Forecast has changed overnight and now heavy rain is pushing up the eastern side of the country. Looking at its track it will hopefully miss Leicester but Met Office do say an 80% chance of rain at 3pm before leaving a dry late afternoon and evening. Of course that means all of us Poole fans will be well on our way by then and it could be a totally wasted day. Fingers crossed it misses as we really don’t want to watch 4 riders wobbling around on a wet greasy track for the showpiece Championship Grand Final. What has caused all this is the jet stream position throwing weather front after front straight over northern France and the U.K. it’s stuck and will be for at least another week. Meaning warm above average temperatures on a strong SW wind but leading to lots of the wet stuff, torrential at times. Very frustrating. We are leaving around 11 am and the coaches at 11.30.

No more rain due of any consequence and a sunny warm afternoon now due with temp up to 20 degrees, which is quite astounding for this time of the year. Most Poole fans leaving around noon so if it’s going to be called off let’s hope it’s soon to save a wasted journey. What time are the gates opening? Parking might well be an issue.

Just watched the latest forecast and it’s a dry afternoon with a fresh breeze at Leicester so a good drying wind with temperature up to 20 degrees C . The issue is rain in the early hours, clearing by 10 am to leave a dry, breezy but warm day tomorrow, so there’s an opportunity. What we don’t know is how the track has responded today and whether they have managed to dry it out. Or simply bladed the slosh off to the inside.

Water the initial cause but perhaps if I the track had just been left alone rather than churning it up the damage might not have been so bad? So on BSN last night they were advertising the Premier Pairs meeting which is due to take place here on Monday night. Shouldn’t the Championship Final take precedence? If tomorrow is cancelled, then Monday should be the rerun date with the PP being put back a few days.
