    Thoroughly enjoyed that tonight we'll worth the journey. Racing was pretty decent with a couple of crackers. So as usual no gripe about the racing but as usual the running of it. If Phil Morris was there then the main thing is to get meetings started on time, get clocks for the 2 minutes like in Poland to stop the gardening, if riders arnt ready there out. Poor there was a hole on first bend but who knows maybe unavoidable. Not sure if it caused Nicki's crash. If meetings started on time and ran smoothly then no one would mind an interval. Annoying that most things speedway gets wrong could easily be put right

    I think you need to read what Martin Coleman wrote on Facebook and watch Robbo’s interview. The decision to cancel the meeting was made around 1pm after the track staff had been working all morning. They thought it could be saved otherwise they wouldn’t have been working so hard.
    Calling off a meeting is never easy. Calling one off when the sun is shining and there’s no threat of rain is ten times worse. 

    Ok thanks for replying il have a search, never an easy decision. Always easier if your not the one making the decision

    The negativity on this - from those that weren’t there - is truly disappointing. I flew into Manchester yesterday morning, collected a hire car and drove to the track. Like many, I was pleased that the weather was set fair but, as Martin Coleman has said,  yesterday’s weather wasn’t the problem. 
    As soon as I set foot on the track, and sank into it ankle deep, it was clear that, despite all the work done, it wasn’t fit for racing.

    No one calls off a meeting without good reason and the decision made, difficult though it was, was the correct one. 
    Here’s hoping that BSPL allow this to be run during the season, especially as there seem to be loads of gaps in the fixture list which would allow that. 

    Hi Gordon if it was clear to you the track was unfit for racing surely it was unfit for racing say 5 hours earlier so should have been called off earlier. Seems a bit strange but maybe the track staff thought it would dry out and be ok but seemed unlikely yesterday
