Cue Ball 417 Posted March 31 Is there no topic started for this one because the weather forecast is pants or due to lack of interest?? For those travelling from Sheffield, Snake Pass has been closed this afternoon for an accident, presume it will be open tomorrow but worth checking in the morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,216 Posted March 31 Was coming down from worky for this but all forecasts look crap, so unfortunately gonna stop at home and save me pennies for comets away trips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manifesto 50 Posted April 1 Another dreadful week of rain including today.. can’t see any speedway happening. A great match up this year BV and Sheffield. Think both at NSS and Owlerton scores will be close as they usually are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralMelchett 557 Posted April 1 Snake still closed - was thinking of trying to get to this but it’s as someone else said a dreadful day for rain - raining right now in Sheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 870 Posted April 1 I'm another one who was planning to make the trip to NSS but the weather forecast has been appalling for days and hasn't changed this morning. Surprised it hasn't been called off already, if it does go ahead I hope it isn't farcical due to conditions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we just have to wait and see 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a dry day yesterday I'm sure the track can take s substantial amount of rain I can't see it being cancelled because of the forecast - a different matter if the rain on site is heavier than forecast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,867 Posted April 1 We haven’t had heavy rain as of yet and I’m about 5 miles from track. The weather been perfect last few days here so track would have been prepped for this and as we know we can take alot of water. im edging towards it being on myself. But the result will be a lottery now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 417 Posted April 1 Think it is the lottery result putting me off. Not bothered about spending £50+ to watch follow my leader in the rain just for the sake of it - much as I want to get my first meeting of the season under my belt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Day time meetings at the NSS are not normally the best anyway, was coming up for this from Leicester, but after attending the fiasco at the real HQ of Speedway, Scunny, on Good Friday I shall not bother with this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
