flagrag 704 Posted May 12, 2014 Max Clegg is guesting I understand for Lee Payne tonight didn't have the best meeting for Leicester the other week but seems to have a bit more confidence now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 913 Posted May 12, 2014 Now brightening up and drying out, sun coming out, forecast is for it to improve from now with the chance of a few showers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted May 12, 2014 It Don't sound too optimistic . Fingers crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 12, 2014 Blue skies now and drying quickly. apparently track held up not bad but does depend on any more rain. Hopefully it won't be to bad. It was isolated showers this morning. Let's hope it missed the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 12, 2014 Not rained since this morning and road/pavements have dried up. There as been wind aswell so hopefully track will be ok It is going overcast though as I type. Hopefully just passing over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 12, 2014 Meeting G off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 12, 2014 We have had no rain for 4 hours. So why was it not called off at 9 this morning after the rain or wait till later on as riders are already flying now. Unless we had to wait for a bspa official to call it off which we didn't for swindon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,256 Posted May 12, 2014 There was some heavy rain showers yesterday and some more in early hours but this morning been ok. If track was bad should have called it off first thing this morning before riders started flying in. Last thing we needed as I can see us struggling to fit in home meetings before the cut off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodenspoon 157 Posted May 12, 2014 Just been on the Official site, no mention of a call off yet, as usual late with any announcement. Considering we have had over 60mm of rain in the last 48 hours, this meeting should have been called off first thing this morning. lets hope no Kings Lynn fan has left home already.

semion 2,192 Posted May 12, 2014 Reading this article below from the EDP, maybe NKI wont be unhappy tonight is off. Starting on Saturday (May 10) I’m riding in a pairs’ meeting in Germany, on Sunday I’m in Poland, on Monday I’m at Manchester (Belle Vue), on Tuesday I’m in Sweden, on Wednesday I’m in Lynn, on Thursday I’ve got the Danish championships, on Friday I’ve got the GP practice in Finland, on Saturday I’ve got the GP and on Sunday I’ll travel home. It’ll probably be the busiest week of my season. - Niels-Kristian Iversen was talking to Gavin Caney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,256 Posted May 12, 2014 Rain very localised apparently, bright sunshine where I am in Manchester but pouring down couple of miles away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted May 12, 2014 That's schedule and a half! But it's his job.... Too many meetings getting called off now, fans lose interest, potential new fans never get to see Speedway, losing its credibility as a pro sport...... Some tracks worse than others and absolutely no consistency in rain offs. Cricket used to be the most rain effected sport, they've managed to improve the % of matches played.. why oh why can't Speedway? Thought dirt deflectors were added partly to aid rider vision?

Trees 2,814 Posted May 12, 2014 Let's see if the old saying 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' works for speedway, ought to if it's an attractive fixture which I'm sure fans must have thought this was!
