My dad is there and braved the journey.. he was told Graham and Stewart had been working on the track all morning trying their best. One fan got in early and was asked to leave for taking photos of the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Last night's rain was heavy. And with cloud filling the sky now and rain having appeared in my forecast the chances of me setting off out are reducing quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Difficult to defend the club over this. What happened between the decisions to start letting people in, and the call-off? I don't think that any further rain fell - in fact if anything the sky brightened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 The obvious solution is for Phil Morris to hire the Cardiff stadium (at mates rates), bring Ole Olsen over to instal a track, and sell it to Discovery+ at a huge profit for televising.

Ashton Boughen had two falls and Tom Spencer and Max James one apiece. Max J’s heavy fall pretty much signified that was the end of any hope of the meeting starting. Jordan Jenkins was the only Oxford rider to put in some laps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Until people just stop going at this time of year, clubs will keep trying to run meetings and let folks travel/enter without a 2nd thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
