YAMYAMBANDIT 560 Posted June 16, 2012 Just got taxi back from town as turned into a drowned rat in that rain. Still coming down, not as fast now though. Shame if they cannot pull it back to Sunday as the weather forecast sounds better as alot fans have travelled for this one be good for them and for Berwick to put on a great show. Think you will find half the field in Poland on Sunday, with Elite fixtures on Monday, earliest would be Tuesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,712 Posted June 16, 2012 Think you will find half the field in Poland on Sunday, with Elite fixtures on Monday, earliest would be Tuesday. Wrong Poland have already agreed to postpone matches and the Elite matches would have to find guests.ie FIM meeting comes first 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YAMYAMBANDIT 560 Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Wrong Poland have already agreed to postpone matches and the Elite matches would have to find guests.ie FIM meeting comes first Then Monday would be the option, as Berwick do not have a facility for a Sunday, unless they were given dispensation for this meeting. If they have, it was not in the minutes of the planning meeting.# However, seriously hope it will happen tonight, it would be such a shame for those who have travelled up for it Edited June 16, 2012 by TOURETTES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richspeedway 327 Posted June 16, 2012 After saying that it has started to come down heavier again! bloody british summer hey! Hopefully if the weather stays like this the FIM will have the brains to think pull it back 24 hours instead of letting them ride in the wet and poodle round for points and risk a bad crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully if the weather stays like this the FIM will have the brains to think pull it back 24 hours instead of letting them ride in the wet and poodle round for points and risk a bad crash If this weather keeps up thats my fear as it will turn it into a gating competition,with riders unable to move off the line infear of getting filled in,and thats no good to nobody.But as I posted the tracks been under covers for some time so the corners will be bone dry.

Cj69 333 Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) BBC weather looks promising (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819) heavy rain - 19.00 light rain - 20.00 white cloud - 21.00 Perhaps delay the start a bit, it will be FTG but didnt expect much else at berwick.

Unless the promotion has got an extension,our curfew time is 9-30,so a delay would be most un-welcome. Still raining,still fairly light though. Rains pretty heavy now.

bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted June 16, 2012 If the covers have been left on, then all this rain at the moment is irrelevant. The sun is peeking out as I type, so pretty sure this will go ahead. On the planning issue, here is the link. Berwick Town Council objected: that really is beyond belief. http://www.berwick-advertiser.co.uk/news/local-headlines/extra-rain-off-meets-secured-for-speedway-1-2350230 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LH91 3 Posted June 16, 2012 I'm sat in Morrisons cafe, rain is bouncing at the moment...can't see any sign of sun...anywhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havenagotahope 204 Posted June 16, 2012 Think the prospect of even a gate and go event may be going by the minute as here in Berwick to say the least it is splashing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImpartialOne 160 Posted June 16, 2012 I gave you the political answer"i refer you to the answer i gave before" If you couldn`t be bothered to go back 1 page then it`s not my fault . I didn't know it was on the previous page. I don't see post numbers so it could have been anywhere. Decided not go in the end and my decision is proving to be correct; No racing and terrible track. This all sounds very familiar. At least nobody caught aids from KFC this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
