Coventry V Swindon - Wednesday 2nd September


Recommended Posts

I would imagine the track should be able to cope with a shower as its light rain at the moment. Imagine it won't have been watered much with showers forecast

No more rain is forecast after this

It is getting heavier 😕

Problem is even though though the sun is trying to come out, the rain isn't letting up.

With Swindon already riding Monday and Coventry already riding Wednesday, I think if this is off then it may be ran after the cut off date as no free dates available.

Thanks. Typical isn't it not long before a meeting.

It's now more of a drizzle.

I would say this means Coventry will have no home advantage now but we never do anyway.

This type of set up guarantees this type of shower... but hard to predict when/where, and they can do lots of track damage in short time Windows..

Our riders aren't fans of a wet track, could swing in Swindon (minus Troy's) favour

Have you not seen previous meetings v Swindon on a wet/heavy track. They usually hate it more than anyone. See last years semi final.

it depends how wet. Joonas and Bomber were on maximum vs Poole until it got too wet. Garrity doesn't give a crap, his issue that was touching the tapes then getting a gate 2.

 

The same team (pretty much) revelled in the wet at Lakeside last year when it rained for 30 minutes about an hour before the start.

That was two different teams though with the exception of a handful of riders.

 

Sun is now back out. This weather really is random.

Fantastic gesture of Mick Horton to pay 10 quid to the attending few to attend. Whoops read it wrong again, he seems to think I will pay 10 quid to come inside a massively wet stadium which could go on till midnight (now that the curfew scenario was just a smoke screen)

With second rate guest riders. Come Neil Watson, let's hear you bleat !!!
