Rightly or wrongly, we are in the situation these days where the decision on whether to run a meeting or not is decided on the basis of the weather forecast. You would think that the most reliable source would be the Met Office, their forecast predicted impossible conditions for speedway so I don't think the promotion can be blamed for their decision. As it turned out, had the meeting started at 7.30 prompt (as I think it should every week!) then its possible the meeting could have been completed. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing! 

I would wear the chocolate hat!

No it doesn’t, how much merch is seen worn inside the stadium ? Very little, I’m not having a dig at BV this is every track, it doesn’t have a brand or an identity, my son has a belle vue shirt and he is one of the very few who wear them on race night, the brand is what sells the team 

I agree with that, supporters dont have that bond with their clubs that they used to have. When clubs had riders that were their riders that had an affinity with the club it was different, Belle Vue had Wilkie, PC, and Mort, Ipswich J Louis, Sanders, Davey, Kings Lynn Betts, Lee, Leicester Wilson, Coventry Boocock for example, fans and riders had that loyalty to their particular club. Today the riders are hired hands in comparison, but you could say the same about football too, times change and loyalty today is to Poland and the big money. Cant blame the riders considering the risks in the sport.

Talk of Ipswich roughing up the track, i dont think theres any need for them to do that to pull back six points against us, given our performances at Foxhall this season and our weakness at No2 and 6 and 7.
