Biffa Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Bojangles, my quote got yours in by mistake. My Wow was to more towards Oxford might not have Scott Nicholls & the team Redcar had to put out at Oxford with 4 guests.

Nickinho Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Blue skies, streets starting to dry up., nice breeze too atm. Personally, I think they made the wrong call on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way everyone will be happy. The season fizzles out and clubs and riders lose out financially. But maybe, just maybe this will be the catalyst to do away with play offs. Don't think they will ever do that (sadly). Last year there was 10 play-off matches, this year it's up to 14. If they think they'll struggle for dates, top 4 knockout is only 6 matches!

Nickinho Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Perfect weather for speedway. Sunny, warm, breezy. Very poor decision imo. What was stopping them waiting until 2pm or 3pm? Oxford isn't exactly on the other side of the world. I struggle to make sense of some of these postponement decisions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has been in the diary all season - for GP riders. Absolutely farcical if a facility was given for a TV presenter. Is he a speedway rider or not? 6 hours ago, SharpenRake said: The simplest thing to do is for Glasgow to go to Redcar and lose. That way everyone will be happy.

Hopefully it's the catalyst to stop clubs messing around with their fixtures every season. This isn't a solely Glasgow issue, Championship fixtures should not be stretching across 5 months. There are 9 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see what gain from continuing to bring it up either tbh. Every forecast I looked at this morning had rain after 5 which has moved back slightly through the day. Most of which still saying showers between 7 & 10. If were standing in stands and started hammering down we'd all be whinging not called off early.

They know if it spits rain At 7.00 the riders won’t take the bikes out the van though.Oxford is not round the corner that you seem too think.

It would be meltdown in the stands, on Twitter, on Facebook, the Poole fans would be mad we’d wasted Oxford’s time, “the Facennas must have money to burn if they can afford all these rain-offs”, etc, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corfe pirate Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Whatever the right or wrongs of these call offs, the weather can not be allowed to determine the destination of the championship trophy. Time for another extension? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Damned if you do, damned if you dont. I felt it was a bit early to call it off when they did especially given that the weather was forecast as it has been - a little rain earlier, nice clear afternoon and as others have said a perfect night for speedway as things stand just now. They need to stop looking at the weather forecasts given out from England and listen to Sean Batty or Windy Wilson as they are far more accurate up here. Could be costly if they run out of dates 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Case in point..since my last post left Glasgow in perfect sunshine got train home and caught in a heavy shower with skies looking like rain be on all night..met office now saying 80% rain at 6 and thunderstorm at 7. Might just be right decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem to with the pairs. But as you can use any 2 of your top 3 for that, you may well be right. Scott doesn't seem too convinced about the call off. https://x.com/scottnicholls78/status/1706628137050624012?s=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
