kevin bass Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) I dunno how to copy the post but it said summit like " just to compound the weather situation the power supply to stadium had been cut (12.05) and still not restored" That was posted at 16.08 i think.

Nope, totally fake as i saw rob with his spade dig that hole,,to be honest this is not about calling the meeting off, its more of a chance to have a pop at Rob and Scunny,,, why does it matter to someone in ipswich, lakeside, leciester,? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 You can just see it can't you?,,, Guy rocks up to open the yard, goes into the cabin to make a nice cuppa before getting on with stuff. The kettle doesn't work, goes to the fridge to find the milk all lumpy,,, tries to phone for help but the landlines deed. No wifi and doesn't want to use tha own mobile data () to check the weather, so looks out the window instead,,, it doesn't just rain, it pours.

scunny1 Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Jeez ,let's flog a call off to death. 1) Crappy weather forecast for evening. 2) Power supply issues. 3 Hole in road is just off the public highway B1430, some 200yds from the EWR . The EWR can be seen in the background of the Twitter photo, but the land in between is private land which Rob has no influence of. Clearly contractors doing repairs with their tape and fencing around hole. Google maps is useful. 4) Some people just want to make waves for Rob Godfrey. I cannot see many promotors wanting to take up the poisoned chalice of Chairman/Chairwoman post. 5) Some people you just cannot help, even when you give valid info. 6) Track had from 10.15pm until the following morning to dry out for the next meeting. 7 R.G runs the country, Boris and Rishi are doing a good job, the illegals crossing the Channel are welcome, inflation is a blip and Putin is misunderstood!!! 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said,,, a suppose its ok to show a bit of sympathy for the folk that unfortunately travelled to the gig. Maybe they might just consider checking first in future and can just put it down to experience? I believe Boris was correct when he said, 'it's about taking personal responsibility',,, can't say I believe too much else about what that lot from down there say tho.

Diamondboy Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 It was called off at lunchtime. It was posted on various media. If folks don’t check before they set off/on there way then tough. Does the promotion have to ring everyone up that ‘might’ be on their way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
