A ORLOV Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Weather should be mostly fine tomrorrow.. So 'rock up' and enjoy it everyone... Not according to this http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636389 Have to hope the forecast changes throughout the day and bear in mind Blunsdon does have its own micro climate and can often be different to Swindon.

manchesterpaul Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Charles Wright in the line up for BV along side Brendan Johnson at reserve. If this meeting should go ahead, heavy rain forecast in the Swindon region in the coming hours, any idea which reserve rides where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham78 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 does anybody know if the re-admission tickets from the abandoned meeting against Birmingham are valid for tonight's meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Despite the disadvantage we have at reserve, compounded by Nielsen's injury, on paper we should be winning at Swindon. Zagar and Nicholls are better around Swindon than any current Swindon rider and Cook and Worrall are at least a match for their Swindon counterparts. Those four should be enough to cover the shortfall at reserve and the deciding factor could be the scores at 2 for each team. Having said all that we got battered in the A fixture and so far our away form this season has been worse than any of the last 10 years so I'm expecting another defeat unless we finally start doing what it says on paper. You've covered all bets apart from the draw. Would you like to add that as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see Nicholls being better at Swindon than any of our top 3, esp Killer. And Worrall is absolute gash at Swindon. They really need to cover the track for tonight's meeting with SKY coming down it would be unacceptable if this were to be postponed. I feel we need to get some home meetings in. Where do you live in Swindon gater? Whats the weather currently doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Started to rain..... Is there dogs today?....does that effect any possiblity of covering the track?...if not considering some forcast's covering the circuit would be the wisest option....maybe?!

oldswindonsupporter Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 BBC weather forecast for Blunsdon http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636389 is not good and has potentially meant a no show decision from me already and that from someone who lives 50 miles to the west. Skpy Speedway tweeted earlier "Tonight's meeting latest news is light rain then stopping at 20.00. Swindon are hopeful meeting will go ahead. We will update SS1@19.30" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) BBC weather forecast for Blunsdon http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636389 is not good and has potentially meant a no show decision from me already and that from someone who lives 50 miles to the west. Skpy Speedway tweeted earlier "Tonight's meeting latest news is light rain then stopping at 20.00. Swindon are hopeful meeting will go ahead. We will update SS1@19.30" Are Sky using their own weather forecast then? A look at current radar and also a couple of hours ahead shows rain heading in the direction of the track. Whilst at this time of the day it's not covering the whole sky i just had a look at the Met Office hour by hour charts and they've certainly got heavy rain at several times ahead of the meeting for the local Blunsdon area.

A ORLOV Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 There will be no meeting tonight unless the track is covered 100% sure of it They are not usually allowed to work on the track or the drainage while the dogs are running round. If they do cover the track, a very difficult job, the water has to go somewhere and the drainage away from the track is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yep and started to rain hagonshocker beat me to it, I said where do you live in Swindon? Im a mile from the track and its only been very light rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
