I suspect that is an error but just in case, has the time of the meeting been changed? Not as far as I know, certainly gates open at 1.15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a 2-15pm parade start in Ipswich so that would be 3-15pm for you in Bordeaux Jonny . Although there's got to be serious doubt weather wise that it will even happen and as others have remarked it certainly won't produce the money spinning bumper crowd that a warm sunny day would likely have done.

BluTiger 21,692 Posted March 30, 2018 If the forecast is correct this won't be on, heavy rain from 1pm according to the Met. Happy Easter https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/u12b4ht3f#?date=2018-03-30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 956 Posted March 30, 2018 Well done to Lakeside for making an early call, its so important to gain the trust of the fan base early on the season, if you take a chance and have to call it off after everyone has travelled you will struggle to get that trust back every time the weather looks iffy. The Ipswich leg is a little different as the weather isn't supposed to hit until start time, its a promoters worst nightmare, if it does go ahead they will need to race this meeting through in record time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badge 5,125 Posted March 30, 2018 Well I for one wouldn't want to be in chris louis' shoes this morning, that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted March 30, 2018 I'd much rather an early call off. Trying to beat the weather with people inside the stadium does no one any favours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted March 30, 2018 Looking at the radar it was totally the right decision, it will be raining in Ipswich by 2 and so the meeting would never have started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam 376 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) A shame as I was looking forward to doing both meetings but right decision from both clubs. Edited March 30, 2018 by liam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
