Gemini Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, but the pressure isn't as low as first forecast, and by my reckoning the main rainband will fizzle out around 8:30pm But what's the good of it fizzling out by 8.30pm if it's been chucking it down before? The track will be saturated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) However - if god forbid Joonas Kylmakorpi were to get injured in his first race - Bees would be able to track any rider of a lower average for his four rides as per injured rider replacement rule. Now if no Doolan, Garrity was going to take 3 r/r rides anyway and therefore a maximum of seven rides he would be unable to take any of those rides meaning we would only be able to track Sarj in 3 races only and no-one in one race - just saying if .... Guest is the right option. Cheers Yet again can't run a team based on if's and if a certain might get injured ...The right option is always picking your strongest side and in this case it was rr so guest was the wrong option .

Phil The Ace Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Rain was due. Everyone could see it. So right call. but................. I can see why they called it of earlier but coventry ain't a million miles away so no need to rush to make a decision. It's not like it was poole or anything. Only takes an hour to wolves from coventry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedcrazy Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Postponed because it might rain. Sport becoming more and more mickey mouse with each passing day. Ever seen a cricket match, 20/20 for example, postponed in advance because it 'might rain'? I actually hope it doesn't rain till later. Absolutley spot on decision to call it off early, it was forecast to start raining at 3.00 PM, and it did, still raining now in wolverhampton at 10.20 PM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandking072 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Still hosing it down now. Hasn't stopped since it started. Correct decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny bee firefly Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Do you though.... FOR INSTANCE this time with Doolan, he has 3 rides, 3 zeros, potentially Garrity could have had all of them rides with R/R and scored 9 points. Just my way of thinking anyway We are really talking only 2 rides as garrity would have had sergeants 4th anyway ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wow - 7 pages on a meeting that didn't take place! This is the place for top debating! The reliability of weather forecasting 6 or 7 rider teams - guest v RR and as for predicting the future - fast Freddie was gonna break the track record I don't know why we bother with the meetings!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 We are really talking only 2 rides as garrity would have had sergeants 4th anyway ! What makes you think that with the way Sarjeant is riding at the moment. At the end of the day we can all say this might or happened or that but the rain was the only winner. Now we just have to wait a couple of weeks and hopefully see a good meeting with full teams Wow - 7 pages on a meeting that didn't take place! This is the place for top debating! The reliability of weather forecasting 6 or 7 rider teams - guest v RR and as for predicting the future - fast Freddie was gonna break the track record I don't know why we bother with the meetings!! Lol it did make me laugh as well. Must be expecting a different Freddie than I saw on Fri or at the Banks meeting. PK looks faster at the moment plus Harris on Wolves track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 This forum gets even wierder your moaning about a meeting that didnt take place and riders who didnt race so they couldent get any points anyway and its on page 7. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilty as charged m'lud. Thing is, I can't get into the garden because of the weather, and I've watched the GP and Moto GP recordings half a dozen times. Here's a thought: If everyone 'fesses up to how sad they are to take part in this debate, we could reach 10 pages and submit it to the Guinness Book of Records for the longest pointless discussion about a non-event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 How can putting a side out that has the best chance of winning be tosh ? Now that there's the injured rider replacement facility, it becomes even more important to start off with seven riders and not six You're just the type of most speedway promoters love. Unfortunately, whereas there used to be lots of you, most have woken up and seen the light or simply passed on. Haven't quite worked out this comment! If you mean they love me for spending my hard-earned cash on speedway since 1964, at tracks all over the country, then that I would understand, but if you mean something different . . . . ?

Wolfsbane Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The weather decision was correct as evidenced by what came after 7.30. What's unacceptable, after all this time, is we're still having to put up with uncovered tracks. It appears that promoters would rather inconvenience the supporters than make maximum effort to get meetings on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
