mikebv Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 When the track is wet and grippy the first half a dozen or so races are pretty much from the gate.. Fast. (In fact too fast).. Let's hope for no rain and the only water applied is by the track staff who do a great job of the track prep.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Typical been dry all day and started pouring down at 6.50. Track wet now and looks like rain in for another hour at least. Would rather they called it off then try and start in these conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 yeah track looks very wet, but at least this track normally has dirt on it, a lot of them would be knackered because the rain on the slick surface would make it impossible.

Baldyman Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Total rubbish at a rubbish track last week in the sunshine, this week it's rained off when some proper speedway at a proper track is to be on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 This will sum up a lot of clubs seasons over the next month or two, dry warm weather and no speedway, then when meetings finally come around it will rain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 16 hours ago, Fred Flange said: It's always interesting to hear what some people rate as 'wasn't that great' speedway but I'll be happy if tonight's meeting is only half as good as the Swindon meeting (only 3 or 4 great races instead of 7 or 8). That's the mystery of perception. Maybe if I was a Belle Vue fan I'd have a different opinion but as a neutral I want to see competitive action where you never know what might happen. It was all to predictable for me e.g. Smith made the start in one race but it was obvious he'd be passed. The couple where Batchelor was in front were ok and Bewley is good to watch at NSS. It was a shame Swindon, and Morris in particular, were poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yet you say the Leicester / Poole clash wasn't "too bad"?......You're right , perception can be a mystery Edited July 17, 2018 by WestGorton1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Good you see that the club have posted this message on Facebook. A MESSAGE FROM THE CLUB Belle Vue Speedway wishes to thank all the supporters who turned out last night for the Rentruck Aces’ fixtures against Somerset, which was unfortunately postponed due to heavy rain. We monitored many weather forecasts and the vast majority predicted only light showers during the evening and even then they did not agree when those showers would arrive. It was for that reason, and as we had the BT cameras with us, that we decided to run the meeting however when the actual rain did arrive it was far heavier and more prolonged than the forecasts. We therefore had no other option than to postpone. We really appreciate the commitment of all our supporters and would like to thank those that waited patiently in both stands. We look forward to seeing you all again on Wednesday, July 25 for our local derby against Wolverhampton and again on July 28 for the Summer Speed Saturday featuring Round 5 of the British Youth Championships. The Management Team That's the sort of PR that makes fans feel valued and appreciated. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
