Panthers V Rye House Followed By Panthers V Workington 4/9/2016 @2.30pm


Recommended Posts

Last night rye and eastbourne attempted to run against an atrocious weather forecast. Both ended up with late call offs with people inside the stadium. Sometimes an early call off benefits everyone. I can't comment on todays track conditions at the showground, but with a dry day expected it's dissapointing that the meeting is off.

What's the weather like today?

 

It's overcast now (hour on from previous post) and not very nice tbh. Met Office says no rain but if you didn't know that you then you'd probably think rain was a distinct possibility.

Is there any evidence to suggest Bjerre wouldn't have been back in time, or does it just fit the agenda for the couple of people who are suggesting that Ged has called this off for any reason apart from the weather ?

That would be people 2 and 2 together. Honestly, then fans that the club are picking up from other teams currently is immense, good to see fans taking a liking to our club.

none whatsoever - just a bit of mischievious speculation.... wink

It's done now and it's yesterday's news.. we still have 2 cracking meetings to look forward to...maybe this week.. hopefully as single meetings.

perhaps this is more on the mark.

 

If 2 new single dates have/can be agreed then this surely would be much better financially than a double header...

With all the technology available these days there could be an instant end to any speculation by just putting a couple of photos of the track on social media. Jayne did this recently to show the Buxton track under water as proof of why their recent meeting couldn't take place.

Not necessarily because I know a lot of people who were heading over to Peterborough this afternoon that don't go very often, us included. I think it would have been a bumper attendance today that would have covered any loss in the usual admission fee.

So, Rye House now have six meeting to fit in before the deadline, two at home (one already arranged on an off-race night) and four away. Plus the PLKOC Semi Finals against Newcastle

 

This after a period when the Rockets didn't race for what seemed like a month (one home PL meeting between 26 June and 12 August, plus no completed away PL match until 24 June?!).

 

I had intended attending both the Saturday match at home to the Scorpions and the away fixture at the EoES. If these are now arranged mid-week, I can't see my self attending either. OK, only one person, but I am sure that I am not alone in holding the same viewpoint and agree with Gemini's comment that today could have been a bumper attendance at the Showground which will not now be replicated. I for one will think twice before committing to an 180 mile round trip along the A14 and up the A1.
