Bald Bloke Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 (edited) 3 hours ago, Steve Irving said: No need for “tinted glasses “ at Ipswich. They actually make an effort to get meetings on. They uploaded photos from mid afternoon last year of the track literally under water, but worked their boll0cks off to get the meeting on by 7.30. Same last week, heavy showers on and off all day, if that had been Norfolk you could guarantee it would have been called, but not at Ipswich. The like of Bagpuss who seems to defend his club to the death need to call out his club for once. They’re currently a pathetically ran Speedway club who need a dry week and completely dry forecast on race day to let a meeting go ahead, seemingly because they can’t be @rsed doing any track work if any rain falls. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. If it’s not the weather it’s telling lies about broken pit gate locks because half your team is away on Danish duty. Pathetic club, Lynn fans should be embarrassed. There has been an identical forecast in Ipswich as Norfolk for today. Early morning torrential rain flooded the roads, forecast is off and on showers for the rest of the day. Have Ipswich called it off? No. It may well get postponed if and when more rain falls, but you can guarantee that when it gets called there was zero chance of it going ahead. But that won’t prove Lynn correct and Ipswich wrong. Ipswich are simply prepared to do all it takes and work hard to get a meeting on, Lynn clearly can’t be bothered!!! Ipswich Witches 7 m · Sadly, we have been forced to postpone tonight's fixture against Leicester at Foxhall Too much rain has fallen late this afternoon for the track to dry out A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course … See more That post was around 6pm on the Ippo FB page. With away fans probably on their way. Riders there ? I thought they would of tried until at least 7.30 to get the track rideable, if not raceable?

fliss44 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 So difficult to time these decisions. I tried to inform my 2 friends as soon as possible but they had just arrived after over 2 hours travelling. They were chuffed to bits ..of course!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I think they have been unlucky. It’s been dry where I live about 6 miles away but it was much wetter near the stadium. I assume they got hit by a heavy localised shower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Just checked BSPL and Speedway Updates. Speedway Updates say the meeting is OFF but BSPL website still showing the meeting as going ahead after Ipswich announced the meeting was off on Facebook over half an hour ago. Not very impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer1969 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 It is showing it as on with a preview of the meeting but on the same website the fixture list has been showing it as off for quite a while now, as you say not very impressive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
