SoN in Manchester October 2021, a lovely weekend, July 2024 pished it down all week!

I don’t mind making myself look silly because majority of other people do as well… unless you’re perfect 😉 !

But then again, we could have an 'Indian summer' and have better track conditions in October than in August and September. A few years back I was on holiday in Suffolk in October and we had bright sunshine and daytime temperatures of 18 degrees. On the other hand, I remember an August one year when I went to stock car meetings with heavy rain that would have called off a speedway meeting on all 5 Saturday's in the month.

It does become more of a lottery weather wise the further you go through September and October but some of the best Speedway matches I've seen have been under lights on a crisp autumn night. With PL clubs limiting themselves to 2 race nights per week, without track covers, they are just increasing their chances of not being able to run.

Always best to wait for the official announcement of the dates, rather than making yourself look silly by ranting about something you have made up in your head. 😉

I understand what you say but my argument is that you push meeting to October and you’re asking for more issues in Britain, also, the difference from casual supporters turning up when the weather is bearable vs October freezing there arse off is night and day, this could impact the amount of people bothering to turn up and instead watching on TV in the warmth.
