Speedway was profitable back then.  Nowadays we fly in a load of riders from abroad 

It's normally much drier in Sept & Oct when the meetings will be run, silly trying to do that in late spring & summer.....  In other news, recently watched the British Final from 84, run on a very wet Coventry with KC and his broken leg.  So if we used to get meetings on in the wet before but don't bother now, what's the preference?  For me, it's the former, with regular meetings on and postponements a rarity.  I'm in the 1 point each and not re-run them camp to focus minds.

It’s looking very wet on Thursday to be fair

Well.... Plenty on here moan about missing regular Speedway (like in the Good Old Days)... So. Pretty soon they will have Monday, Thursday, Monday, Thursday, Monday, Thursday, Monday, Thursday, at home every week for a whole month...😁

Do you have an emergency supply of those Mondays and Thursdays you mentioned 😆 

Exactly.  Fuel isn't the only cost: "Driving a petrol car in the UK costs roughly 15p to 20p per mile for fuel alone, depending on your vehicle's efficiency. However, the total running cost (including tax, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation) averages about 49p per mile. "
