jbell1995 114 Posted September 7, 2022 Does this mean we are going to have a third thread open before we get a first leg staged in this fixture? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Left home and All roads were dry. Arrived at parking near stadium to a lightning display and within a couple of minutes it was torrential. Ten mins later the drains in the road couldn’t cope. Drove home with flooded roads. Still raining now and track would be underwater. No chance direct storm hit. So we go again next Tuesday with Plymouth first leg. Let’s hope this low pressure moves away and we get a little settled weather.

jbell1995 114 Posted September 7, 2022 I’ve sat back and observed what’s been said on this thread and similar things sad on the one for last night and it’s a shame really. Both clubs have had excellent season but there’s so much animosity. I didn’t comment on the Gladiators side tonight because I just wanted all the riders to get back safe. I was relieved that we were even able to get 6 riders let alone their ability! It’s a shame tonight’s meeting is now off. I know there were quite a few Gladiator’s who were either already in Poole or well on their way there. These things happen unfortunately and I hope they all get home safely, same goes for the Pirate fans who are travelling around in that horrible weather. Time to rest up and get ready for next Tuesday, sadly I’ll be missing it due to an already arranged prior engagement at Argyle v Oxford United although, the seven day forecast leaves a lot to be desired once again. Let’s see what the weekend brings us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike0310 660 Posted September 7, 2022 God is a gladiators fan let’s be honest hopefully 2 good teams line up against each other next week and may the best team win. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,327 Posted September 7, 2022 Complete disregard for the supporters, early call off was a no brainer if you looked at the forecast, to focused on beating a depleted Plymouth team. Arrogance personified definitely his fathers son. Hope it's cost the club a few quid aswell. Karma is a wonderful thing,nearly as good as hindsight. I can't stop smiling. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have edited as I certainly didn't mean to cause any offence. Was just a thoughtless turn of phrase, so apologies to all especially Ben.

Let’s see what the weekend brings us. They are going against the football? Weather forecast on the met office site is just for light showers. So should be okay at the moment. So just got to wait for news on guests and whether Barker will be riding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
