EASTBOURNE V NEWCASTLE 22nd May


Recommended Posts

I could not believe it was cancelled we had a very light shower at 7.00am   Sunshine at 11.00 then an even lighter shower at 12.00 then a nice Sunny afternoon and no further rain since.

Particularly disappointing as I had 4 people travel from Waterlooville for the match.   

AND I LIVE THREE MILES AS THE CROW FLIES FROM THE TRACK.

It's bizarre!

So I hope after seeing the photos and from what Ian said, you will accept that living 3 miles away and making judgements on meetings being on is not a good opportunity to comment. Being at the track, and seeing it is usually the best position to be in. I say that as a former Newcastle Promoter, and conflicting stories about whether it is on or isn't on is unsettling for many fans and their arrangements

Luckily the meeting was called off fairly early, but the Newcastle riders had nearly made it and had to turn around after going over the Dartford Bridge.  From their photos to me , it would seem like it was raining quite heavy there.

You are taking my first words out of context I had seen the photos and could not believe the weather could be so different in a short distance.   It was an expression not a judgement.
