mervjankefanclub 48 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Bloody typical, sun has been shining for the last hour but the rain was awful prior to that. Gutted. Been the same since time and memoriam, it's law of sod, Heather ....I lost count of the number of times when I was a kid back in the 70s/early 80s when the speedway was rained off on a Friday night and I would just go out and play with my pals and the sun would be splitting the trees.......I used to think my Dad was kidding me on that it was off, just so he could go to the pub!!! ....and speaking of which, am off!!

tyretrax 2,253 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I know you go up early , did you see the track ? Heavy rain when I arrived, track looked pretty bad. Not much could have done whilst it was raining but they maybe could have when it stopped. They had three tractors going round tyre packing a couple of weeks ago and the track ended up on the dry side. Of course it turned out a nice night As most supporters have to travel a bit to get to the track maybe they could have held off a bit longer.

There was no rain at all in the city centre after that really heavy shower just before one o clock . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Topcat 58 Posted May 27, 2014 The rain seems to come through in bands believe me the track was not rideable at the time it was called off a got steadily worse as the heavy rain came down. Not so many miles away it was a deal drier but not so at Ashfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
