But with the current TV deal in Poland it will only make things more difficult. FIM needs PZM and vice-versa. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SharpenRake 1,505 Posted June 7, 2019 According to the Tigers marketing manager from the Tigers Fans Discussion page covers are going down today. To be fair the last 2 days have been dry despite some of the forecasts saying we were due showers. Heres' hoping everything will go ok, really looking forward to it.

Think at least 8 of these riders due to ride in Poland on Sunday They will all ride in the restaging- Poland will cancel the meetings where riders are missing- always done it that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think at least 8 of these riders due to ride in Poland on Sunday Once the riders have signed on for the meeting, the GP Qualifier takes precedence. If the riders tried to ride in Poland on Sunday in preference to the GP Qualifier, the FIM could simply suspend their licence, to ensure that they couldn't ride in Poland anyway. Hopefully, it won't come to that. If the weather Gods play fair, we should get an excellent meeting on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah SR, I think they'll do their damnedest to get this meeting running on Saturday. That's the way of FIM events and they'll only restage if the track is not rideable or dangerous. Only thing is, the rain might keep some of the less fanatical punters away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted June 8, 2019 Fair to call the forecast for Glasgow today iffy, lets hope there`s more sun than rain and the covers do their work as the last thing the riders and those people going will want is a call off https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648579 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try met office weather forecast for possilpark which tends to be not bad. Also the track was fine when the covers were put down and it drains well so can't see lite rain this afternoon being a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,725 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Can’t put links up as in wet Derbyshire, Updates will have the Glasgow live scores and Sportowefakty have the other 2 rounds today. Zarnovica starts 2.15 UK time Lamothe - Lamerron starts at 7pm UK time Edited June 8, 2019 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted June 8, 2019 Never ever use BBC weather. Its shockingly bad and always wrong. If there is like 5% of rain they always say heavy rain. Theres alot less rain around Glasgow than what was predicted. If the covers are down I'd say Glasgow are good to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a quali in Berwick a few years ago when I think it was postponed directly to monday from saturday and the riders were not allowed to ride in Poland on the sunday. Could remember wrong though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of fishermen on west coast Scotland use Norwegian weather forecasting agency as much more accurate for Scotland.Funnily enough a South African told me they use Nowegian service too for forecast for where he lives in South Africa!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
