old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Well well it’s pouring down hard here, and I would have no difficulty accepting a call off decision if it were made this morning….but maintain my position (applicable to ALL clubs) that there are far too many premature call offs - dependent on the mythical “100% accurate” weather forecast.

edmon 166 Posted October 5, 2021 So Kent have bumped Armadale Devils from 12th October for Leicester. 2nd time this year a Scottish team have been moved for a Leicester Team. When and where this will take place still to be sorted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike.Butler 601 Posted October 5, 2021 perhaps they should decide the NDL by ppg (ppm in our case) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 6, 2021 Interesting if not random fixture change. Armadale 3rd in the NDL, Leicester at the bottom. NDL title chasers Mildenhall also to visit Kent in the last match of the season. Maybe Len will bill the Leicester meeting as a wooden spoon decider ? Maybe my sparring partner East End Fan has a positive spin on this move? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to me that our club are doing their best to solve an insoluble problem so, whatever they do is wrong. As things stand I doubt if all the fixtures will be run. As for the Leicester match, I am looking forward to seeing the Thompson twins and Vinnie Foord, for me the essence of what Speedway is all about. New kids full, of enthusiasm and learning their trade. It's what I love the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realistically Kent know they’ll not run one home meeting so have picked the least enticing one on paper, and with zero chance of any away fans coming, to not run. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have been better leaving for us as we are having to cancel cheap accommodation for more expensive . And the same night as the GB v Poland meeting along the road in Glasgow, so that's £25 lost as have ticket booked.
