Tigerite Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 It is in Wath about 12 miles away.....fingers crossed....Although I dont want to be told at 5 past 8 that "We've tried our best but the track isn't raceable"....And neither do all the fans who have to travel a lot further, especially Berwick fans....The Crowd will be down in my opinion.I think if there's a chance that this one can be run it will be run tonight as we have got to get the KOC out of the way, due to fixture congestion. Just got to hope we don't get some of the heavy stuff we got near race time the last time Berwick came down. It's always a tough call when travelling to meetings with a dodgy forecast, we went up to Armadale earlier in the season and it was dry when we arrived at 5:30pm, had some rain and was off at 7pm. 550 mile wasted fuel and hotel, just part of being a travelling supporter at speedway, unfortunately.

Halifordukesfan Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Worst rip-off is the non refundable £2 car park fee, the management really ought to sort this, they could at least offer a free programme for the following week on production of the car park ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 We've decided not to travel up from Hoddesdon. B4E is terrified that it'll go ahead and she'll miss it. To be honest if it was my team I'd feel the same way, but looking at the forecast it looks very doubtful that it'll go ahead. I've filled the tank and told her I'm willing to travel, but she has to drive and pay for the petrol if it's another wasted journey. Can't be fairer than that can I? If by any chance the meeting is run it's gonna be hell here tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that this meeting has gone for the third time running, surely Sheffield will do the decent thing and concede the tie. is that a new rule for 2014 or have you just made it up in your shell like head. all meetings have to be run unless its outside the finish date (season).. why dont we scrap all the meetingds and go owith what the speedway pundits say...ie.. worky as champions..
