Crazy robin Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Can see it being very close with Hans cleaning up as a 2nd string. Will take any home win to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milney Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 This is unreal. The forecast has changed from the apocalypse to just good old fashioned rain, why the hell would they not want to make a call at midday or later, considering its now meant to be easing off from the afternoon? Speedway baffles me, it really does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Despite this meeting needing to be run before the playoff deadline when you look at the expected heavy rain between 2 and 5 this is probably a sensible early decision. Just need the new date asap. Edited August 13, 2015 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonHWeiner Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 This is a difficult call. Locals will always prefer a later decision but people travelling any distance would rather avoid a wasted journey. We were due to travel over from Kent for the day but I decided to go into work instead, once I saw the weather! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Its always easy to be critical in these situations and I am in favour of early call offs but this one seems a little premature. Met office might be predicting rain but last night they were also predicting a deluge and that just hasnt happened. What's worse XC weather and metcheck are not predicting the same amount of rain. Would it have been so damaging to wait until lunch time when the morning rain could have been assessed and updated predictions viewed ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialOne Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Do Swindon only run on a Thursday or are they able to restage fixtures on other days? Not many weeks left now 3/9 is currently reserved day before the return at your place so would imagine that is the most obvious date.

Woz01 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Cheaper that's all that matters with Horton Is having a guest cheaper? Not sure about that. You pay for an extra rider to turn up for a start. Edited August 13, 2015 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Do Swindon only run on a Thursday or are they able to restage fixtures on other days? Not many weeks left now Can run on monday or friday, but fri could have issues with our d/u riders. Have used my high tech weather forecast system and it is going to p down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) 3/9 is currently reserved day before the return at your place so would imagine that is the most obvious date. Coventry would be without King, Robson & possibly Garrity on the 3rd so would be silly to agree to that date (can still see it happening though)Swindon would be at full strength Can run on monday or friday, but fri could have issues with our d/u riders.

SCB Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Coventry would be without King, Robson & possibly Garrity on the 3rd so would be silly to agree to that date (can still see it happening though) Swindon would be at full strength Sheffield don't have a meeting so we'd be ok that day. Robson will hopefully be gone by then! But you're right, we'd have no Danny King. The thing is, this meeting is not anywhere near as important for us as it is for Swindon. We don't need the points, there no guarantee we'd get points even. So what is in it for us to rush to re-arranging it? Just thinking back to 2010 when Swindon screwed us over calling off a meeting weeks before the play-off cut-off but we unable to re-stage it until after the cut-off. Hopefully a bit of Karma comes into play here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a bit of Karma comes into play here! You do make a good point. We don't need the points to finish in the play offs. Could be a bit of a nervy end for Swindon if the meeting does get rearranged for 3rd as if the meetings against Swindon on the 3rd & 4th were to get rained off, there would be no more dates to restage them before cut off date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 24th is another option as Monday is the normal alternative to Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 24th is another option as Monday is the normal alternative to Thursday. Would be a good option. Both teams should be at full strength (if no injuries) and gives more time before play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
