Gemini Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Its off. Good. Sensible decision 'cos I can stay in now and watch Corrie. Must be hard being a promoter on days like this ~ try to get the match on like Leicester and then have the few hundred brave souls who have turned up standing around in the cold and wet before calling it off at 8pm, or cancel early enough to stop fans travelling. Thank you Coventry. ......CB252.......Should re-stage this tomorrow. Decent forecast and all riders here ahead of Wednesday's meeting at Lynn. Now that's a good idea but would there be enough time to organise everything and get the track fit for racing after all the rain that's expected tonight? I wouldn't have thought it would be that simple. How to get a picture on here? Go into My Profile ~ Edit Profile ~ Photo.

Shale Searcher Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Priceless! Yea, good nails are expensive, think I'll try "No More Nails" in a tube!! But how do you add a picture to a topic....? I have seen one or two, or is it only a select few that can do it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Sorry, didn't make myself clear, a picture into an actual post... Ah.....now that's strange because that was my first thought but then I deleted my post and tried again. We're not supposed to put pictures on here because of bandwidth but you can always put it elsewhere like Facebook etc., and then give the link to it.

CB252 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Good thing they didn't as had heavy rain at 7pm tonight Few miles from the stadium and barely had a drop all day. Looking outside now the ground is bone dry. Would have been ok I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Always one of my favourites because of his style of riding. One of my favourites too Gem and thought he was unfairly treated by John Berry at Ipswich after his 1978 season, before he moved on to Blackbird Road. Nice clip of him having a little battle with Jacko on the old Mildenhall track in 1989 which you may have seen before, but captures Cookies' style, and battling qualities well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DtFiPhG5u4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
