The pressure would come from the riders... No ride, no pay.... They would very quickly get peed off riding for promoters who cannot fix pit gates, or cannot get broken generators working, or have floods in their car parks, or floods on one bend of their track, or call off meetings following weather forecasts several days out, or (fill your own personal favourite one in here)...

Sounds like good incentive for riders to tackle wet conditions rather than pack the bikes up as soon as there is a dark cloud in the sky -

Whilst I’m all for keeping things moving like the one point each with no re-arranged fixture (as with cricket), it’s difficult to see that approach working with speedway. When a cricket match is wiped out it doesn’t affect players pay. With speedway riders being paid for the points they score (from money coming through the turnstiles, although what percentage of that is relied upon I don’t know), are they going to take a hit? Would promoters be prepared to put riders on some sort of minimum guarantee for such circumstances? -

Petty sure not too long ago that there was talk about staging speedway at the new Wembley. Seems that’s all it was,talk.
