Christmas Cracker - Now 8th Feb, 7pm @ Somerset

[oldswindonsupporter 42]

Getting back on topic I think the track may be raceable for Friday but my fear is the car park and surrounding areas as they are badly flooded at present.

 

Weather forecast doesn't look promising at all.Currently doubtful that I'll be going based on it that's for sure...http://www.metoffice...bridge#?tab=map. Of course things may change but if the car parks etc are flooded that might well be the deciding factor regardless of how the track is!

Well done to Somerset keeping cost of programme down to £1.

thats because its a Race'card' NOT a programme

[Starman2006 2,356]

Dying to go to this, Is there any news from the promotion as to the chances?

 

I'd also keep an eye on the Rebels site if i was you. Forcast is not great, and they've had plenty of rain in the west..

[ukrossifan 77]

Just on BSPA site that decision to be made re Friday's meeting tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon

[Devilforever 37]

judging by the amount of rain we are having in Plymouth at the moment, cant see this being on myself, pity as I know a load of us were coming up

[lady s 12]

Was thinking of coming to Somerset for this but after the weather we've had not even going to risk setting off this time ..

[Starman2006 2,356]

Plenty of rain in the Devon/somerset border. Im sure the promotion will make an early decision to save fans trying to travel.

Good early call off, shame I won't be able to make the new date, a Saturday would have attracted more travelling fans I would have thought.

[G the Bee 639]

I agree. Well done on the early call off but having the re-staging on a Friday evening when everyone is back at work seems like a strange decision. Is it the case that the OTA only has permission to run on Fridays because otherwise, in terms of crowd numbers, surely a weekend date would have been better?

 

Either way, unfortunately there's no way I will be going to the re-staging. Belting it down to Somerset straight after work on a cold Friday evening for a fix of speedway simply has less appeal than taking a leisurely trip down there on a day off over the Christmas period or going during a weekend and making a bit of a day of it.

Yes, unfortunately the terms of our planning only allow Somerset to run on Friday nights or 6 'off nights' during the year but not on a Saturday or Sunday, nor a Bank Holiday.

'We' ?? Don't you mean 'You' ?

For another £1.50 many people (not everyone obviously) want a good read not just a race card

[lucifer sam 3,955]

Statman, will the restaging take place with as many of the original line-up as possible?

 

All the best

Yes, as far as I know the vast majority of the original field are available for the re-staging date
