Suppose you could put that down as the most expensive p!ss you've ever had?

It got called off at lunchtime, long before anyone sensible would have set off for the meeting, unless you are coming from outside the uk.....

Tell that to the Newcastle supporters who arrived at the gates

Two miles from the track and it was a steady drizzle from 7.30pm onwards , with a deluge at 8.50pm. So weather forecast was correct, early call off correct  and if you can't be bothered to check websites before travelling  boo hoo!

Did Newcastle not run a service of this kind a few years back?

Yes they did but I could be wrong but was it just for home meetings only.I remember when you used to ring a premium rate number to listen to commentary trackside after every 4 heats and get the scores and scorer’s etc.

That isn't the point though. I don't mind travelling only to discover the weather intervenes, it happens and I would check in advance. If promoters pick and choose for whatever reason, then so will I. Even more galling if I was local.

I’m just baffled that they’ve come from Newcastle when the meeting was postponed at 12 it was posted all over Scunthorpe and speedway GB social media along with the Scunthorpe speedway website! What more could be done ?!

Why would you check though? There was no real substantial rain forecast, it seems these days if you do decide to travel you must stop every 15 minutes to check it's not been cancelled on a whim

The forecast did get worse and I’m about 10 minutes from the track and the meeting could no way have gone ahead
