Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 18, 2015 Barsteward, many will go but many can not easily get there. Wording suggests they may have switched to another meeting.....who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adder 94 Posted August 18, 2015 Still showing on Sky's website! http://www.skysports.com/watch/speedway-on-sky I assume they don't want to risk the expenditure of setting up the cameras etc given the dodgy weather forecast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You cannot rely on that, it is usually not up to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 18, 2015 Very strange. I guess 2 reasons why it might now not be shown. 1. The weather forecast is not very good so they don't want another rain off or only 10 heats (although doesn't usually stop them) 2. The most likely being that Swindon were thrashed on their last visit to Poole so maybe feel it won't be close enough for good viewing. will we have another Rosco rant to look forward to😉 It's very strange though after all the hype over the last couple of weeks by sky over this and Ward. Will that mean yet another week without speedway on sky (should have shown yesterday's) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,263 Posted August 18, 2015 Maybe going to Kings Lynn instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Barsteward, many will go but many can not easily get there. Have seen weather forecast after reading post 19 above so maybe correct decision and my post was wrong. Hope they will show KL rather than nothing.

Woz01 3,589 Posted August 18, 2015 I would be Poole that advised Sky. Clubs give Sky 48 hours notice whether the meeting is likely to run or not from what we were told after the Cov V Poole fiasco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will that mean yet another week without speedway on sky (should have shown yesterday's) It'll be a joint decision based on the forecast...nothing to do with the score line last time out. Same option Coventry had and probably wished they had taken when Poole were in town on Sky! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same option Coventry had and probably wished they had taken when Poole were in town on Sky! But to be fair it was said you have to give Sky 48 hours noticed to whether it was going to be postponed or not. That's not happening in this instance, maybe that's changed after the Coventry fine.

SCB 0 Posted August 18, 2015 Maybe going to Kings Lynn instead? Correct. Skys speedway twitter account confirms they're monitoring the weather in Poole and Lynn today but plan to be at Lynn now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted August 18, 2015 Correct. Skys speedway twitter account confirms they're monitoring the weather in Poole and Lynn today but plan to be at Lynn now. Are they sure because they gave a Belle Vue v Swindon result out when they were on heat 14! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted August 18, 2015 It may of been decided yesterday? That would be the mandatory 48 hours notice? Kings Lynn affected by different weather system, their weather is controlled by a Scandinavian blocking high pressure and should be mostly dry Wednesday..

mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) confirmed that King's Lynn V Coventry is now being shown instead With less than 3 weeks to go before the cut off date and Swindon already riding a lot, I'm sure Poole will do everything they can to get this meeting on Maybe sky could give us the score for both meetings now like they did yesterday 😂 Edited August 18, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,621 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Common sense by sky changing the cameras to kl giving the weather forcasts for Poole and Kings Lynn . Edited August 18, 2015 by orion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
