For those of us not too happy about the change of race day management could have at least told us the starting time so we can have a think about how we can fit it in to our plans. Should help them too. An early publication of fixtures would also be useful.
All the comparisons to Laurel and Hardy are completely unjust. Remember that Laurel and Hardy were talented people trying to look like fools whereas the people running the sport are????
I went to the abandoned match myself. Forecast was not too bad on that day and the downpour caught most people by surprise. What was also annoying that by having to wait for re admission tickets to be stamped on exit took considerably longer to get out than to get in.
Will Buxton complete their home matches? Nearly October now. Four home matches outstanding. Four Sunday's in October but no fixtures at least as per website. Don't think there has been an official date for Buxton v Stoke National League.
But if it did get called off after race 6 the promotion would not incur as much costs as a full match. Can remember meetings when it was raining and announced AFTER race 6 the ref would inspect the track usually to moans from the fans. Could just as easily inspected the track one race earlier.
