Well the rain in Oxford last night was very heavy.

This morning I was working about half a mile from the stadium and there was a couple of heavy downpours.

Maybe they shouldve waited for you Pirate fans to brave the journey north and then called it off.

Doesn't normally stop Oxford from keeping a meeting on! Early call off is actually out of character for them. :D

Have to take your word about the rain as lots of people saying it hasn't rained there  today and also if you look up past weather in Oxford it has no rain for any time today.

After calling off a few meetings last year when all the fans were in the stadium, you'd think Oxford would be praised for calling it off early?

As they are racing in all 3 leagues, there's no way they want any postponements, so they must have been sure the track wasn't raceable.

Can you imagine if Poole called a meeting off this early with only a couple of heavy showers, people would want evidence of the damage to the track.

Oxford covers a big area

It can rain somewhere and a few hundred yards away be completely different weather.

Last season people moaned about late call offs

Now they moan about early ones

Considering the conditions the Birmingham meeting was ridden in, just seems a little strange.

What else do you expect from Poole fans?

If it was Poole we would be castigated for it especially if we said it would make the track too grippy! 

I don't think any club should be castigated for making an early call if they genuinely think there's a risk of being rained off, even the unpopular ones :D

Also two different reasons! Ticket company are the ones saying it was because it is too grippy ( a fan posted their email onto the Poole FB group).  Oxford saying waterlogged.

So in answer to my question yes you did bottle it when it mattered.... top of the league means nothing
