No excuses for not getting the track ready seeing as you are such an expert on track prep and weather conditions. Fingers crossed fans get to finally see some racing! Said all belong it will be on. No early call offs like Wolves today when it has been dry all day with a brisk wind. Very poor from the Wolves promotion. First crying off when Poole were due and now doing the same against Belle Vue. One would have thought they are running scared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSL84 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Why is it poor to call todays meeting off? When its rained all day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Has it? Hasn’t shown it on the rain radar. Went either side of the midlands. But back to what is important. Some racing at Poole on Wednesday. Looks 90% chance now of it going ahead. No rain forecast tomorrow as Skidder has already said and only the risk of showers Wednesday morning. That track might need watering before the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So right call Well it is raining now. There’s a very thin line of showers coming through which will last 20-30 mins. But don’t fib about it raining all day in Wolverhampton, because that’s just not true, is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the reasoning behind your ‘fib’ and ‘running scared’ accusations? It’s pi$$ed down for four days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would think Poole have had run several successful meetings by now, how many call offs Steve?? Tho with the motocross track you have its no surprise. Still no reply to the reason why 100% of all meetings were off today tho, no surprise. Apparently Wolves can do the impossible. It's given me a titter tho.

But back to what is important. Yes, back to what is important. Rain all night and all morning and more rain tonight. Absolutely correct call. Don't you love it when someone the other side of the country tells the locals what the weather is today. I'm sure you must be related to Michael Fish. At least it's giving the forum some light relief tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hahaha! People actually believe you have to live in a place to know what the weather is actually doing. Doyou know at this very moment theres a small shower slightly north of Long Beach, California. I am not there but know this is the case due to the weather radar online. Its called technology and it’s a wonderful thing. Lets you know whats happening around the world at this precise moment. All from your own living room. That’s how I know it was dry in Wolverhampton until a thin line of showers came through earlier this evening. And there’s a line of very heavy rain crossing Lyme Bay in Dorset as I type this. I am not in Lyme Bay, but guess what? I know it’s there! Remarkable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandking072 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 On my hour long walk to work at 4:50 (to Wolverhampton) this morning, the contents of approximately 1400 showers emptied themselves over me on said walk. I was convinced this was rain as it was so wet. However, after consulting with a wonderful thing called technology, this assured me that in fact, this was not the case & I was clearly mistaken. Hope that clears things up. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it had been dry all day, not night. There hasn’t been enough rain to call a meeting off. I believe once BV had called off this morning, riders were informed and those outside the UK remained there. Just an opinion of course. Promotions are being over cautious. Calling meetings off two days in advance because there’s a risk of rain is getting ridiculous. Kings Lynn and Somerset calling off 48 hours before tapes up? Might be wet now but 48 hours of drying winds is a long time. If Poole call off in the morning I would say the same.
