foreverblue Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Well, if they don't do something they could be cutting there noses off to spite there face. But thats there decision.. Mate, ther'l be enough damp in the track already i think... Be a shame if the meeting is too wet for decent racing when they could postpone it to next week. I am sure most fans would want a good meeting irrespective of who you support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Lots of rain over Birmingham for the next few hours. Thank god for those Ronnie Russel track covers. Due to clear late this afternoon so plenty of time to get the track watered perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to clear late this afternoon so plenty of time to get the track watered perfectly. The covers are B.S.P.A's not Ronnie Russell's. They also cannot be laid days and days in advance of a meeting. With the rain that Birmingham has had over the last 2-3 days there's nothing the covers could have done. Having them down for that long in advance would end up doing more harm than good to a track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure most fans would want a good meeting irrespective of who you support That is exactly what we had on 9 September last- not much 'consideration' was given that evening to 'decent racing' but, of course, everyone was working to a different agenda at that time!

pirateandi Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Has the track definitely been covered ? If not then poole fans who are coming I wouldn't bother as they would be no chance of this going ahead weather shocking here in the midlands !

Due to clear late this afternoon so plenty of time to get the track watered perfectly. Trying to be a weather expert again. Think these covers have been a waste of money as no one seems to be using them. Did Poole have them down last weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 We will know in the next 15 minutes if tonights leg will go ahead. Meeting OFF - Tomorrow now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirateandi Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 If it's postponed which is the likely hood tomorrow's weather is forecasted to be good would it be too much of an inconvenience to re-schedule it for tomorrow for all parties !

Pirate Baz Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 We will know in the next 15 minutes if tonights leg will go ahead. Is that genuine or meerly speculation POP? What is your source? Would save us OAP's a trip and can also cancel our accommodation up to 1 o'clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storming Norman Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Oh no, at the same time as the crucial England V Poland World Cup decider. BSPA Vice Chairman Jon Cook deserves to present the winning medals. Poole wouldn’t have made the Play Offs if it wasn’t for Jon. His selfless decision not to object to an under strength Poole postponing the six pointer against his Lakeside side did indeed prove decisive - Lakeside would have been the Play Offs instead of Poole otherwise. Jon deserves huge praise for putting the good of speedway ahead of his own club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 We will know in the next 15 minutes if tonights leg will go ahead. Meeting OFF - Tomorrow now. That's gonna give SKY the viewing figures they need to show Speedway next year! A dead meeting up against England looking to qualify for the World cup! Someone had better e-mail Eurosport...

Adder Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Are these track covers the same ones Poole used this time last year when hundreds of Swindon fans travelled south on the Friday night only to find out the meeting was off when we got there?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many had similar thoughts when a televised meeting went up against what was practically a title decider a couple of seasons ago between Man City and Man Utd. I hear the viewing figures for the speedway were a pleasant surprise, so stranger things have happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
