Very ropey , the forecasts have been getting worse with each day that passes . Will be pleasantly surprised if these meetings go ahead . And if your looking for someone to blame try dontforgetthefueltapsbrv and his bloody rain dance !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Obviously despite me missing out I would prefer it to be a mild dry day with a bumper crowd similar to last years finals so that the club has a big financial boost to its coffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well I’ve finally found a good one after a thorough search that predicts dry days for Thursday and Friday.. https://m.accuweather.com/en/gb/ipswich/ip4-2/weather-forecast/330938 im going to ignore the more reliable Met Office and BBC forecasts and whole heartedly believe this one instead 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 It's certainly not looking good weather wise for either of these meetings to go ahead on Friday, I think our best chance to see some speedway this weekend is at Peterborough on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainlesssteelride Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Still got weeks of this rubbish weather yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Well I’ve told the kids not to worry because I’ve come up with a plan B. Byron burger and then Cinema to watch Duck Duck Goose. I shouldn’t have mentioned it to them though cos they’ve now joined in with Taps’ “Chief pi$$ing down” rain dance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainlesssteelride Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 That's a good idea, let's all go for a burger. I'm up for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can say that for certain, even the professionals struggle to get it right from day to day let alone week to week. Everything could settle down next week and be dry for a month or we could have to wait until May for some settled weather. It's a complete lottery.

89buttons Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 It’s a real shame if the weather wrecks the double header this Friday! I’ll be at Foxhall whatever if there’s a chance it’s on but I won’t be travelling away if the forecast is still so poor! Let’s just hope it changes and blows out before Friday!!

Stainlesssteelride Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Surely it would be a bit of a give away when I'm there? And you may be very disappointed. Edited March 28, 2018 by Stainlesssteelride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not often disappointed (and certainly dont dwell on it) Im even over the cup final now! Look for the positive in the situation/person is my policy. Make the best and move on - lifes too short.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Lets hope its on or it could be June before its rearranged if we want to use a Thursday We have 2 reseved dates in April - 12th and 19th but Swindon now have fixtures on both those nights (including rearranged Leicester involving Danny) so Morris Ellis Zack W unavailable Next free date is May 10th which is not reserved in Ipswich list but is in Swindon list so same unavailibilty could apply (plus Lakeside due in cup on 3rd anyway so would you want same team 2 weeks running) So much for fixed race nights for each league.....

Stainlesssteelride Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Letting swindon use Thursdays was not the best idea. For them it helps I suppose, but isn't Thursday an off night in the premier, as every other club is a Monday or Wednesday. So tough dog dung on swindon I say.
