And forecast locally to get stronger in the next 3 hours 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems that in modern day speedway we can't run because, the wind is blowing, rain is forecast, the sun is in the riders eyes, it's too cold, it's too hot, the car park is soggy, the trees are swaying, the swimming pool is flooded etc. It's quite comical to read Edited April 6 by iainb 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so, if the league is the most important, why not start with league fixtures to ensure they are all done? The BSN is designed as an early season competition. Whenever league takes priority, fixtures get pushed back & we end up getting all finals raced at the end of October / November / abandoned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahahaha UNLUCKY I'm not the one weirdly laughing and using capitals in some kind of deranged post expressing happiness that a meeting has been cancelled because they think it upsets somebody living in Leicester... but if it makes you happy, I'm happy for you I had a wasted trip to my living room to watch it!
