We have a problem
 
I've been informed today that the cricketers have booked all the Sundays ten till teatime, from the 22 Jan to Easter at the Coney Green Campus we used last year.

What are we going to do ?

Sack it, stay outdoors! It rains less in winter! :D


Thought you were going to say the Astros nicked or something

Is it possible to use the other indoor venue at Farnworth that was used once last year?

i would just run a winter series save the clubs money on renting a hall coventry and kiddy run outside all winter if its to bad the weather you just dont run that week

Given that we are looking into sorting some 'weather proofing' for the rostrum and pits anyway, and that the track itself drains nicely I don't see why we can't run outside in the winter.
I remember as a kid Springfield used to run outside all winter and we were rarely even rained off.
The one thing we could really do with is power to the cabin though - a steady supply of cups of tea and a microwave to warm up some sausage butties is all you need when its 2 above freezing!
3 lap penalty for anyone using poncy transmitter muff too.

That said - I'm a bit miffed cos I'm sure Rog and I booked dates with them for this winter. OK we only penciled it in, but they should have let us know!

We should deffo run outside it cant get anyworse than what we have run in upta now. Plus we could make snowjumps :D

tisher 14-06-2011 06:37 PM

coleman758 14-06-2011 10:34 PM

They could catch fire, fall to bits and still beat your B-Max's :thumbsup:

Si Coe 14-06-2011 10:41 PM

We'll see. 10.5t vs 5.5t and I bet mine is still faster.......

The race controller 15-06-2011 01:14 PM
