Rain has me urghe east than predicted last night. Just goes to showhow inacurrate weather forecasting can be. Can’t see the point in not postponing this evening. A arly call when tee;s no chance makes sense. All very disappointing.

Forecast is changing all the time. No rain forecast tomorrow in Poole until afternoon, but too late now. Somerset might get away with it but the chance of rain in the evening, meaning if it isn’t called early there’s a chance of racing.

What a mess. Affect viewing as well.

All the Polish speedway live in HD. Cheap as well.

You can’t be that thick. On second thoughts...........

Were due there Monday gone not coming.

We are not riding agaist Wolves on Monday. Next Wednesday at Poole.

Think Poole is £18 as well. Looks like thats the price, same as last season.

With the Polish season just around the corner I decided to get myself sorted sooner rather than later. Last season I used Wijka.tv and never had an issue. Streams were high quality, didn’t buffer and were always online when I wanted to watch. But a few have said the service has gone downhill. So I decided to look further afield and was told about Goldvod.tv I downloaded the app to my kodi box, then registered. As a test I have just paid for a 30 day subscription. It was easy I just clicked the 30 day ebay voucher link, paid the equivalent of £7 and was instantly sent an email with a code link. Put the code in the box, press the button and voila! l logged on to Kodi, put in my user and password and I have full access. All the sports channels are there, nsport. polesat sports, elevensports, cana+ sport etc, plus a ton of other chnnels I won’t be watching. Just checked through the sports channels and all are working in HD. You also have an sd choice. This is a hell of a lot easier to subscibe to than my number one viewing channel, Sportsmania, which is excellent but only takes bitcoin. A right palaver buying bitcoins though I worked it out. will give a further assesment on Goldvod after next weekends action.

Wrong thread. Should be on the Wolves thread not Pooles.

Latest met office. It has the rain coming in for the afternoon. Originally the heavy stuff was earlier but they are predicting it will be further west now. all immaterial anyway as the call has been made. Don’t hold out any hope for tomorrow night.

Oh dear. Was it a premature call off? Forecast has changed and the heavy rain now isn’t due until the afternoon.

Well a real shame as Good Friday morning meetings are a tradition which always bring in very large crowds and its a treat day for two meetings. Be lucky now to get one.

Excellent showing Polish speedway live.

Absolute tosh. Coventry caused all the problems and were followed by a naive Rick Frost. He realised his mistake and back tracked but that idiot from Exeter almost brought about the demise of Coventry with his one man campaign which was not supported by anyone. He got his just deserts by being banned from the sport for life.

More chance Somerset will go ahead. Rain due to stop around lunchtime to give a dry afternoon and evening.

Yep. Lost my optimism now having seen the forecast for Friday. Be suprised if we see a wheel turned in anger anywhere.

If the meeting is rained off on Friday morning I wonder if the riders are available on Saturday or the Sunday. Both days are dry. With riders in the country perhaps it could be quickly re-scheduled? Obviously dogs might be in the way Saturday night but what about Saturday lunchtime? Or Sunday? Are riders booked elsewhere?

Been a dry sunny afternoon after a very wet morning. Roads are bone dry.

Chance of a shower in the morning. Should be fine unless the forecast changes.

The jealosy from the Poole haters is fun to read. Utter guff as any sensible person would know. Up the pirates!

Sensible decision as it was unfair on shorter riders. two minures is just that, two minutes. Garden your spot, but don’t turn around to clear your goggles.

Been out today to come home to three pages of absolute guff. all the Poole haters out in strength. Pooles fault Coventry closed, pooles fault clubs have folded, Pooles fault crowds are down, Pooles fault Trump got caught with a porn star, Pooles fault the Aussie cricket team got caught cheating.............ad nausium. Up the Pirates!

Ford is by far the best promoter in this country. Nobody else comes close. Its a fact that one some fans struggle to live with. If Matt Ford was promoter at say, Kings Lynn rather than Poole, I would be looking on enviously wanting my promoter to emulate what he is doung to bring success. Saying he is cheating/bending the rules / has his own set of rules etc lar dee dar dee dar, or any other rubbish thrown at him stinks of petty jealousy. People moan that the sport comes across as amateur, but when we have one seriously professional promoter, some fans don’t like it!

Forecast is for showers.
