Mr Blobby Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Joe Tabaka is VERY doubtful for Monarchs which will mean R/R and this very rarely matches the points total of the rider himself. You make it sound like he has a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john birch Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/Highbridge/ The above forecast would suggest that the match going ahead is eminently possible. Interesting webcam from West Somerset rly. We are/were planning to make a day of it with a visit to the steam railway followed by the Oak Tree arena. Sympathise with Monarchs fans.

oldtimer Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 BBC forecast for Highbridge at 10-30 am today is Heavy showers all day until 20-00 then light showers until midnight. However it's dry now 15 miles from track and just cloudy. Rebels web site just posted that meeting is still on tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track was checked this morning and apart from puddle on straight was in good condition (puddle being pumped off). Met check says showers but all clear after 6pm. Website posted meeting still on because it is still on, whats so amusing about that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Crew Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Just rode up to track, looked in good condition but just had a heavy downpour in last five minutes, all depends how quick sun comes out I guess Sun now shining and rain stopped, gonna be a late call off if it doesn't go ahead. Sun now shining and rain stopped hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I emailed BBC Points West asking why last Friday they covered the match between two local Rugby clubs and Bristol City losing again, and never mentioned the Rebels away to Edinburgh. I received a reply from Alistair Durden sports journalist today saying he will try and get a mention re tonights match. STATMAN I have sent you a pm with his telephone number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Dare I say it, but this is a huge risk to run this meeting tonight. Of course I am hoping its on and the Rebels clinch the title they so richly deserve, but it would be such a shame to run it whilst dodging showers, or on a track that can't do this history making meeting justice. Fingers crossed that it stays dry from here and the famous Highbridge wind blows strongly across from the M5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldswindonsupporter Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Just had a live from the track piece on Points West about tonight's tie! It did say that they just had a rain shower - track had water on it but it was said to be rideable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelRebel Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Heading home from this one. Track just took an absolute soaking on top of the water that was already on it. If the meeting is run in those conditions then shame on the club. Will not be a spectacle just 4 blokes crawling round a muddy field. I wish the boys the best of luck if it is on.

Mr Blobby Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Well done to Somerset on being crowned champions! Thought they would have finished us of earlier than they did but for us to keep our chances alive until the last bend of heat 14 was a fantastic effort from our 6 boys tonight! Unlucky in the end but we will be back to do it all over again and hopefully go one step further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
