Bandits4eva 1,003 Posted May 22, 2014 Looking at the forecast, they should have called it off a lot earlier samsplint 😞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcelle 162 Posted May 22, 2014 We've already had heavy rain and with more forecast it doesn't look promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerite 319 Posted May 22, 2014 It's dry in South Sheffield at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcelle 162 Posted May 22, 2014 It's dry in South Sheffield at the moment. It is in Wath about 12 miles away.....fingers crossed....Although I dont want to be told at 5 past 8 that "We've tried our best but the track isn't raceable"....And neither do all the fans who have to travel a lot further, especially Berwick fans....The Crowd will be down in my opinion.

spin king junior 394 Posted May 22, 2014 It's been dry with odd spot of rain since 9. Earlier it was really heavy though, so if we get much more rain i really can't see it being on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just got to hope we don't get some of the heavy stuff we got near race time the last time Berwick came down. It's always a tough call when travelling to meetings with a dodgy forecast, we went up to Armadale earlier in the season and it was dry when we arrived at 5:30pm, had some rain and was off at 7pm. 550 mile wasted fuel and hotel, just part of being a travelling supporter at speedway, unfortunately.

Halifordukesfan 60 Posted May 22, 2014 Worst rip-off is the non refundable £2 car park fee, the management really ought to sort this, they could at least offer a free programme for the following week on production of the car park ticket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,135 Posted May 22, 2014 We've decided not to travel up from Hoddesdon. B4E is terrified that it'll go ahead and she'll miss it. To be honest if it was my team I'd feel the same way, but looking at the forecast it looks very doubtful that it'll go ahead. I've filled the tank and told her I'm willing to travel, but she has to drive and pay for the petrol if it's another wasted journey. Can't be fairer than that can I? If by any chance the meeting is run it's gonna be hell here tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
