You mean this extract from the Advertiser. "Swindon team manager Rossiter felt it was the right decision to call off the fixture as neither team was comfortable on the track. “I’m bitterly disappointed. The rain came down and it was very hard,” said Rossiter “While the meeting didn’t mean anything, I didn’t want to call it off but both sets of riders didn’t want to ride."

Gresham78 215 Posted September 6, 2018 Why is it when it rains we have to go through this pointless ritual of getting the tractors out to try make the track raceable? It must have rained for about 20 minutes and you could see the water lying on the track. But we have to wait until the referee, clerk of the course, Rosco,Ronnie Russell and anybody else who wants a say, have all said their piece just to decide the tractors should come out. All they do is turn over wet shale. If they'd ridden on it, it would have been like ice and somebody would have been injured. It was obvious after it had been raining for 20 mins it wasn't going to dry out, so why waste everyone's time trying to return the track to a raceable condition? As per usual the long suffering Speedway fan gets shafted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
