That will the photos that are doing the rounds. Looks spectacular just not typical speedway weather.

Heat 15 was torrential rain, how they managed to actually race was amazing as track was under water at that point, rest of the meeting was OK, just that last race.

How wet was it? Some of the online photos make the place look like a swamp. Ashfield is probably the best prepared track in the country it surely can’t have been as bad as the photos suggest.

What WWE?  No one expected Leicester to win at Owlerton on Thursday.  Did you think it predetermined that Bewley would chase Douglas for 3.7 laps in heat 15 on Easter Monday before passing him. Bewley certainly looked overjoyed, Douglas looked gutted. Don't think that was our on.

You're right. But the point stands that multi-use opportunities are there IF the owner WANTS to make a success of the stadium.

If fans are happy with a "boring" win, then I guess that'll keep the crowds coming. I'm very much more interested in the entertainment on show, than the result. While I'll tend to be cheering on one of the teams in action, I don't have "my team" to support (Rye House & Arena-Essex / Lakeside) so can understand why others would feel differently.
