A ORLOV Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Wolves visit the Abbey this thursday with one change in the team, Steve Worrall in place of Kyle Howarth. Swindon have their normal team. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2652 The Robins should win this meeting but I can see Wolves possibly getting one point.

Beowulf Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Wolves visit the Abbey this thursday with one change in the team, Steve Worrall in place of Kyle Howarth. Swindon have their normal team. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2652 The Robins should win this meeting but I can see Wolves possibly getting one point. With only one meeting under our belts, there is no form guide to refer to. I tend to agree with your view and would be pleased with a point.

Shale Searcher Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 What's the local weather saying? Its showing rain most of the afternoon on the local site ? Chance of heavy, thundery showers, possibly getting organised into longer spells of rain early afternoon.. So, call it off now, save people leaving their houses at 6.30pm and wasting 1 hour of their lives.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Another episode in our bi-annual Abbey butt kicking is the most likely outcome methinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van wolfswinkel Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Drizzle and bloody chilly...more rain forecast for 6 o'clock...personally I wouldn't risk it if I was travelling from The Black Country..hopefully there weren't too many west-country Roobins fans wasting time and money on Monday, with meeting being called off 90 minutes before.

A ORLOV Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Meeting OFF To be restaged next thurs 14th. Next year they should start the season in May. Edited April 7, 2016 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, call it off now, save people leaving their houses at 6.30pm and wasting 1 hour of their lives.. Well, blow me down!!! The above post I made was meant to be a sarcastic one!!!!! The weather is improving this afternoon, chance of thundery showers, but risk recedes after 4pm, even less chance of any rain this evening after 5pm... Another meeting called off prematurely.. As a fan, i would stop planning any speedway meetings into my diary now completely, and just go if the meeting is definately on, and I hadn't planned anything else. If any other events that crop up on the same evening as a speedway meeting, I'd plan that in instead, knowing that planning a speedway meeting into my diary, is just to iffy.... British Speedway meetings are now less likely to go ahead in dodgy weather than cricket!!!!! Edited April 7, 2016 by Shale Searcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why race in wet conditions in front of a small crowd when there is a spare Thursday the very next week? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Speedway meetings are now less likely to go ahead in dodgy weather than cricket!!!!! When the new Blunsdon stadium with roof is constructed will mean no more rain-off fears. Perhaps should just have speedway in May/June/July/August/ September, it seems half the dates in these months are race-free Thursdays anyway. September and even October are normally better than April, although last year April has some great weather. No meetings planned for September at Blunsdon, although Easter was colder than Christmas. The only definite meeting for me is The Cardiff GP. Have to feel sorry for speedway fans wasting their money travelling to rain-offs, and as a cricket fan as well I've seen a few of them.

A ORLOV Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Would rather have an early call off rather than wait all day, get to the track and the meeting is cancelled. Also some of the riders travel a long way, anything up to 3 hrs to be at the track by about 6, longer if any Wolves rider lives abroad. With the call off I can now do a shift of pole dancing tonight. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the Polish dancing in the Borough of Swindonia? or is it in Foxies Gentlemen's Club Theatre Square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
