dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Passed the stadium at about 5.25. A few small puddles on the entrance drive but nothing bad and not currently raining so positive at the moment. Not seen any sun yet though Beerhut!

Think there will be a lot of fans waiting in their cars until 7.30! http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/ipswich/ip4-2/weather-radar/330938 only has light rain until 9pm..... http://www.metcheck.com/UK/today.asp?zipcode=Ipswich&locationID=57308&lat=52.1&lon=1.2&findtype= has the heavy rain from 9pm also Edited May 21, 2014 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'll arrive at 7-35 and hope for the best, but who'd be a promoter? Lose lose situation, if It's on then only a sparse crowd will turn up anyway, if It's off you lose money and have to try and rearrange when we might be able to field a full team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm going to leave about 7pm then wait until 7.30pm before attempting to go in. Looks promising in town centre but not riding here are we?! If it starts they just need to get a move on and get done by 9pm, shouldn't be too hard (should it?)

2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well I'm now in a sparse looking car park. Seems quite dry and currently not raining. Can even see the sun trying to make an appearance! Can also hear the bikes warming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Nearly didnt bother when it rained at 7. Track looks tip top!! Remarkable really. Just need to get a wriggle on whilst its dry. Cmon the Witches - 53-39. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Neither meeting will be happening, certainly not tonight's meeting. Still time for tomorrow's forecast to change, but change dramatically it'll have to. Wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma T Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Suit the home promotion that - 3pts and not having to pay last three heats with a less than average crowd turning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Suit the home promotion that - 3pts and not having to pay last three heats with a less than average crowd turning up. Exactly! Get all three points up and then call for a referees inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Tbh it was the right decision. But have to say thanks to Redcar, especially Richard Lawson and their TM for all 3 points. Graversen should have been in heat 8 and Lawson not helping Skidmore at all in heat 11 allowed Ellis to pass. That extra point meant all 3 points for the Witches. Not a bad meeting either, Witches throwing away silly points and Tungate looked much better, Strange decesion by ref to exclude Manzares in heat 6 instead of Worall, Worall still can't find a quick way round Foxhall, Manzares took a tumble in heat 8 but luckily he looked ok, went on to win heat 11 in style. Risager is best Witches rider at present. Heeps after silly fall in heat 5 took a nasty fall in heat 9, lots of speed off 4th bend and caught both Redcar riders going into 1st bend, tried to avoid them but straightened up and very lucky not to highside. Ellis crashed out of heat 2 when in an easy 3rd after Crang had fallen. Actually the Witches didn't record a last all night. (Well technically they had did but were 5 fallers/exclusions) For Redcar, Lawson looks to have shown a liking to Foxhall, Graversen was gating well and Summers seemed fast until bike trouble saw him on Lawson's machine. the rest had their moments but genrally were poor, making the Witches look good Edited May 21, 2014 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
