Game On Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Was always doubtful with the forecast ahead and the downpours we've had the last few days. But they have made the wrong decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 It's looking like the wrong decision at this point based on today's weather so far. A couple of miles from track and no rain since early in the day. It's taken a hammering this week though and if the gypos are still on the car park they might not want the hassle of guarding a much busier car park than last Friday.

Woz01 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 But they have made the wrong decision Have they? How can we possibly know that? Have you seen the track? The amount of rain fall we've had in the last few days it would have been heavily waterlogged. We are one of a few clubs that gives meeting a chance where possible so i guess they were sure it wasnt retrievable. Heavy showers from 7pm according to accuweather too.

mdmc82 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) No rain since this morning and been warm, sunny with blue skies. Lovely night for speedway but I guess it depends how much damage was already done with rain from the last couple of days as it was torrential. That's the problem with early call offs although the bbc never had any rain forecast but some others did. Pity as it seems ages since our last meeting.

CB252 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 They left yesterday by all accounts. Given the state of the place last Friday they'll need a while to clear all the rubbish and excrement up before they let people back on to some parts of the car park.

Woz01 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Had my dinner look out the window and my garden is soaking wet again and still raining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 But they have made the wrong decision It's never the wrong decision at the time we make it - but occasionally hindsight may make it seem so..... No promoter postpones a meeting willingly, not only do we incur costs for today but also have to find a suitable re-staging date. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
