Weather looks abit dodgy so I don't think  we will finish the meeting but I've got my fingers crossed it goes ahead. If we finish then I'm going for a 50-40 win for the lions

Leicester vs Belle Vue is postponed due to a poor weather forecast.

Good decision I reckon.

Another case for track covers with rain due to only be between 4 and 6... yet again all of a clubs efforts into an opening night gone to waste!

I definitely think leicester should consider it, but if it rains when the fans are just arriving, there isn't many areas of shelter.

Track covers aren't going to save every meeting, but they certainly will when there is just 1 band of rain sweeping across the country, which is often the case. Complete rain outs they're never going to save.

You would have needed a small dingy to have crossed the massive lake in front of the entrance anyway :D

The stupidity of scheduling league matches before April. Problem is the saturated ground that even relatively small amounts of rain will leave water on the top. They never learn

Track was in top notch condition last night, forecast rain between 4 and 6 shouldn't be enough to postpone a meeting in 2024, but sadly we all know it is. 

So a day spent yesterday telling all the press that speedway is back tomorrow night, getting their message out there for people to come, all for nothing... again!

Yes but they struggle to fit everything in before end of October, so need to start a bit earlier!
