Steve55 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 The last time this happened was the Ipswich meeting (another Thursday home track) although the track was apparently ok, and from where I was it looked fine, the rain which was forecast to have abated by then, continued as "light drizzle" resulting in the meeting not going ahead due to visibility issues for the riders. The BBC forecast I saw this morning showed rain over South Yorkshire all day, but the forecaster did say there would would be dry spells during parts of the day. Think the promotion are having a bit of a gamble due to the rain - off situation looking like it is going to present issues further along the line. Can't blame them really.

Â yes the meeting was abandoned due to visibility issues and if there is light drizzle tonight around start time, whats changed.surely after all this rain over last 24 hours+ the track will be difficult at best so not sure that i want to see f.t.g every race.

Steve55 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Me neither, not after what I've been watching for the last few weeks. I'm approx 5 miles from track and it's been raining pretty much continuously all day here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just sod's law that the weather has been like it is when we're hosting a fellow Thursday club. Thunderstorms at 6.45 after days of sunshine the promotion can't do anything about of course, it's just frustrating when they keep saying "definitely on" when most parts of Sheffield have had rain for 36 hours solid and it doesn't look like changing in the next few hours.
