iris123 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Is it going to be a case of batten down the hatches and just try to get through without too many losses? Not only do we have the Euro Football finals in june/july,but the Olympics in august and now NASA are predicting terrible weather for april + may!!!! At least march should be relatively mild,so a good start at least to the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least march should be relatively mild,so a good start at least to the season Chances are there will be a couple of promotions who put out a statement saying that unless crowds improve they will close down, somewhere along the line there will be a fixture backlog because of the weather. Probably an injury crisis and a shortage of riders causing the usual complaints about guests. Much like every other season really. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I would love to know how anyone can have any idea what the weather will be doing in two months time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on German tv I saw lots of flooding in England.Did you miss that Ray?Didn't look like good weather to me.And the US+A got hit by very harsh weather on the news.But I get the point with two months ahead,half the time they can't predict the weather two days ahead......

cityrebel Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 In recent years every season seems the same. How some tracks survive on such low crowds never ceases to amaze me! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I thought one of the most interesting comments from last Sunday's fans forum were the very robust statements from Buster to the effect that there were no clubs in financial difficulties. Someone picked him up on this and turned to Rob Godfrey who was sitting next to Buster and reminded Rob that he said Scunny might close midway through last season. In effect Rob's answer was 'I was a bit pissed off at the time' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least march should be relatively mild,so a good start at least to the season Wow really? Hardly rocket science. The weather in April is always (almost anyway) terrible, that is why there is an expression called April weather. Terrible weather in May is slightly less guaranteed but hardly uncommon.

iris123 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) We have April showers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_showers_(weather) But to be honest I haven't really experienced this for years now.The weather has changed quite a bit since I was a kid.I doubt NASA are predicting 'normal' April weather though........ Not really much of a headline....NASA predict normal weather for April!!!! Edited March 23, 2016 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
