Now 80% and 90% chance of rain in Lynn before 7pm.... its starting to look like they might have got this spot on.

This is one of the reasons i am peed of with the decision to postpone over 24hrs before the match was due to take place.The forecast wasn't too bad yesterday,but as we all know come the day the forecast can be totally different.As you have stated the forecast has changed to 80/90% chance of rain showers.Who knows,the forecast could quite easily have been the other way round this morning and say 10/20% chance of rain.I'm all for calling early,but the day before don't sit right with me,unless of course they had days of rain beforehand that is then understandable.

Incidentally i am 9 miles away as the crow flies and we have had a few very light showers,and 1 heavy-ish one but it is bone dry here.So i think they have got very lucky with the call off at the moment.That is the nature of showers i suppose.

For the first time since i have been driving(36 years)i may choose to miss the re-staging as i can't keep throwing money away like i do for my love of speedway.I have missed meeting's before but not through choice.I have even come straight from hospital on 2 occasions to watch the Stars.I certainly won't be doing that anymore.

I see what your saying Sid. I went for the short answer in my earlier post. i'll try and explain.

My disposable income looks likely to be less this year, as things are going up all over the place. Our heating oil has doubled since last year for example.. Now £1000 to fill it at the moment, also fuel etc..

With there being 3 more meetings this season at the AFA than last, making it 15, i have agreed to attend 10, if things stay as they are now. I'm hoping to squeeze another one in at then end of the season if we get a play off place. We shall see on that one.

So with most meetings spread out , i'll probably miss one of the 2 within 4 days of each other now, as they are so close together, where as i would normally do Ippo and Boro, i may miss one of them now. if i was going to all the meetings, i would agree  with your comment. But as things stand i can't.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand now. That makes perfect sense
