Surely it's the team managers job to know that and act accordingly?

Herts Mercury Tweet says Great racing!

Not standing out in the rain like the rest of you idiots? Looks like Sheffield are in the hot favourites to go through. I bet Silver wishes he'd had this rained off now, If he says otherwise he's lying. Won't be the first time either!

He's averaging under 7 points this year, which isn't what we were expecting

It was Tweeted by Herts Mercury... Looks like their going the distance, to at least heat 10. I was all set to go to Sheffield on Thursday, but I won't bother now

Thought it was no rider at 2 and r/r at 5

Don't you start!!

No disrespect to those who are there, but I hope this is called off now

Copying to updates with your permission Travel sickness

You lose your bet... Hasn't been for a year or so now. They are using a different shale and some sort of binding agent in the water. Remarkably dust free these days, especially for evening meetings

Rain dance is working

That's us out of the cup then

Oh dear! Hows it looking weather wise? I should think Silver is doing a rain dance now

Welcome to Berwick Mr Kennett

Just heard it's hammering down half a mile from the track

Kids are staying for the weekend and have just decided they're not keen to go, so home we stay... To be honest I didn't really fancy it anyway, not in this weather!

Probably not aware it's a cup match

Bike trouble no doubt The BBC weather forecast has changed a little during the afternoon. Showers, some heavy, up to the scheduled start time, then steady rain for a couple of hours. I hope sense prevails and this meeting is called off, because it's gonna be messy out there and not much of a spectacle for the paying public.

On the plus side the early finish is ideal for schoolkids.

All I know he was tagged on Facebook at Rye House last night. Could be mischief making by someone though... My hunch is he's still in the UK

The only sensible way to decide the points if the meeting is rained off with the match score still in doubt is to share the points, 2 each. I should add to that, if one side is say 9+ points ahead they should get 2 points and the side behind 1 point.

He was at Rye House last night. Perhaps he flew out this morning

Thanks Bolly... Next on BBC1, Amateur Boxing, featuring Steve Boxall v Tyson Nelson. It says they're crap and their supporters know it

Over to Bolly the weatherman.....
