Gemini 4,894 Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Fear this could be the lowest attendance at Brandon for many years. Poor opposition, Monday night, full price, 2 more home meetings this week, the Sky blues at home and a weather forecast that's less than encouraging. Attendance - One lady and her dog Would it help if I take two? I've got a spare at home. ......woz01.....Wolverhampton v Belle Vue. Are there two Sky matches this week then?

Woz01 3,589 Posted August 31, 2015 If its a poor crowd today and then Wednesday will be a poor crowd too. Very few will pay £18 for a meeting on Sky, it should be £10 for all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bee 26 426 Posted August 31, 2015 Rain should stop about 1pm, just depends how heavy it comes down this morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 31, 2015 It's been raining already but as Bee 26 said, it will depend how heavy and how the track holds up. http://m.bbc.co.uk/weather/cv8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 31, 2015 It's still early so still a while to see how the weather is for the next couple of hours. Hoping we get to see some racing today. It would be good for the riders esp Howarth to have some race time before Wednesday's Sky meeting. With Lakeside and Coventry both having no meetings next week, surely if this does get called off then a new date would be announced asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Cheetah Snr 113 Posted August 31, 2015 How can Lakeside have Aaron guesting for them when Swindon are here on Wednesday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 31, 2015 How can Lakeside have Aaron guesting for them when Swindon are here on Wednesday? Because Summers won't be guesting twice. On Wednesday he will be riding for his own team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Voice Of Reason 2,124 Posted August 31, 2015 Checking the weather just now, Binley is due rain until 3pm; then it stops, before further rain from 6-9pm. I really can't see this meeting going ahead. Clearly, if Sky Sports and Go Speed were in town, it could potentially be a different story. Speaking of which, whatever happened to Coventry's appeal to the Speedway Control Bureau following the outcome of their statement on 16th July? The SCB seemed relatively quick (by their standards) dealing with the intitial fines; but what happened to Cov's subsequent appeal that they stated they'd make? And also, what happened to Coventry Promotion's complaint about Sky and Go Speed's decision to run the meeting in the first instance? Are we to assume that The Chuckle Brothers now have no case to answer; despite Mick Horton apparently having sufficient evidence to the contrary? Just to add that I fully supported Cov over this debacle but something doesn't seem to sit right here. Maybe, the 3 Grand fine handed out to the club (not the riders) would be 'dropped on appeal' if Cov agreed to keep schtum and not drag Wide Boy and The Fat Controller's names through the mud (despite the fact they are happy for riders to race in it). So many unanswered questions, eh? And it's just gone oh so very quiet recently. It does tend to make one just a tad cynical. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted August 31, 2015 They'll give this meeting every chance to go ahead with the backlog of fixtures. A dry afternoon is forecast and if it did go ahead it won't be pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given how dire we are away from home, it would hardly be a spectacle to behold; even if it was the finest Bank Holiday Monday on record mate! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
