Woz01 3,589 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) The forecast for Poole on Wednesday isnt THAT bad according to Met Office. Dry until 1 then rain until the evening. Get covers on it in the morning and it will have a chance. Edited October 13, 2014 by woz01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,828 Posted October 13, 2014 Totally lost interest since the other semi couldn't/wouldn't be completed Quite agree, with multiple guests and postponements its difficult to maintain enthusiasm tbh which is a great shame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted October 13, 2014 Poole need to put the covers down and get the meeting on as evening on wed is okay. If they were told it would be awarded a walkover to kings Lynn they would soon do it. Weather looking good for Brandon on Friday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted October 13, 2014 Bet their hole won't be sorted! A speedway first - a water feature ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaleshifter 177 Posted October 13, 2014 Bet their hole won't be sorted! Fot your information the hole has been repaired.Gerald Richter was down at the stadium last week repairing the damage to the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,659 Posted October 13, 2014 Also there has been virtually constant rain all week and more forecast this week so any use of covers would mean putting them down on an already soaking track, which does not make for a safe, decent racing surface.

Trees 2,814 Posted October 13, 2014 Well thank goodness for that, no doubt every rider will be having a good old dig about in that area when the meeting eventually does go ahead!! Also there has been virtually constant rain all week and more forecast this week so any use of covers would mean putting them down on an already soaking track, which does not make for a safe, decent racing surface. Must have been dry when Gerald sorted 'the hole'? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No rain on Tuesday so have a chance to prepare. The forecast for Wednesday has changed for the worse from this morning though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul90210 40 Posted October 13, 2014 Surely if poole can't get this meeting on either Wednesday or Thursday, that will have been 4 attempts, all done because of their inability to prepare their track (either on purpose or by mistake) for this first attempt, then they must forfeit the meeting and lynn go through. That's my opinion anyway. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,828 Posted October 13, 2014 Eventually a decision has to be made, we can't keep trying to get the meeting on and end up running out of season to run the final. Whether it be a coin toss, taking the first leg score as an aggregate or awarding the second leg to Lynn something needs to be sorted soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted October 13, 2014 How feasible is a neutral venue finance wise? I'm assuming that Poole would for financial purposes become the promoters. Would they even have the 2nd leg at Lynn. They did after all win the first leg there. That surely would be a better option than a coin toss or awarding it. It would also guarantee a reasonable crowd which might not be the case anywhere else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques 3,114 Posted October 13, 2014 The weather forecast for Wednesday is terrible, it doesn't matter if you close one eye, turn your head to one side there is a great big swathe of wet and windy weather in it's way, even after what we a getting today down here at the moment....

orion 7,627 Posted October 13, 2014 Eventually a decision has to be made, we can't keep trying to get the meeting on and end up running out of season to run the final. Whether it be a coin toss, taking the first leg score as an aggregate or awarding the second leg to Lynn something needs to be sorted soon. Why ? there is 18 days to get 3 meetings in . Bad weather happens but there is no need to panic as there is plenty of time . I am amazed that people could even think there would be a neutral venue .Do people really think that Poole are going give up the gate money ? And who would paid for the hire of the stadium and the riders wages etc . I Understand these call offs are frustrating but we need to stay reasoned in our thinking .
