Noelinho Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 The Ben Fund has to be today - there are no other fixtures, unless we get through to the final, or there’s something else arranged that hasn’t been announced (I’d like to see us arrange a two-legged tie with Edinburgh, given the circumstances, but I doubt it’ll happen). Current forecast is 0.3mm of rain per hour from 6pm, which is less than was forecast. That wouldn’t be an issue in summer but will cause more problems today. I think the track should be OK, but it’ll be tricky for the riders. It significantly reduces the home track advantage as it’ll be very different to what we have been riding on for months.

Noelinho Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 If there is a rain off, it would normally be re-arranged for Friday, but the current forecast for Friday is bad. Given the Poole leg takes Wednesday out, Thursday has the best forecast. It’s a very unusual day for us to use (it’s usually Friday, then Sunday, then maybe Wednesday?), but I don’t know what the biggest limiting factor is for us. Obviously there’s Premiership playoffs during the week too, which might present complications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirao Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 There's the Jubilee Final so if the weather is threatening the Ben Fund collection should be held over until then. Thursday is a Premiership night and wouldn't be available. Tom and Benjamin are riding in the SGP2 next Friday and Tom has a U23 event next Sunday. I think we must press ahead with tonight but no messing about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine they want that. So realistically, it would be a week on Tuesday as the next possible date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t care less who we field at Plymouth to be honest. 7 guests and Middleditch as TM would suit me fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 It’s a dead rubber hundreds of miles from home. The only thing I care about is none of the Glasgow riders pick up an injury or a bike issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirao Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 It's not clear why we opted for a 6pm start time. It was never going to be hot and dusty in late September and we now have no wiggle room, something that saved our meeting with Scunthorpe. Can we just send seven racejackets down to Plymouth?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been messing about so blummin long I've lost track of what your manager has and hasn't missed. Should be there for all PO's, end of, it's not much to ask... especially after being granted a testimonial! Yep only the quarter final. Keep up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Given BSN are covering the tie, I wonder how flexible they can be about times? And realistically, with the geographical difference, a decision would've been needed yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Raining now on the South side for the past 30 minutes or so an early call off would help if that’s what there doing save travelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I would agree but all visiting riders and visiting fans will be well on their way I think we'll only call it off at 6 or even a bit after. I think I read all our riders were having a team bonding meal last night and everyone was staying over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
