Another Leicester Speedway mess up I live a mile and a half from the stadium and it rained from about 3pm to 4:30 then dried up a bit and it's currently raining again with it looking set in for the night... totally correct decision.

TINYS 292 Posted April 27, 2023 They never called off meetings due to weather forecasts years ago because they could take the financial hit unlike today due to a lot less people attending meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I'm OK with it even if the rain hadn't turned up, which it has, it was certainly forecast to, a large band crossing the country. And they left it until the day of the meeting to make the decision. What annoys me is when clubs call off the day before based on a forecast of showers, which we all know can be hit and miss.

Another Leicester Speedway mess up I'm four miles from the track and it's been raining steadily since before first race time. I think you wrong to be so critical this time Lenny!

Guests in any position should not be allowed more the 4 rides. As I said, it was the flip side of the argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
