Chris116 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Sadly the weather could mean this meeting is postponed. The start time has been moved to 5pm in the hope that the weather improves during the day. Good luck to both teams with a safe, exciting meeting.

Racin Jason 72 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I’m hoping to travel up from Ipswich. Could a kind soul local to Rye house tell me what is the current weather situation is please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Looking at the Radar via the met office that area is getting some pretty heavy rain right now, but whilst the weather front keeps going North West there is a chance they might only catch the edge of it, if it starts moving more Eastwards then no chance will the track be recoverable, It will be too flooded and what with the river being close by I would guess the water table is not on that locations side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is weather reports now, is their anyone near to the track that can give us an update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 On twitter it says the track is fine but I bet if this was supposed to be at 2pm It would be off, lets hope they can make it "raceable" by 5pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Too far for me to risk going but hope it’s on and it’s a good meeting with no injuries. Fingers crossed we can make that final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Just spent 2 hrs and done 12 quid in petrol going to Rye after checking it was still on before i went,,There were others pulling in to the car park at the time i was there,,all an noyed with the promotion for not calling it off earlier ,,This would not of happened under Len Silvers tenure ,,,,Speedway promoters have no consideration these days for the fans is it any wonder Speedway is dying on its ar----e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 To be fair Waco, it was called around three hours before start time, I don't know what more could have been done, it was only that last bit of heavy rain that killed it, had it gone say 30 miles East of the track, they probably would have got away with it, end of the day though, these meetings have got to be raced and we have two weekends left now, one more wet weekend and these are not going to get done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 How do you make that 3 hours Marko ,,it was still on when i left home a 2-25pm and it had virtually stopped raining by the time i arrived at the track,,many others there i talked to some saying they will not be coming again.....
