It goes from bad to worse at the Hotel. The Manager’s Van has broken down so he cannot get there this evening. The new Russian Chef they have hired has gone down with food poisoning. Two employees tested positive for excess alcohol in their system last night. They should be ok though as they have just carried out further tests this evening, at their own expense and are clear. I’m so glad we don’t get any of this kind of nonsense at Speedway.

Agreed. Maybe no club can accommodate Steve’s holiday requirements?

Agreed it was (once again) a total shambles yesterday. One look at the track and it was obvious there would be no Speedway. It was also of great concern that young and inexperienced riders were allowed to prove it! Goodness only knows what would have happened with four of them on the track at the same time. The shambles continues today with nobody knowing whether there is going to be a restaging (obviously not at Leicester) or precisely what significance is to be placed on the meeting at Oxford tomorrow should that go ahead. I just get the feeling that fans apart nobody is in the slightest bit bothered by all of this.

Over the years there is also plenty of precedence for not completing competitions so I guess they’ll make up whatever suits them at the time.

I doubt many of us were too surprised at what happened today even though we possibly still retain a capacity for being disappointed. Unfortunately there are not so many of us fans left now to take advantage of as so many have been driven away over the years. I think the KO Cup should be awarded to Mildenhall as Leicester presumably will have to be sanctioned in some way for failing to complete their fixtures. As for the Grand Final I guess that it will be over one leg at Oxford on Tuesday. If that doesn’t take place then I suspect it will go to Leicester for finishing top of the league. Maybe though they’ll do rock, paper, scissors, best of three!

Vinnie managed to complete his laps without falling as did Max Perry (who looked very stylish) and Dan Thompson (who looked somewhat disinterested). Ashton Boughen had two falls and Tom Spencer and Max James one apiece. Max J’s heavy fall pretty much signified that was the end of any hope of the meeting starting. Jordan Jenkins was the only Oxford rider to put in some laps.

That probably explains why they were not letting anyone in at the advertised gates open time!
-
It’s off - postponed to 3pm tomorrow!
-
On that basis hopefully we’ll get an early decision to postpone.
-
No surprise it’s off at Leicester on Sunday. At least they didn’t wait until start time this week. Over to you now Buster!
-
That being the case let’s hope they have the decency to call it off well before start time this week.

With regard to Tai’s comments. He sure is a great rider but one with an extremely limited range of vocabulary which probably explains his difficulty in communicating without expletives.
