Yes there’s rain coming up from the south west but it could pass to the west of Poole. I hope it doesn’t but think quite a few fans will turn up at the stadium tonight wondering what the hell is going on if it’s a dry evening. Rotten luck to Turnip coming all this way at great expense. I wonder if the Poole promotion can treat him when he is next down? Skidder is it possible to bring it up with Danny so he can get a tour of the pits and watch a heat or 2 from centre green? Just a thought. Dont think turnip on the centre green is going to be possible - he will probably take root!!! ps. Danny Ford explains the early decision in the Echo online. Plenty of days/dates available to reschedule Edited May 18, 2022 by Skidder1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, any fans coming from west of Poole might be put off attending as the rain is not far away. Will Poole get a dowsing? Not 100% sure to be honest as it’s close but running up the country west of Poole. Next hour will say whether we will get heavy rain or not.

lbw 869 Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) No rain at the Travelodge in Poole but the sky looks like a zit that needs squeezing! Edited May 18, 2022 by Turnip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) No rain in Parkstone. The main heavy rain has missed. But there is a small cell of heavy rain which might hit in the next 30 mins. Other than that nothing else. But probably the right call considering the closeness of the rain. It could have hit and no doubt would have affected attendance.

I've lost about £130 on travel & accommodation, yes I'm well peed off but it is wot is. I hope it rains & so will the Poole promotion to justify the decision but if it doesn't rain u can only go on the forecast. The promotion would've taken everything into consideration before making the call. It's probably already cost them money & hassle to call it off. There's a lot more things that go on behind the scenes to sort out to get a meeting on than we the humble fan will ever appreciate. They are certainly not lazy! Well, technically by the sound of your last post, you haven't really lost it. Why not have a night out in Poole and enjoy the local amenities, ye never know,,, you might meet a nice Swede? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
