Bryn Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 3pm WEATHER UPDATE: Having puter problems here BUT no weather problems so far and news from the track is that they have had no rain and are going for it! I expect to be at track circa 4 to 4.30pm and will update from there next UNLESS things change before my lift arrives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 WHOOPS SORRY PARDON! MUST remember to put my reading glasses on next time! Quickly looking for Davey's average without them I must have focussed straight away on Poole averages rather than Leicester's! As you say tocha, Davey's current average is 5.40. You should have have gone to Specsavers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks Tocha - was en route to track when phonecall came through and am now back home! For those of you who know the Dartford Tunnel approaches, as University Way was choc-a-bloc we decided to go to Princes roundabout entry and torrential rain had begun to fall as we approached Temple Hill turning and it look widespread. As luck would have it, we were just approaching junction 1A when we got the call. Had some phone calls to make first so thanks for updating this thread. Flaming June!

A ORLOV Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 It's a Friday and Swindon will be needing 4 guests, or 3 plus R/R! Swindon has first call on a couple of the Somerset riders so not 4, but a daft day to have it unless no other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon has first call on a couple of the Somerset riders so not 4, but a daft day to have it unless no other options. Which riders do Swindon have first call on, Grajczonek, Tungate or Wright. Also, remember Plymouth are riding as well. Where does that leave Nielsen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In normal circumstances you may well be correct but bear in mind this is a re-arranged fixture, those at Somerset and Plymouth are not so they still get priority unless they can come to some sort of agreement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, you are correct in this case, strange that Rosco would agree to that date rather than one when most of the riders are available.

hagonshocker Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 If your going to go somewhere with a changed side it may as well be Lakeside as this year they will probably muller us anyway...Davey Watt still useful round there...

Lakeside don't have any dates available when most Swindon riders are available.....that's why the first cancelled meeting between the two at Lakeside is pushed right back to Fri 16th September!

Reliant Robin Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Can they not race on a different night? They can....but obviously don't want to. Unsure if it is still the case, but always used to be that 3 dates had to be offered by staging Promotion. I would imagine if still the case, all 3 of those were Fridays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the last date before the cut-off for the play-offs?? Hope it doesn't rain........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure about that. Both Somerset and Plymouth have reserved dates for play-offs. Somerset are sure to be in them so might a revitalised Plymouth.
