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. So, 4:45 is not part of the day? That's a new one on me. I'll put it very simply. It rained heavily from early evening last night until I went to bed at 11:30. We've had heavy showers on and off since last Wednesday. We also had a couple of showers mid morning and another at around 5pm. Trust me, there's no way the meeting would've gone ahead tonight without 14 riders going round in canoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! You have already been proved wrong by people who live in the Wolverhampton and Midlands area. Hope that helps. 2 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: 4.45 am is not day.

Didn't realise 4.45 wasn't daytime. its been proven by people in the area that you are wrong, again. It's amazing that you would want anyone to believe that whilst the rest of the country has had speedway call offs decimating meetings yet Wolverhampton is the only area that didn't suffer. Plum and prize seem to sum your opinion up totally. But then only you would disagree with people who live in the area. Poole will probably have yet another call off I guess. What will that be 3 or 4 by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hopefully all clubs promotions will now look into the forum as regards future postponements.If they can contact Steve Shovlar he will tell them exactly what the weather will do 48 hrs prior to each and every clubs home matches.He will detail exactly whether any rain will hit any tracks in those 48 hrs.And on this evidence clubs will know 100% whether to postpone or not.So thanks must go to SS for saving speedway a small fortune in the future. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Especially as he would do the right thing and act as guarantor for any losses incurred in the event that his forecast was wrong. 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. not a motocross track now mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrows forecast has changed again to risk of sunshine and showers throughout the day. Wind is good.

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. Definitely not scared of your shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if Shovlar says it's on it must mean it will be off, considering how poor his weather predictions are. You can't brag about a track that's held no action yet anyway.

So you think calling meetings off days in advance is acceptable, when the forecast is reasonably promising? It’s a terrible precedent to set, and one that was unheard of until recently. Two days in advance because there’s a risk of rain? You are having a laugh if you think that’s acceptable. Anyway its dry in Poole with sunny periods with the risk of an occassional shower this morning. No problem. Tomorrow showers in the morning dying out to give a dry late afternoon and evening. Unless the forecast changes there’s no reason why it shouldn’t go ahead. Matt Ford is giving the first 300 kids through the gates a free easter egg. Nice gesture from the club.

A terrible precedent that was set a few years ago when Poole called off a meeting against Lakeside as it would affect their planned team changes. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
