Though I guess it depends on how sunny and windy it is? If the weather allowed, in theory, yes. But does become problematic for attendees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that did enter my mind and fans hate waiting around to see if a meeting is going to called off or not! I did see a photo of the track on twitter and does look quite wet!

For those that want to stay & those that have travelled, probably otherwise discount/ free entry at another meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 12, 2022 Due to start at 5 & crowd getting angry is the quote on updates. Officials & riders are already there so probably willing to give it a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,863 Posted June 12, 2022 5pm start now, I'm no hanging around. Can't predict the showers so no hassle aimed at promotion but I've no got 5 hours spare to sit around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derrickn 56 Posted June 12, 2022 2 hours ago, lucifer sam said: Streams are almost exclusively bought by away fans who cannot travel to the meeting. With, for example. 100 watching, that's £1200 per meeting of extra income. If you're spending over £1200 per meeting on the production of the stream, then you're doing something wrong. I thought the streaming they did last year could only be viewed outside a 25 mile radius of Glasgow,so aimed more at opponents supporters than home fans.

I think Plymouth and Poole use the same production company to reduce costs,but I don't know how many people tune in to their streams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentLurker 104 Posted June 12, 2022 Rain forecast for 5. The new start time. Unsure how a 30-45 minute shower has caused this much damage to the track. Track covers could have been used in this circumstance, surely. It has not rained once since quarter past 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FromBendThree 145 Posted June 12, 2022 There needs to be a cut-off time for a meeting to get started: suggest if delay is more than an hour the match is postponed. Last year I stood around at Kings Lynn watching Buster relay the track but the riders still said no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishersGate 521 Posted June 12, 2022 I think from now on the policy will be if it's rains even for a second on the they will postpone the match for another date so rubbish like this stops from happening. Basically a no risk attitude. Been so lucky at Leicester this year with only one postponement. We've basically nearly completed our championship home matches.

If you call off matches in June for a spot of rain, then you'll be racing these fixtures in a wet October, not able to cancel them as there's no dates left! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
