Forecasting the weather is very much hit & miss as different websites have differing forecasts. On Monday, for example, rain was expected pm & it duly came then clearing, delaying the start of the meeting

 

(see pictures on updates http://speedwayupdat...scrollTo=294115 )

 

After a 30min delay the 150cc British Championship Round got underway of 7 races after which the PLKOC match started where riders & fans were not covered in wet shale but dust

If riders, promotions & fans have travelled then give it a chance, if possible.

 

Having a great promoter, draining track & track curators can make it possible.

 

That was one off thought. How often is a speedway meeting in the afternoon, can afford a large delay and have three separate meetings to balance with.

You really are a tw*T with too much to say. Egg on your face without a doubt it hasn't rained since about 11 this morning and it wasnt heavy neither. The area was bone dry at 4, and I live closer to the stadium than you think Mr know all.

 

And the track was not under water this morning. It's just your attitude in trying to make others look a fool when you clearly are the village idiot.! Don't reply with useless excuses. I was out doing the garden at 2!

I work 1/2 mile from the stadium and can tell you it did rain after 11. Stopped about 1 and showers in the afternoon.

Wheres it started raing? Not Poole as I am looking out the window to dry roads. Moon is clear to see as are the stars. No rain at all since before 3 pm.

Near Ringwood, stopped again though only a brief shower.

(Today afternoon and early evening) Sunshine, blue skies, light cloud, perfect weather for calling off a meeting, but to be fair the "forecast" was somewhat different to the reality .

Poole fans arguing amongst themselves ....priceless! It did rain....it didn't rain.....will it rain......if I'm honest the only sensible posts seem to be Mr Shovlar....yes I did say that!

Starman does get very defensive about the weather!
