So aside from a few odd drops it looks like it is staying dry. PS how pissed off will Eurosport be if it rains in Wolverhampton?

Trees Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 The promoters have to call off now, nobody can afford to run with a dodgy forecast, promoters, fans or riders ..... it's how it is ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINYS Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Wonder if Lynn,s home fixture against Peterboro on 1st September will be called off in the next few days in case it might rain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy forecast and Iive on Eurosport calling off a no brainer - but if Lynn don’t stage a tv meeting this season and take hit on gate receipts they definitely shouldn’t get a full cut of the tv money if there is any payment that is .

Will do the same with the Wolves meeting but will be cracking the gin out now to make the racing look better. Don't like little tight tracks. Speedway on Sky Go on the lap top,and Man Utd on the box for me.Don't want to be going to bed too late.Getting old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s obvious then 50% chance of showers -Live on Eurosport = poor crowd or very poor crowd- so call it off protect the clubs finances run without tv and get a bigger crowd we all no that’s what it’s all about .

The people to blame for tonight’s call off are not the Stars management. The hopeless weather forecasters are to blame. Last night they said heavy rain was expected at Lynn this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should know by now don,t always believe the forecasters, as far as i am concerned Buster has made a bad call so it's down to him.

Popular Post Bagpuss Posted August 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 These kind of dodgy call offs won't stop while promoters can carry on making their own decisions as they see fit without some kind of adjudication from the governing body. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
