Bitza Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Hagon scoring 6 tonight for Leicester has to be great news for the Pirates, if he can find some form it will make so much difference to the team. I think he's coming back, after all you don't become a bad rider over night, but you can loose your confidence for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Just seen the latest forecast which shows heavy rain tomorrow evening. Frustratingly due early evening after a dry day meaning all the Poole fans will have made the journey before it’s likely called off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Will be attending both legs. I just hope Oxford don't do their normal trick of calling it off when they have people in the stadium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 26 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: With the current forecast they should call it off now, there have been many meetings called off on a forecast this season, just because it is a play off they won't call it off.

Half of Oxford is currently under water, so the state of the track at the moment is probably even more of a concern than how much is going to fall on Wednesday afternoon. Oxford has history of trying to get meetings on though, some successfully - some not so. Don't expect an early call off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People start getting jumpy when 2-3mm are forecast, but on Monday the city had 77mm - the heaviest rainfall for 56 years. Let's just say this will be a real test of their drainage system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 If the track is wet, it may be of a benefit to us so I would think Oxford would want it off in those circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not put too much store on last night, a good score but wet track which others struggled with, if he got 3 at Oxford, most Poole fans would be happy with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have the track prepared no doubt, but we are sweating on the weather late afternoon/evening. All they can do is prepare it and pack it down tight. Sadly they are on a win win situation, if it gets called off, they sadly will get the second leg, unless Matt and Dan say no . So make of that what you will ! What you laughing for Tyretrax Edited September 24 by Starman2006 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInTheDHSS Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 (edited) The track is currently looking okay....considering the circumstances. Bend four still flooded, but the rest of the track is in good condition. It will be fine by tomorrow. Question remains, how much rain will arrive tomorrow though?
