cheggie 72 Posted October 18, 2019 Meeting tonight at Glasgow has been postponed due to a water logged track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff100 1,426 Posted October 18, 2019 "Waterlogged track" now if i were nasty u might say perhaps 2 riders were out celabrating last night or perhaps we want the second leg at our track , all said in the best possible taste. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingersfin 181 Posted October 18, 2019 With a huge crowd expected tonight and any restaging likely to be midweek this is a sore one financially for the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,375 Posted October 18, 2019 At least it was called off early before the riders saw the track. Re run on 1st sunny day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerro 190 Posted October 18, 2019 Won’t be long until the usual suspects come along suggesting we called it off on purpose so the 2nd leg would be at Ashfield 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,022 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Oh here we go with the accusations of foul play, this is Scotland, it rains a lot, and there was heavy rain last night. Edited October 18, 2019 by dorothy58 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,505 Posted October 18, 2019 What's the point of having weather forecasts when they change every day. We've had rain when they say it will be dry and this week they have forecast everything from heavy rain to dry! It wasn't meant to rain last night or this morning but the roads around me are sodden. And they are now forecasting rain later on. Looks as if I'll never get the grass cut 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nagy1 246 Posted October 18, 2019 Gutted about the postponement. Hopefully get a Sunday meeting this weekend. Or maybe just push it out to next Saturday and the Lions fans could round up the numbers for a bus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,307 Posted October 18, 2019 This is why we need an outbreak of common sense at Fawlty Towers and run these meetings in September with the cut off at the end of August. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 704 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Not sure Sunday is an option as it would effect two other meetings as would take 3 out of National league riders final and also 3 out of the Year Wolves vs Peterborough fixture plus a lack of available guests with some riders saying they are finished for the year. I expect it to be midweek apart from Wednesday due to the England vs Denmark test match. From a a Leicester perspective I hope it’s not Monday or Friday so it does not clash with the Lions Cub fixtures at Kent and Belle It is also Leicester’s dinner and dance on Saturday so that’s not an option. I noticed earlier that forecast for Leicester has changed now with heavy rain here tonight and into Saturday morning then showers in the afternoon Edited October 18, 2019 by flagrag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
