Manager and Captain missing for the final... it's like when Darcy Ward got into a fight on the eve of the final a few years back... it's gonna be tough
Oh no! I'm not surprised, it's stressful enough being a Speedway fan, let alone trying to get these meetings on! Hope the lads can "do it for Stewart" and obviously hope the special one makes a speedy recovery
Good news it's 18 degrees in Leicester with warm sunshine and a strong drying wind, today's weather just may save the weekend's meeting as long as the rain that is predicted over the next 3 days isn't too heavy
We had a heavy shower yesterday afternoon and even the footpath outside my house (in the shade) hasn't completely dried out! That's why nobody outside our country runs important Speedway matches at this time of year, there's just not enough hours of daylight for conditions to dry out before the next dollop of rain arrives
If recent double headers are anything to go by, it'll be 1 hour 45 mins for the first meeting, a 40 minute track prep and 1 hour 45 mins for the second meeting
Usual warning applies... if you're coming to this (if it goes ahead) be aware that if you park on the supermarket car park there is a 4 hour time limit, enforced by cameras! History shows that running double headers at Leicester takes considerably longer than 3 and a half hours (15 mins each way from car park)
