Just realised Rory is riding so it’s 50/50. Think you're being generous with Rory 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Gating will definitely be more important tonight. Conditions should help the Bandits a bit. No one seems bothered about the track, and track staff haven't done any work on it, so they seem quite content about it. They're a bit less content about a car that seems to be blocking an ambulance from entering the stadium... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you'd think with only 4 heats needed for a result would've given it 10 minutes see if passed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 It looked like the Berwick guys weren't really up for it. Some quite tentative sliding. Didn't seem to bother the likes of Harris, Vissing or Schlein. There is quite a bit more water on the tack now though. Maybe they just didn't want to wait for an hour and then find they had to cancel anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Possible date for a restaging would be Friday 28 April, you'd think. Unless there are non-Championship commitments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 A job in weather forecasting is probably not an option. Saying that the actual forecasters got it wrong as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Yeah, the rain caught everyone off guard. Funny how the rain always starts at 6:30 on Fridays here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah unfortunately there was no option after it started to get persistent.Saved Berwick a drubbing.That was Schlein v Tigers.Flint for Cole’s seemed a strange tactical,on what I had watched I would have thought the reversal would have been a better option.Very patchy ,roads were dry at Newhouse.

That's the date Glasgow had pencilled in for KO Cup so unless Berwick have riders unavailable should be good for 28th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe using Leon's 3 rides up early and use Coles rest of meeting? Only reason I can think of based on their form last night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
