Lioness 1,455 Posted October 8, 2023 Took my friend 3 and a half hours to get from Greenock to her dads in Falkirk because of the flooding, weather and road closures. Usually takes 45 minutes. Track staff will have their work cut out to get the track ready for tomorrow night I reckon, no way it would be rideable today. for whoever it was coming up anyway, it’s the tattie howkin holiday up here this week so places should be open ok. Might be full of kids tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diablo 19 Posted October 8, 2023 Surprised if the 1st leg goes ahead tomorrow night & I can’t see the crowd being anywhere near what it should be for a match of this calibre but who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually takes 45 minutes. 45 mins from Greenock to Falkirk is some going! Possible to do in 45 mins when its quiet and no traffic but never at peak time when it would be more like double that - M8 across Kingston Bridge could take an hour on its own at peak time, the same for the M80 which is a car park at rush hour peak time, or a car park at anytime when there's an accident or a breakdown and tailbacks for miles, been there done that.

He probably didn’t want the season to end and the strives he has made is clear to see. Certainly one of the first names on 2024 team sheet. His loss will be noticeable and it’s likely he will miss the second leg as well. The problem is, there's no rider Poole wouldn't want back imo. Probably all the riders keen to return too. Depending on the points limit, there's gonna at least one disappointed rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,043 Posted October 8, 2023 10 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Feel sorry for the Poole fans who have already left for the long travel up. Hope they find out quickly. With all the wet weather over the last few days I was surprised to read yesterday that the track was holding up well. At least the call off stops the riders from travelling too far. A dry day today and tomorrow should give riders the chance to race rather than ride. With the amount of postponed meetings this year, I'd be stopping every hour to check it was still on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
