Ippo not much luck with the TS!! Some Ippo fans in twitter moaning about the track saying there is nothing out wide?

Tbh it hasn't been too bad recently. The traffic has moved pretty well on the contra flow considering. But you are right Good Friday could be very busy, depends on how many escapees from Ringwood there are at the time!! But I would have thought most the traffic will be going through in the morning and early afternoon. Shouldn't be too bad when you get to the evening.

I think Danny King said he has when him and Steve did the interview on BSN and they were asked about whether they had ridden at Oxford previously.

How come? Do they have a squad system in that league?

Does it take over an hour to get from Bournemouth to Poole?? Footie would finish about 4.50 if you allow for injury time. I'd say getting from Manchester to Poole in 3 hours on Good Friday when everyone seems to descend onto Dorset! Is more of an issue, esp if the BV meeting overruns imo.

It was a bit of wishful thinking!

Changed to 7.30pm. I think because Nathan Ablitt is riding for BV Colts in Manchester at 1pm!!!

Hopefully they will be complacent as they haven't been massively tested yet. Not saying Poole are they ones to do that though!! Will depend a lot on both set of brothers I think! Zach and Ben out perform theirs, I think good shot at least of the losers point!

No, they are riding Poole not Glasgow. Have you got into a fixture confusion??

2007, we would have had Batch!!! And JC lol. Blimey, feels like a million years ago! Good to see Oxford back Don't forget Jack Thomas, Steve! He was good for Brum at Poole on the last meeting the track was an issue and got 9 (I think!) from reserve. I'd go 48-42, as not a form guide from Oxford yet to go on!!

You'll have to wait for Steve to log on for that!

Typo makes it sound Glasgow were first option hahaha

Yeah, should be good for a 10 point win.

Even more so considering he is prob similar to that age!

I don't use it for locally. I have the weather channel one on my phone. I just use BBC one for rest of UK! I always remembered BBC one was okay in the past. But obv not now by looks of it!

Okay fair enough then. I obviously misunderstood the statement!

I will ignore BBC weather in future!

As I've said my post was based on the BBC forecast which seemed to be wrong in the end. So now we know forecasts can be wrong, it is still crazy to think forecasts can still call meetings off day before or early in the morning. Luckily Sheffield listened to the right one. But good job not every club does this especially on Weds as 2 meetings would have been off which got ridden.

It's a bit of a weird grudge to hang on to! Sometimes guests score well, sometimes they don't. That's why they are a gamble and why some prefer using r/r.

Poor Ed. Hope he can get it sorted and not too painful.

Sorry but that does sound a bit lame to me. I'd be saying the same thing if my club did it. They do realise England is generally cold and wet in March, April, Oct. So really season May- Sept? But that never happens cos of fixture back log. So why didn't Poole rain off yesterday with 80% chance of heavy showers. Not light but heavy and they didn't even materialise!! It was really windy last night too but crowd wasn't too bad I thought. If you use that comparison it does look a bit ridiculous.

Exactly, 70% chance of dry weather or more most of the day. But if there is photographic evidence of the track super wet, I'll happily hold my hands up.

Ah yes but the chance of a wet night tonight are the same as being dry, that's the point. And then there will be fixture backlog again when weather prob even worse!!
