tyretrax Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Looks like too much Buckfast has affected your optic nerve if you reckon that's just a puddle Or is it just a normal case of Weegie paranoia towards the reigning PL Champs? What would you call it? For your information I have never even handled a bottle of Buckfast never mind tasted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 For all those who were sceptical about this match being postponed due to a waterlogged track, take a look at this picture on the Monarchs Official website:- http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/news-centre/article/2016-06-24/washed-away-again No doubt some will claim track photographer Ron MacNeill has doctored the image No puddles on the track at 7:30.

Gazc Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 No puddles on the track at 7:30. I'm sure I mentioned that somewhere George in an earlier post but they chose to ignore it. Must have wrote it in Chinese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was down to ride in the declared teams the plot thickens I'm sure Stewart will be aware off this if true. Looks like too much Buckfast has affected your optic nerve if you reckon that's just a puddle Or is it just a normal case of Weegie paranoia towards the reigning PL Champs? Don't sell Buckfast through an optic just drink by the neck tasty tipple on your day off beats the east coast methadone brigade any day off the week.

Exactly. Truth is no surface water at 7:30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ok boys, I was at the track when the call off was made and it was no surprise at all. The two afternoon downpours (1 was more of a monsoon) and the weather forecast made the decision easy. Sadly, the forecast rain changed its mind and the evening was dry....... No way of knowing that would happen. The damage was already done tho' and I'm afraid promoters are damned if they do and damned if they don't. I hope you have better weather on Wednesday but, as I said on your thread, you'll be ok as you will have tv cameras to prove it Good luck as I am really looking forward to it....... C ya!

You live in Scotland....... Pouring rain wets things, including speedway tracks Does there have to be surface water for it to be completely sodden below?

While I am not questioning that you had rain in the afternoon,the forecast I looked at said there would be no rain after 6pm which was correct.It is a damned if you do and damned if you don't nowadays,but fans will will not take a chance these days because of these decisions. yr.no is the site I use which is Norwegian but seems to be more accurate than BBC and other British sites.Its no good Promoters moaning about low attendances when they make erratic decisions when to call matches off.

baba Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Tbf if anybody was in the paisley area on Saturday we had a tropical type storm around 5 oclock and it flooded many many streets in less than 30 mins. If the meeting went ahead it may have been a non racing event. We don't want to risk riders in dodgy conditions and neither do Edinburgh. Wednesdays meeting should be a cracker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the problem, when do you call it off? Early to save people travelling - last minute when fans are queuing at the gate - after a few non-event wobbly races or a few crashes - damned either way!!!I definitely don't want to watch "non-event speedway" and I definitely don't want to see riders injured This problem will remain until we all have roofed stadiums........... Or the damned rain stops Edited June 28, 2016 by Gr8scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
