the Devon/somerset border. Im sure the promotion will make an early decision to save fans trying to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) BSPA Press Release  URGENT SPEEDWAY POSTPONEMENT  FRIDAY DECEMBER 28 CHRISTMAS CRACKER, Somerset - OFF Re-arranged Friday January 18, 7.30pm  ATB  Dave Edited December 27, 2012 by Gambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Good early call off, shame I won't be able to make the new date, a Saturday would have attracted more travelling fans I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I agree. Well done on the early call off but having the re-staging on a Friday evening when everyone is back at work seems like a strange decision. Is it the case that the OTA only has permission to run on Fridays because otherwise, in terms of crowd numbers, surely a weekend date would have been better? Â Either way, unfortunately there's no way I will be going to the re-staging. Belting it down to Somerset straight after work on a cold Friday evening for a fix of speedway simply has less appeal than taking a leisurely trip down there on a day off over the Christmas period or going during a weekend and making a bit of a day of it.
