The only other league sport, that I can think of, that is so badly effected by weather is Cricket, they don't faff about trying to rearrange matches etc. Points are divided up and everybody moves on... Cricket seems to be doing quite well these days with their £880,000,000 4 year TV deal 🤔. ... still, we know best 👌

I have to say Wembley, in its later years wasn’t the greatest track for racing ! To be fair with the modern style of speedway , the Manchester raceway is the best track for racing that has been used in the UK. As a “stadium” honestly Wembley has to be the best - with its huge capacity and atmosphere, and ability to handle the huge crowds. manchester is only half a stadium and has little atmosphere in comparison with industrial units surrounding half the site, and poor crowd capacity leading to high ticket prices. Glasgow is mooted - good track but again poor crowd capacity leading- high ticket prices . with a 6 team premier league lucky to have 2 GPs in the UK tbh. -

stupid was probably worded badly by me, but he must understand that with speedway, a sport where weather plays a massive part that promotors have to go go with what the weather apps are telling them, any rain that falls, can be as little as 0.1 mil can affect the attendance 10 fold. im sure he wants to change the way the sport is run and i hope he is successful in doing so, hes got good vision it seems but having a little bite at teams early postpoments was not necessary for me -

Now your talking General the old british finals at Coventry what a great day out 10k plus would turn up, you had Silver, Havelock, Wigg, Tatum, Morton and loads more in with a shout of winning brilliant days. I was 16-19 when I used too go with my best friend and his dad, my mates old man was an utter loon behind the wheel and I always remember the carnage of getting out of the car park after the meeting when he would be doing his biscuit and battling for every inch of space spare heading to the gap out of the field with 5,000 other cars.
