It may have looked rideable but I was told it was really badly cut up by the end ( it looked f**ked were the exact words used) so carrying on probably wasn’t an option. -

Looking at the SpeedwayGB website. Poole are hosting one of the National League Riders’ Development Series meetings. This isn't the traditional National Development League Riders Championship, held at the end of the season for the leagues top riders. The fact that so many people can't agree, shows how poorly Poole explained the meeting in their announcement. -
I think Harris will score much more than that and it'll be a closer score, maybe 48-42 but I don't have a great record with predictions!

Nope. Definitely you who is confused. The NDLRC is a series of meetings. Poole are holding the first one. -
The difference is if you call off on a forecast and it doesn't rain, you just look a bit silly, if you don't postpone on a forecast and what happens like what happened at Oxford last night, not only do you look at bit silly but you've also really really p155ed a load of fans off! There really does need to be some sanction on clubs who can't finish their matches off once started. In F1 for example a track is declared wet or dry and different rules kick in once that decision is made, you could do something similar whereby the SCB declares a day wet or dry based on the weather forecast, if a day is declared wet, then a club can still run but if they don't complete their match they are sanctioned (points deduction or match forfeit). FWIW, I thought Leicester made the right decision yesterday based on the forecast... but I also thought Oxford did an excellent job in getting the meeting on... until it rained of course! But if you are intending to run in those potential conditions you really need the track equipment and make-up to ensure you finish. I'm feeling your pain! Ouch!

I went last night and it was shambolic. The track looked soft from Heat 1 and only got worse. Its the third time I've been burnt. As a retired single woman I am over £100 down on last night and will not give Oxford the benefit of my money on anything else but dry days. Leicester's promotion should be congratulated for making an early tough decision. I expect both clubs had access to the same forecast providers but Leicester made a professional decision for the good of their riders, supporters and bank balance. Oxford come across as a bunch of chancers who I suspect are already running out of date for fixtures for their three teams.
