Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted March 31, 2022 Brass monkeys out there alright! Supposed to be pretty windy today too so factor in the wind chill and it’ll be pretty painful standing around tonight. Please just crack on with it and don’t pi$$ about with a bloody interval.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted March 31, 2022 We've woken to a covering of snow and hail & sleet showers this morning FFS. Enthusiasm for standing in the cold at speedway is zero at the moment but we'll see how we feel later..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a Good Friday when some of Leicester team couldn't get to King's Lynn because of snow blocking the A47, I've read. It gave Mike Lee a chance which he grabbed with both hands. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was there that Good Friday morning Lee rode for KL and if my memory serves me right Lee beat the then England captain Ray Wilson 2 or 3 times though I guess some would argue Wilson was passed his best still a great achievement for a 16 year old on debut . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bash 496 Posted March 31, 2022 That snow won't be there long, they've only called it off as it's cold and probably won't get a good crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
