Edinburgh
Meeting Off
Posted 18/03/05
Tonights Spring Trophy second leg meeting
at Armadale has been called off due to the poor state of the Armadale
track.
The call off was made official at 4.45 and is believed
to be more down to rain earlier in the week than today - the track
has been unable to copy with the torrential rain of Wednesday and
Thursday despite sterling efforts from the track staff.
It does make you wonder if the building of the houses
right up to the perimiter of the Armadale circuit from the south side
has had an adverse affect on the drainage at the West Lothian Arena.
No date has as yet been announced for the re-run
although it is unlikely to be in the near future as Edinburgh do not
have a free Friday until the 13th May.
It also means that James Cockle will now have to
sit out the Workington home meeting on 27th March to complete his
four meeting ban, meaning that he will not now be starting his season
until the home meeting against Hull on 3rd April.
