Speedy swindon pete 509 Posted October 3, 2019 Annoying but probably the best decision. Bet the track is soaked as it is already. Started raining in Swindon already. Way ahead of forecast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn’t change the Poole vs Ipswich meetings round when rain intervened. A massive advantage now for Wolves having the 2nd leg at home. Why wait until October every season to have the play offs as do Sweden & Poland wait till then. No they don’t. Hope the Robins win but with both sides having flakey riders at times I give Wolves strength at reserve the crucial difference. Can we now agree the following :- 1. Swindon have a "massive advantage" by hosting the 2nd leg. 2. If Wolves progress to the final, it will be a huge backs to the wall performance against all the odds, especially as Swindon finished above them in the table and nearly topped the league ? 3. If Swindon fail they will have "massively" underperformed and let themselves down ? Of course everyone is expecting Swindon to progress because of their "massive advantage" aren't they ? 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike.Butler 601 Posted October 3, 2019 in my (recent painful) experience the 'forecast' one day proves far from accurate 24 hours later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,164 Posted October 3, 2019 Do we have to use Thursdays, as long as it’s not affecting riders what’s the real problem with riding it on any day, preferably when the forecast shows it as ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted October 3, 2019 Horrible out there im 5 minutes from stadium and rain has really settled in and the roads are pretty wet now no way this would had started Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,982 Posted October 3, 2019 Why doesn't a promotor phone Berwick and say can we hire your track covers. I know it would mean a bit of forward thinking but stranger things have happened. Admittedly it wouldn't have helped tonight, but if rain was forecast in the days leading upto the meeting and day of meeting was forecast to be dry they could help getting it on.

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted October 10, 2019 Rain is predicted from 8 tonight so if correct will the meeting go ahead or not. With a ten point lead and the Robins showing last night that they can cope with a wet track better than the Wolves riders I can only see us going through to meet Ipswich in the final.

Lefty 1,257 Posted October 10, 2019 As a travelling Wolves fan I think it would be best if Swindon rode at home to Ipswich in the 1st leg of the final tonight. We could then drive to Cricklade, have a few beers, turn around and head home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When can they race this if postponed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take away any home advantage. Either way I can’t see Swindon blowing a 10 point lead, let’s face it they aren’t Poole. We also all know about both clubs in the play offs winning their away legs. Fingers crossed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
