But surely they would have put the covers down as they wouldn’t have know that for certain mid afternoon? Edited April 5, 2019 by Speedtiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I should of said was.. Dan will feel more comfortable on his home track, it's wide and has different racing lines, and he is used to how it is prepared. It should give him a bit of confidence.. Of course he needs time and no pressure, to regain his confidence and race fitness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyOne 126 Posted April 5, 2019 18 hours ago, Halifaxtiger said: Pretty useless if its raining at start time...………...which the forecast said it would be. And the forecast was right. Raining late afternoon... raining at start time... still raining at what would have been finishing time. And the temperature never rose above 4 degrees. Even if riding had been somehow possible with the superb NSS drainage (it wasn't), no one would have wanted to stand/sit out in that weather for 2 hours. Only an idiot would think the promotion didn't make the right call. (cue the forum idiot). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the point in FRN I guess it's early in the season so no riders will be missing from riding abroad or doubling up.Think FRN is a good idea as it should get rid of any rider clashes when all leagues are in full swing.

No riders missing but fans missing.. Already one fan on Facebook needing a refund as he has changed his working nights to a Wednesday as he believed Speedway is now ran on Monday and Thursday's..

Up The Aces’ Swings and roundabouts. This might be one the Aces lose out though. Whilst they'll be getting another two people attending from your group I'll be going on my own. The EIGHT others in my circle are NOT going - six have tickets for Man Utd v Barcelona and the other two have decided to stay at home and watch the footy on TV. Had Aces rearranged it for the following night Thursday - one of the advertised FRN after all - all eight would have gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
