Apart from that race of course

It's a travesty that a track that can and has produced some fantastic speedway racing down the years, more often than not doesn't these days

Flint

Oh stop moaning!

I've put my money where my mouth is Lisa... I'm sat in the stand among the meagre crowd

Weather forecast is deteriorating

Parking is probably £1.50 then

Any team news?

it's changing by the hour though... now 50% chance of light rain by 8pm and 90% chance of heavy rain by 9pm

Peterborough are a track that cancels on forecasts, 50% chance of light rain from 6pm... at the moment

Because there is life outside of Scunthorpe... this was due to be on BSN, which is probably why it's had more interest

I love a good conspiracy theory... is that a man wearing a badge hiding behind the grassy knoll? It does look remarkably dry in the photo though

Who could have forecast that?

Calm down dear

Yes but you're not only 2nd guessing the weather, now you're 2nd guessing the promotion as well... probably safer just to stay at home unless there's no sign of rain on the radar

I agree, but clearly times have changed with the drop in crowds and no drop in running costs calling off meetings based on weather forecasts is now how they operate. I do think it would help if the powers that be could get all their ducks in a row so we as fans know where we stand

Didn't really look that dodgy though earlier in the day yesterday

Not quite as cut and dried as that though is it... you'd obviously look at the forecast, in the good old days you may have looked at yesterday's forecast and thought, chance of showers, if they get one, unlucky, the track is going to ride heavy, not, i wonder if they'll call it off anytime between when i leave and when i get there even though there hasn't been any rain

Thanks... actually didn't know you could do that, perhaps this needs to be more widely communicated to fans... it does mean you get bombarded with all posts, suppose you could turn it on while you're travelling though... not sure what i do about Birmingham or Leicester though as they've blocked me

I agree... when do you check though? Once you're on the road it's difficult to keep checking, illegal in fact without continually stopping to check every 15 to 20 minutes if you're travelling alone. Surely in 2022 the technology exists to message subscribed fans when a meeting is called off. A WhatsApp or Telegram group for example. There's obviously a need for something or fans wouldn't continue to turn up when a meeting has been cancelled hours beforehand

Oh yes... you get to see Superstar Sam Ermolenko in full flow in his "office" on his telestrator... it's definitely worth the subscription fee

I can hold my piss from Leicester to Scotland, no problem! Though it sounds like you couldn't get by Donnington services... maybe get your prostate checked?

Well, is the fun fair there or isn't it? I ain't going all that way, only to find it has moved on!

yep, that's fine, now everybody knows that if you're travelling down from Newcastle to Scunthorpe (by car) that if you check their socials by 11:52 you know it's defintely going to be on unless it actually rains, at least we now know where we stand...

I don't think the issue is were they right or wrong, it's when does a fan check and get a final decision on whether to travel or not? 11:52 apparently, if everybody knows it's 11:52, fair enough, call every match off... as long as we all know where we are
