Blimey give the lad a chance,he has only been in the top league for a season.

I'm sure he said on Monday he was only available until May 1st.If you put a very lucrative sponsorship to him though Bagpuss he could well be tempted

So it is through injury now then.All the best to Kidemand.As i said though it didn't seem that he was going to join us anyway reading between the lines.

I didn't think he would last neither Bald Bloke,but i thought it would be through injury not because he can't be asked.

Who know's,Alex Brady is unsure himself when i listened to the podcast last week.

I have known a champions league match to be held up for 45 minutes before.A crash on the motorway held thousands up so they delayed the KO

Don't they do a track walk to get an idea of how the track may ride? A fair result,the Stars definitely deserved that one. Imo ht 11 should have stood after the first race,but i do agree with Brady in that it should have been re-run if Horley was on the ball and put the red lights on during the race to order a re-run.To do it after the race is just wrong.If she couldn't see the tapes from where she was maybe she should have gone with starting from the red and green lights.Don't think she even saw the massive jump in ht 3 from Kerr,or at least i didn't hear anything over the tannoy as that was pretty poor on bend 2. The Iversen thing in ht 13,i maybe wrong but there is something in the back of my mind saying that rule was scrapped a year or two ago.

I knew a rider doing this 20 years ago,it gives them a better chance of getting a team place the following season,plus they don't lose any wages.Happy days.

I heard the podcast too.Doesn't sound too convincing that Kildemamd will come.He is telling Brady he isn't fit when he clearly is.

That's Dale.

This is one of the reasons i am peed of with the decision to postpone over 24hrs before the match was due to take place.The forecast wasn't too bad yesterday,but as we all know come the day the forecast can be totally different.As you have stated the forecast has changed to 80/90% chance of rain showers.Who knows,the forecast could quite easily have been the other way round this morning and say 10/20% chance of rain.I'm all for calling early,but the day before don't sit right with me,unless of course they had days of rain beforehand that is then understandable. Incidentally i am 9 miles away as the crow flies and we have had a few very light showers,and 1 heavy-ish one but it is bone dry here.So i think they have got very lucky with the call off at the moment.That is the nature of showers i suppose. For the first time since i have been driving(36 years)i may choose to miss the re-staging as i can't keep throwing money away like i do for my love of speedway.I have missed meeting's before but not through choice.I have even come straight from hospital on 2 occasions to watch the Stars.I certainly won't be doing that anymore.

I will definitely lose £90 today,that's 4 meetings worth. We have had a few problems,but we have always managed to keep the works vans full of diesel . That's 8 vans at between £50-£90 a day

But if that was the case why don't they just come out and say that was the case.Would make things more believable than the weather report as it stands.

Blimey,i would be seeing 8 riders in the first race if that was me.

I had a similar thought in my head,although i was thinking there is maybe an airfare to be saved or something like that.

But now the re-arrangement is 4 days after the one on the 21st,this too will put fans off imo.

Absolute piss take imo.Yes there are meant to be some showers about tomorrow,but there was meant to be plenty of rain here today in Wisbech and all we had was a couple of showers. As i work Thursday evenings i gave my shift away to another colleague.So i have now chucked £90 away because it may rain tomorrow.I could understand if the forecast was atrocious but it isn't according to the Met office and accu weather.The Bbc has more showers but they are often wrong. It's got me thinking going forward,do i ask people to cover my shifts on Thursdays or not now.I mean they have called this one off with over 24hrs to go because we may get some rain.Let's be honest we live in the UK,there's a bloody chance every day of some rain.Are they trying to piss fans off and drive them away from the sport.I love going to Lynn to watch my speedway,the team has been in my blood since the 70's.I would always try to get someone to cover my shift but i can't keep knocking back a wage just in case of a suspect cloud could be heading our way.Well i will be there on the 25th,but on the 21st who knows.It wouldn't have bothered me about 2 meetings in 4 days,in fact i would have been over the moon.Now though i have a decision to make,the long range forecast has to be pretty much wall to wall sunshine for me to risk asking someone to do my shift and losing £90.

Blimey,if he is washing his hair on Monday he may miss our home meeting against Ipswich on the Thursday

Whilst it may be cold at the speedway,you would save a fortune by going and not putting the central heating on.

It is isn't it,never nice being ill.

Fair enough.

Could averages come into play when changes are to happen again.This could scupper things,if things take longer than expected.

Maybe some fans don't go to P&P now because of social media.Plus with the Kerr meeting on Sunday many fans have seen the riders in real action. Back in the day when P&P was well attended you couldn't get to see anything online.Now people expect it to be online so they don't have attend a P&P. There is a good and a bad side to social media imo.

Whittlesey then through Coldham would be my choice

Roadworks at the leverington turn off in Wisbech are now gone,this should ease the congestion considerably around Wisbech.I can't see there being any problem on Sunday traffic wise through Wisbech.
