I'd like to think it will be rearranged before October! Trouble is if you rain off early, you should have waited and if you wait and the forecast is right then why did you not rain it off earlier.

according to the fixture list, Poole has no meetings on 15th or 29th June

Its not the rearrangements that cause the problem at the end of the season but the knock on effect it has. It happens every single year . Just look at the play offs last year. People dont go to watch in those crappy october evenings but speedway never learns

The November ones are better than the October ones! :D

Pools Panel Result: Pirates vs Bandits

Home WIN 56-34

If you had a system like this then no need for a rearranged meeting. Yes more in depth calculations wud be needed. Cricket as a solution for rain effected matches with duckworth/lewis.

Only rearrange play off & KO Cup meetings.

Riders not like it tho coz they not get paid. Bugga :lol:

Latest rain forecast. Click the anim on button and you can see direction rain is taking.

Yeah forecast is a lot better now, but when it got rained off at near midday, at that time it was 90% chance of heavy rain at time of meeting! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I am sure the management are gutted that it looks a hasty decision.

I always take that emoji as meaning ' ergh/you're being ridiculous' sort of way. You know when someone says something stupid and you roll your eyes at them. That's how I took it. But if you didn't mean it like that then, my mistake :t:

Can’t believe I am reading it’s off! No rain so far and it seems extremely premature to me. Yes there’s rain coming up from the south west but it could pass to the west of Poole.  I hope it doesn’t but think quite a few fans will turn up at the stadium tonight wondering what the hell is going on if it’s a dry evening.

Rotten luck to Turnip coming all this way at great expense. I wonder if the Poole promotion can treat him when he is next down? Skidder is it possible to bring it up with Danny so he can get a tour of the pits and watch a heat or 2 from centre green? Just a thought.

 

Dont think turnip on the centre green is going to be possible - he will probably take root!!!:party:

ps. Danny Ford explains the early decision in the Echo online.  Plenty of days/dates available to reschedule:t:

In accurate. The rain is to the west of Poole. I am 1 and a half miles from the track and it’s bone dry outside.

However, any fans coming from west of Poole might be put off attending as the rain is not far away. Will Poole get a dowsing? Not 100% sure to be honest as it’s close but running up the country west of Poole. Next hour will say whether we will get heavy rain or not.
