SPEEDY69 Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Dry day apart from a chance of very light rain so should be fine. We didn't get much rain last night and all drying up now. Edited September 21, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Don't know where you are speedy but it shows the rain was very localised and depends whether the rain band hit the stadium Where I am (2ish miles away as crow flies) the rain was so heavy it woke me up and looking out it was monsoon like If that hit the track I expect similar pictures to the May example If so it will be significantly harder to resolve this time as it has been generally wetter and colder so underlying conditions not as condusive No dry sunny and warm day to assist either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guttering overflows if there is heavy rain and it didn't last night. On my short drive at 6.30 this morning the roads were drying. There really should be no problems with the meeting today, it's still quite warm - or is that a rodent I can whiff? Forecast now show possible 1mm of rain this afternoon, which is really not a lot.

foreverblue Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 So apparently Ipswich can't use Joe T because of 8 day rule despite the rules appear to state that doesn't to NDL riders! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Jacobs Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Clear and dry all morning a little way east of Foxhall, with the sun currently breaking through about 8/10 fluffy white clouds. The only black cloud at the moment is the pathetic decision to stop Ipswich from using Joe Thompson as a guest at RS! In stead of rolling over, the Witches should ride under protest.

foreverblue Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 If a team has to use the same riders in a two legged play off then if Ben Cook had ridden at BV then would he have to ride tonight even though Blodorn is now fit. In the same way shouldn't Cook have ridden in the second leg of last years semi final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
