So what about situations like last Wednesday when 5 hours of heavy thundery showers were forecast. The showers all missed Cowley and the heavy band that caused major flooding in King's Cross and several other places in the South East dissipated by the time it reached Oxfordshire. Would you have Oxford call off their meeting at 10 a.m. for fear of a fine? That would have deprived us of an entertaining meeting, resulted in extra restaging costs for the home promotion and caused considerable annoyance to the visiting Monarchs fans.

No idea but that was my first thought too.

I once saw custard powder used on the Poole track. (After that it was like a dessert )

I see crowd reported as 1931. No wonder the sport gets so little publicity. (South Shields in the Northern Premier League [tier 7] averaged more than that last year)

Or other riders missing.

Well quite, it is a ludicrous system

9.89, but still fits if Complin has replaced Bowtell

Rainfall radar suggests southern tip of the band of rain has passed just north of Lynn. So aside from a few odd drops it looks like it is staying dry. PS how pissed off will Eurosport be if it rains in Wolverhampton?

Gosh you are so right and I'm so

Team A loses both legs 44-46 Team B loses 74-16 but draws second leg then I think Team B goes through. R&R can you confirm that is how it works?

Just an observation, but rainfall radar currently shows no rain at all over Norfolk at present and all the forecasts predict minimal rain for this evening. Hmm.

Plymouth could lose both remaining matches and would still be 100% certain to be in play-offs.

How do you get to use a rider without a visa? (Legally I mean)

You could try: 1 reading my post 2 being less hostile

Indeed. One year (2012?) I went to the Danish GP at Parken and there was an 85cc Denmark v Sweden test match at Slangerup less than an hour away in the morning. Excluding parents attendance about 12.

I heard tentative talk of an under 21 test/ International challenge, but nothing seems to have come of it.

Long time since I've been to Glasgow and I seem to recall parking provision is not great, so with a big crowd expected what are the best options? (I have read Glasgow website, but their recommendations don't appear to have much capacity).

What and miss out on all those play-off guest bookings?

And to be honest I'd prefer to see Tom rather than Cook or Batchelor.

Flint (6.72) is higher than Brennan (6.62). (Batchelor at 6.65 just scrapes in) So assuming Basso is unavailable there is simply no reason to select a second Glasgow rider.

Light rain hardly enough to justify stopping (had they bothered to start.) Watching cars on Hillsborough Road, raining so heavily only 1 in 3 has wipers on.

7.30pm BONE DRY

So any suggestions for a fun night in Sheffield?

Not according to 'Racers andRoyals' on the Swedish thread. And he is never wrong.

11-16 August ... high summer. Six days and in the entire UK, just 5 meetings, one of which was postponed.
