Shadders 4,135 Posted October 13, 2012 Had no choice it hammered down! Waste of petrol and time, but can 't control the weather. We purposely left it late to arrive as I had a hunch the weather would intervene. It Must have been quite a downpour as the surrounding roads and car park were very very wet... We were under a huge black cloud that looked like it was gonna burst at any time all the way up the A10 from the M25. There was no way that meeting was going ahead. If we don't get favourable conditions I can see this season being a wash out and the competition abandoned. I doubt many will mourn it's passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BossMan 8 Posted October 13, 2012 You didn't pay to go in did you? No mate - stayed outside waiting to hear the bikes before I paid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted October 14, 2012 Will be interesting to see now who complains about the late call off and if they're the same people who complain about the early call offs that we usually get... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimmo 1,070 Posted October 14, 2012 Had no choice it hammered down! Waste of petrol and time, but can 't control the weather. Like you Ken, I had the wasted journey, in my case from Norfolk, which this season has hit the pocket extremely hard with the ever rising fuel costs. I came through some torrential rain enroute, and should have turned back, but you always hope it's not going to move up the road with you. Very disappointing, especially as I can't get back next week, but Uncle Len says I can use the rain-off tickets for the 'Ace of Herts' meeting, not that I'm really interested in that particular fixture, but guess I'll be there. Now hoping Mildenhall goes ahead this afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolly 96 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) No mate - stayed outside waiting to hear the bikes before I paid Should have come into the pub next door, with me, Anders Mellgren, Ludwig Lingren and Ricky Kling. That may have given a clue that meting was off Edited October 14, 2012 by bolly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That may have given a clue that meting was off I hope you took the opportunity to ask Anders what his plans are for 2013 😉 Any reason why Ricky Kling should've been at Rye House yesterday? His latest Tweet may be a clue Edited October 14, 2012 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His latest Tweet may be a clue Yes I did and he said that if at all possible he will be back with Rye. Lens got to agree to get his registration from BSPA but he likes it at Rye. Ricky and Ludwig dont know their plans for next year yet ( or are not saying). They all say that riding for Rye House is a pleasure and gets a big reccomendation from ex-rye riders like Linus and Stefan, on the continent. Shads Just seen tweet, put 2 and 2 together and most probably wrong but looks like next year could be interesting )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was very disappointed with his performance at Berwick. It may have been the first time he'd seen the place, but he looked out of his depth We could be barking up the wrong tree entirely, but it's fun to speculate!

Yes, but with an EL ave of 3.97, he would come in on a reasonable ave I think. 3.97 x 1.6 = ???, Less than 8 anyway Maybe not a big No. 1 but I think with the way the team looks to be shaping, he would fit in. Talking to him last night he seems like a good lad too )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
