racers and royals 8,723 Posted August 16, 2012 And consider this: Every GP is run on a Saturday. Every other U21 round is run on a Saturday ( incl qualifiers ) So why is this one on a Friday? And no, the real speedway world may not begin and end in Somerset, but it is obviously the centre! Stadium not available for Speedway on Saturdays-greyhound racing every Saturday unless the stock cars running(which i believe is the 1st Saturday in the month) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted August 16, 2012 Stadium not available for Speedway on Saturdays-greyhound racing every Saturday unless the stock cars running(which i believe is the 1st Saturday in the month) So don't have it at Coventry. I know it's a problem and my week end suggestion probably not viable, but we have a competition over 7 rounds which in theory could have had Kyle, Tom, Sam and Alex all missing on 7 Fridays, hopefully not R/R as well for an injury. Fortunately for one round Sam managed to ride on Friday and get a flight out on the Saturday but he was on borrowed machinery. Anyway I'm over it now, and if I don't like it I don't have to go. At the moment weather forecast not good, so perhaps it will be rearranged for Pairs Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will be pleased to hear that the re-staging dates are firstly Saturday and Secondly Sunday-with Greyhound meetings scheduled for both days i think we can take it the meeting will be on tomorrow.

That should be exciting, will they alternate the greyhound racing with the speedway, fans will be able to watch the speedway and have a bet on the dogs at the same time.

Then you could truly say that Speedway has gone to the dogs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statman 117 Posted August 17, 2012 Anymore updates on weather Been raining on & off at OTA this morning, but last of the predicted rain is just clearing the area........so finger's crossed predictions are correct and there's no more rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comebackkings 113 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Been raining on & off at OTA this morning, but last of the predicted rain is just clearing the area........so finger's crossed predictions are correct and there's no more rain. Last time a comment like that was put, the Plymouth meeting was postponed without a wheel turning, after a lot had paid to get in. I think I will pass on tonight.

Cliffeboy 577 Posted August 17, 2012 Not that it`s particularly relevant , it`s 28C in Watford and has been baking all day,can`t believe that 150 odd miles down the road it`s pi**ing down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,354 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Been raining on and off... I think this will be a turn up and go home meeting Shouldn't be. you normally get a good wind up there, and you will need that drying wind. If Ezz can keep turning the shale over and drying it out you will be fine. But if you run your boys have got to get on with it. You cannot afford a slip up. Will there be updates on this meeting tonight?? Edited August 17, 2012 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,054 Posted August 17, 2012 With Somerset so understrength maybe they can use the tactical call off,Im sure other tracks have done so in the past. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,889 Posted August 17, 2012 With Somerset so understrength maybe they can use the tactical call off,Im sure other tracks have done so in the past. Sadly there is no sun, to call a 'sun off'. A Berwick side tortured by recent injuries and poor signings, should spell a massive home win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
