Weather forecast doesn't look great, though it is worse earlier in the week and we might be ok come Friday. Fingers crossed. However if Friday was off, there would be problems in keeping the BSN competition on schedule. www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/2-2648579/United%20Kingdom/Scotland/Glasgow%20City/GlasgowThe next consideration is our line up. Will Lee be available and if not do we get guests ? With six Championship teams in action Boughen might be a good shout as a guest.

Weather scheduled has deteriorated drastically in the last 24hrs ( MET office) , but will see if any change again in the forecast after this storm has passed. I'm currently trackside all week so will have a daily first hand experience of weather predicted and what actually comes and with a bit of luck the storm will help settle the weather for a few days afterwards. The track has remained very firm throughout this wet wash out of an off season. But firm may mean rideable doesn't necessarily mean raceable and that's down to the riders,Ref and Promotion to decide if the track is safe and would produce a decent level of entertainment for supporters and not just 15 heats of gate and go,one line ,inside line hugging borefest. With only 2 call offs last season, and only 1 match abandoned the previous season I think we do not bad for a getting matches on while still providing at least some racing in less than favourable conditions but I'm sure everyone can understand just how challenging dealing with the weather is ,especially with so many factors to take into account on what is the best decision. Hopefully the weather settles ,otherwise this season could be extremely hard to gauge weather patterns. Yes we can have a guest , would doubt Boughen would ride for us / or that we would even ask him, if test results return and show no issue then Lee can ride,just a case of when he get the results.

Don't know that the promotion can wait until the riders and referee arrive before making a decision so it's down to them and you guys to decide early morning? Good luck. With six teams riding on Friday, the guest would have to come from Berwick, Oxford and Poole so who will we pick? What are the ramifications if the test results show no issues?
