Great Central Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 thanks for update on weather would appreciate later update as leaving hertfordshire about 1-30 I would like to keep you updated but we are just setting off from Leicester now so out of contact of the BSF. Weather looks ok right now but depends on which way the showers go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Let's hope. with the gates about to open, that the band of rain (go to: http://www.metoffice...adar/index.html ) looking to be heading up that way either fizzles out before it gets there or misses the area.

Bryn Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 4.10pm: JUST spoken to Kevin Shepherd and only winner again is the weather! Provisional plan is to try again on Wednesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 IF the IoW win on Weds how on earth are they going to be able to stage a home leg of the Final as Dudley stage their home leg on the only remaining Tuesday..?! The more one looks at this the more one has to question the decision to go for a replay. Surely in the past some KOC competitions have used the run off at the end of the second leg when a tie's drawn. That would've saved us from all of this, this time around...

Triple.H. Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 wouldnt Dudley be able to ride on the monday or have Wolves got a meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My wife and I can't get back to Mildenhall again this season, and the likelihood of us being able to get along to West Row next year until May, means that our re-admission tickets will be out of date. As we left the stadium, two punters were being given their money back at the turnstiles, so I made the same request, but was told that there was no cash available at that location. That in itself was a lie, as I saw some £20 notes in a cash box that one of the ladies was closing. When I asked why the previous two people were given a cash refund, yet we were being refused, we were told that they couldn't get back to any of the next three meetings (i.e. possibly two this year, and the opening meeting of 2014). We pointed out that we couldn't either, which is true, so why couldn't we be afforded the same treatment. “Oh, they came over from Holland” we were told, so obviously with tongue in cheek, I said that we live in Switzerland, but all to no avail. So if any person in an official management capacity at Mildenhall Speedway is reading this, would you please advise me as to how to get a full refund please, because what happened at the turnstiles was out of order, you can't have one rule for one, and not another.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Don't think Wolves have a fixture on that Monday though I suppose IF the Olympique were rained off tomorrow that might take the Monday as a restaging date..?

Great Central Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'll give that a try, thanks. Mike, I hope that the email approach works and you are able to get your money back. Full credit to the Mildenhall promotion and track staff who worked their socks off from 7 this morning to get a raceable track and it is just a pity that the weather forecast wasn't accurate.There was certainly far more rain than predicted.

Great Central Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Is this meeting definately on today,whats the weather like in the area ,it is supposed to be okay this afternoon Meeting is off and now shown as such on the BSPA website. Meeting being run tomorrow now. 4th attempt to run this meeting - what a farce. I know that you can't predict the weather but how do they expect riders, team managers and spectators to keep switching dates at such short notice? And the drivers/mechanics!!

cityrebel Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 this tie should have been decided by a run off after the 2nd leg of the original staging. it's far too late in the season to be running replays. with the weather looking unsettled over the next few days, i can see some of this years fixtures not being completed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Yes it is ridiculous,Does the league co-ordinator decide these things,,if so how is he going to explain his ruling, if the final does not get completed ..When a simple run off on the night could have decided this ages ago.. Time to introduce some brains to the organisation of this league.. If indeed there is going to be one next season, with the possible drop outs occuring...? Grand Central is spot on with his views ..The chaos and costs caused to the rider,s and mechanics ,etc, days at work lost ,,as well in many cases ,These lads often finish up losing more than they earn,when the meeting finally takes place...
