Steve0 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Hmmmm! So the whole spectacle of 2 meetings in one night has now gone - on a weather forecast! Call me a cynic but this is now on Coventry's normal race night and gives certain riders more time to recover from injuries! The call off may well turn out to be correct but I think this should only be done on the day of a meeting. Another nail in the speedway coffin?

They say it can't be called off on the day Agree though it now gives Newman, Janowski and Garrity more time to recover. However it also means more time for riders to pick up injuries before Friday.

thecoombdog Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hardly a battering when the track when Coventry were refusing to ride. I recall us giving Swindon a great battering home & away in last years semi 😉 Yeah and every Swindon fan was over that about 2 seconds after the meeting because we were beat by the better team. You seriously need to get over that night in June but I have no doubt that it will form part of your reasons for you not winning the league this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 The forecast for Coventry on monday is rain all day. The forecast for BV is drizzle from 1pm and rain from 5pm, so also likely to be cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously need to get over that night in June but I have no doubt that it will form part of your reasons for you not winning the league this year. And yet it's fans of other teams that bring it in to everything. Not at all. I'm not expecting Coventry, Swindon or Belle Vue to win the league. Poole look the stand out team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
