4thbender Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 8 Hours to go and it's pouring. Maybe the sun will come out later. Based on last week's experience, there should have been an announcement by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 It’ll be ok - the BBC weather forecast says no rain today at all… hence I’m at work in shorts and t-shirt with no coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last week's experience, there should have been an announcement by now. Sure last weeks earlier call off was due to riders etc travelling from Ipswich and also to prevent the TV crew from setting up, this week as its Belle Vue they can leave it till 4pm. There is also the fact that they are now getting to the stage of the season where they are going to have to ride in pretty much any conditions, given the fact they have so far crammed 8 home meetings into the first 22 weeks of the season and are now faced with 6 definite home fixtures and possibly 8 with the Play off semi and final in the last 9 weeks of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain due to stop soon and then they would have 4 hours in 20 degree temperatures for it to dry and work on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fina Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 could it just be the Premier Junior League that's been called off and not the entire meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time to sort track out. Even with a delay.  Poole got there track raceable  last week in 1 hour. Sheffield got 4/5 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there are dogs running this afternoon they might only have an hour or so to work on the track, after they've inflated the air fence. Any body know any different - Charlieboy?

PhilTheAce Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 5 hours or so of dry warm weather with 20+ degrees to sort the track. (If that’s the reason)  poole got there track raceable in  1 hour last week.  Yet another poor look for Sheffield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 If they can’t fix track in over 4 hours in middle of summer while it’s warm then that’s terrible. Other tracks can fix a track in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one of clubs Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 What an absolute effing joke. First Kings Lynn, now Sheffield. Wolves are next no doubt. Sheffield IMO are running scared, same with KL. I despair. I do not have the words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
