How convenient, however the cynic in me thinks the Poole promotion realizing Redcar have a meeting at Oxford the next day thought... wait a minute... "how can we swing the odds in our favour".  What if Redcar had an injured rider or two.  As I said it's me being cynical, they wouldn't possibly hope for that..  Would they 

Exactly .Early call off will become the norm these days,can’t blame them really,all these moaners are sitting in the house with no intention of going to the match anyway.Anybody intending going won’t mind especially fans with distance to travel.Riders attitude nowadays can’t guarantee they will ride on wet track or if there is drizzle.

I can see the lead being overturned within six heats, home 4-2 in heat 1 and a 5-1 in heat two and its going to be a long night for us. 

Which demonstrates that price is a red herring when people talk about what to do to attract more people to watch the sport live. 

Met office is usually the most reliable in my view so understandably believed that one.

I like the concept of Northampton becoming a speedway track but looking at a map its hard to see where a "local" crowd will come from. I think its pie in the sky to expect Peterborough and Coventry fans to make an 80 mile round trip for home meetings.  Depending on where a Peterborough fan lives Kings Lynn or Leicester could be closer. I hope Northampton does become an active speedway venue I just hope they have been realistic with a business plan.
