They didnât change the Poole vs Ipswich meetings round when rain intervened. A massive advantage now for Wolves having the 2nd leg at home. Why wait until October every season to have the play offs as do Sweden & Poland wait till then. No they donât. Hope the Robins win but with both sides having flakey riders at times I give Wolves strength at reserve the crucial difference. Can we now agree the following :- 1. Swindon have a "massive advantage" by hosting the 2nd leg. 2. If Wolves progress to the final, it will be a huge backs to the wall performance against all the odds, especially as Swindon finished above them in the table and nearly topped the league ? 3. If Swindon fail they will have "massively" underperformed and let themselves down ? Of course everyone is expecting Swindon to progress because of their "massive advantage" aren't they ?  1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Call me wolfie said: How about someone actually looks at the forecast and schedules the meetings for dry days, instead of hoping the forecast will change Sounds like a plan.

Mike.Butler Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 in my (recent painful) experience the 'forecast' one day proves far from accurate 24 hours later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Do we have to use Thursdays, as long as itâs not affecting riders whatâs the real problem with riding it on any day, preferably when the forecast shows it as ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Why doesn't a promotor phone Berwick and say can we hire your track covers. I know it would mean a bit of forward thinking but stranger things have happened. Admittedly it wouldn't have helped tonight, but if rain was forecast in the days leading upto the meeting and day of meeting was forecast to be dry they could help getting it on.

A ORLOV Posted October 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Rain is predicted from 8 tonight so if correct will the meeting go ahead or not. With a ten point lead and the Robins showing last night that they can cope with a wet track better than the Wolves riders I can only see us going through to meet Ipswich in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 As a travelling Wolves fan I think it would be best if Swindon rode at home to Ipswich in the 1st leg of the final tonight. We could then drive to Cricklade, have a few beers, turn around and head home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can they race this if postponed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Checked the met office weather radar & it looks like the rain will miss us today - I sincerely hope that proves to be right.

Â https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcntr93j0 I hope rain hits and levels up the tie. Take away any home advantage. Either way I canât see Swindon blowing a 10 point lead, letâs face it they arenât Poole. We also all know about both clubs in the play offs winning their away legs. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met office which live info has 90% chance of rain at 6 & 50% chance of light rain at 7. The radar keeps moving the rain around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Rain is close. Looks like the track could be wet again but earlier than last night allowing time to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radar has just been updated and Blunsdon has just dodged a bullet with a heavy shower from the north of Swindon to Gloucester. There are many heavy rain showers over South Wales. Hopefully they wonât make their way along the M4 corridor and we can watch some decent racing after the horrors of last night.
