proud panther 1,505 Posted September 3, 2016 It's been raining heavily since 1pm in Whittlesey, 8 miles from the track, so think the conspiracy theories are wide of the mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted September 3, 2016 It may be waterlogged now, but that track should dry out quickly due to the persistent breeze that blows across the EOES. Surely they could've waited until the morning to see how it goes? Seems dodgy to me Me too. Â A heavy downpour today and a dry day tomorrow could produce a very decent race track. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted September 3, 2016 Maybe we've all got it wrong about Big Bjerre missing tomorrow's meeting hence the postponement......................

proud panther 1,505 Posted September 3, 2016 Still raining here, so track will be waterlogged in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted September 3, 2016 another date seems possable . but if either rye or workington cannot field their own riders on the dates given by Peterborough . THEY'RE SCREWED . it happened to workington a good few years ago against, dare i say it > Edinburgh . moanarchs couldnt or wouldn't find a date possible before the cut off date .. so lets see just what el soup remo comes up with ..
