Thanks for that link macca56 which I hadn't seen before. Great race.

I don't think Sam had much choice in the final decision. Didn't he go back to the USA and the track he had planned was altered and all done when he got back? If they had stuck to his design there probably wouldn't have been all these problems about the shape. Is it me or is Starman contradicting himself?

Looks horrible Lisa. I should think he would need a skin graft as well?

I did think it was a bit strange in the build up to the match to use a photo showing what looked like a half a mile queue snaking down the path towards the shopping centre. That would be enough to put me off going not encourage me to attend. I can't comment on the match because I haven't got Sky but pleased to see the Lions won.

OMG! Poor Kacper.

Nothing to stop you putting a link to a photo on Facebook, Twitter or other sources. It's only photos directly onto the forum that aren't allowed. Personally I much prefer race suits to a race jacket when team mates are wearing different coloured leathers. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150150480337785&set=a.10150148628652785.325833.550797784&type=3&theater

Gary Havelock?

Always one of my favourites because of his style of riding.

Probably just a bit of extra confusion to stop fans printing their own programme.

Looks like I won't be getting a headache then.

Is that Cookie?

Can someone post her quote when she replies because I'm afraid I've got her on ignore as all the full stops give me a migraine.

Ah.....now that's strange because that was my first thought but then I deleted my post and tried again. We're not supposed to put pictures on here because of bandwidth but you can always put it elsewhere like Facebook etc., and then give the link to it.

You've gone and done it now ~ there will be a lot of clicks on that link.

Good. Sensible decision 'cos I can stay in now and watch Corrie. Must be hard being a promoter on days like this ~ try to get the match on like Leicester and then have the few hundred brave souls who have turned up standing around in the cold and wet before calling it off at 8pm, or cancel early enough to stop fans travelling. Thank you Coventry. Now that's a good idea but would there be enough time to organise everything and get the track fit for racing after all the rain that's expected tonight? I wouldn't have thought it would be that simple. Go into My Profile ~ Edit Profile ~ Photo.

Yes, but thank goodness I'm not a miserable old sod.......yet.

It's a real pleasure to look in on Coventry threads these days. What a load of negative miseries. I think it's more to do with the riders vision so the track doesn't necessarily have to be waterlogged before being called off. Rider power and all that.

Great detailed post as usual SCB and I'm obviously not going to quote the whole lot but I'm interested in this bit because I thought Kildemand didn't even know Poole had signed him but you say he agreed. Oh yes they do. Even I can remember who were runners up in 2010.

So what is the reliability 48 hours in advance which seems to be the point at which Sky decide whether they're going to turn up or not?

Have a quick wizz through when you've got time. I know there are some of Bruce Penhall in the Superstars event that are in Speedway Photos (One). Also some action ones of Cradley Riders in Black/White Speedway [1]. I've got my settings on public so you should get straight through without being a member on Facebook I think? https://www.facebook.com/janet.hambleton/photos_albums

Typical Speedway weather when it's hard to decide what to do. It doesn't look too bad from this forecast, but it is raining a bit at the moment. https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/hourbyhour/l/Leicester+LCE+United+Kingdom+UKXX0079:1:UK

Thank you. There are a few albums devoted to Speedway. Just ignore the family ones because they're full of dogs.

Glad you liked them.

Hope your armchair is comfortable as you might have a long wait.......until Wednesday actually.

Some strange people about. Gustix liking this post.
