Super Blue 616 Posted April 1, 2018 So what do we reckon on our chances of finally getting our season under way on Thursday? After the total washout that was supposed to be a feast of speedway over the Easter weekend hopefully we'll actually get a meeting to watch! The majority of the Witches have at least had some time on their bikes but not around the slightly reshaped Foxhall track. The only one who doesn't know his way round our home shale is Michael Hartel but hopefully it won't take him long to get dialed in. Anyway, looking at the potential teams it should theoretically be a comfortable home win whilst getting in some much needed laps and the guys starting to earn some money. Opinions? And weather permitting all systems go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted April 1, 2018 What’s the weather forecast like for Thursday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted April 1, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646057 at the moment BCD the forecast is for more wet stuff right up until Thursday. That’s a hell of a lot of water the track will have taken considering the amount it’s already taken recently. The temperatures are on the rise it looks like though so hopefully that will help dry things out on Thursday if that forecast is accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted April 1, 2018 It will certainly be a test of the new drainage A dry 24 before though always gives a chance when you have a decent set up to get things right Fingers crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pob 545 Posted April 2, 2018 Looking at the latest forecast on MET Office it looks like we may get lucky on Thurs. More rain due on Wed but Tue and Thurs should be dry . Think it's gonna depend on how much damage has already been done over the Easter weekend to the track with all the rain that's already come down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And weather permitting all systems go. I can see only two possible outcome's , a easy home win or postponement due to waterlogged track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted April 3, 2018 A pleasant dry day with improving temperatures in the mid teens forecast for Thursday, but more showers expected throughout tomorrow. You have to wonder whether a full dry day on Thursday will be enough to dry out the track enough to prepare a meeting because the amount of rain that’s fell over the last handful of days has been ridiculous.

Following a wash out over Easter I should think their will be a few Panthers fans likely to come to this so regular weather updates over the next couple of days would be helpful.
