Mildenhall v Leicester Double Header. Sunday 23rd October.

[phillipsr 2,057]

Just over an hour gone and 7 heats completed!! Awful 

[Mimmo 1,070]

I'll shortly be tucked up in bed in the warm and the first match is still running as expected.

Absolute disgrace 10.35 pm and they still have 12 heats to run joke feel sorry for the riders and the poor people watching way to late seriously why are meetings being run this late in the season.

Are you there ?

That would be taking money off the public under false pretences. They don't have a time curfew

[The Dog 413]

Are there any public left watching??

Is this the latest a speedway meeting has ever run in this country?

King's Lynn once finished just before midnight some years ago 

[Mimmo 1,070]

They've just managed to finish before Friday.

23.55 meeting finished. Got to be a record for latest finish of a speedway meeting ?
And another example of atrocious organisation in the world of British Speedway.

Given the lateness of the hour and the tanking the home team were getting more than you might imagine.

More pertinently how many riders do Mildenhall have left?

[Clue: it was less than one and rhymes with bun]

[screm 8,057]

What a shambles, but typical of the way speedway is run and fans treated.

No I wasn’t but by the time it finished 5 to 12 I reckon I would still not be home by now to Plymouth.

Isn't this the stadium that was under the threat of closure due to late night noise issues, brought on by the complaints from a local resident?

I suppose though given they all seem to be struggling to finish the season in the correct month, finishing a meeting in the same day should be applauded....
