I have travelled some miles in my time to see meetings rained off , but that must be hard to beat!

Sorry you had a wasted journey , was brilliant sunshine all week up until ten minutes before the tapes were due to go up . Nobody could really believe how hard it came down , we stayed for a few pints and within an hour the track could have probably held racing , bit too late though . Hope you can manage back one day and actually get to see some racing on our fantastic track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Once a meeting at Craven Park Hull in 1999 was rained off, I should say 'monsooned off'. As I drove into CP car park you know those videos of folk on a Niagra Falls boat trip and they ride under a wall of water, it was just like that. 20-odd year ago rain offs apart, I also recall in Scunny's CL days, the fixtures fell, CL, KOC, rain off replay?, that Plymouth visited 2 or maybe even 3 consecutive weeks. Now compared to Glasgow Scunny is relatively 'just up the road' but, each time half or dozen or more Plymouth fans turned up wearing team caps, most with 'red devil' capes. Good stuff....

Once traveled from Workington on a bank holiday to Oxford in morning then Swindon in the evening both called off around start time due to massive rain showers !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon the heavens opened! Did fill my Tennents up almost quicker than I could drink it! Talked to some very friendly people & had more drinks in the bar before getting train back to city centre. Gutted I didn’t see any speedway but will make the effort to go back once I’ve dried out!! Lol……Karma. My wife and I were in Devon for the rained off Plymouth/Glasgow meeting but at least we hadn’t travelled specifically to attend. Feel for you Redflag but don’t let it put you off….do please make a return visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherborne Green Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Watching your team away is great but rain is a b—-er. As a family we have travelled to watch Poole at Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Edinburgh only to be rained off. However most away matches have been fine. Never the less it never stopped us travelling. Don’t do it now as age creeps up but would not have missed it. Edited July 3, 2021 by Sherborne Green 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redflag Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Could any Glasgow fans tell me if ticket refunds automatically happen or do I have to apply for a refund through the ticket company? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance We're in new ground for this kind of thing . We had tickets for Berwick v Glasgow last Saturday, which was rained off , and we got refunded by the Tuesday without having to do anything . I'm sure Glasgow will be the same , just keep an eye on your bank account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I'd be very very disappointed if this didn't just happen automatically. Truthfully I was a wee bit pleasantly surprised how quickly and uneventful the Berwick refund was. This is no diss on Berwick, more on refunds in general. My partner and I booked a Cardiff city centre chain hotel two years ago for the GP last year and we're still waiting on a refund, over a year since applying for it. Truth be told it was actually through a booking agent, unbeknownst to us. Apparently based in Spain, and after Brexit, well who the hell is going to force them to pay up? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Was announced last night whilst leaving that the ticket purchase will be refunded to your payment source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
