It doesn't matter how many leagues next year, if tracks are still going to run with inadequate medical cover, nights like last night will continue to happen and fans will steadily stream away from the sport, the only saving grace about last night was that it was quite a pleasant evening. And for what it's worth I thought Bates move on Nicol was a kamikazee move

See you next Friday

It was before a load of them left... Probably to never return

God has spoken

The forecast I've seen says stopping at 17:30 Either way you've got to wonder after the amount of rain we've had both yesterday and today what forecast they've been looking at... especially after calling a meeting off earlier in the season based on a forecast when no rain came at all, if they've not called it off by now surely they're not going to

... And we all know how transparent they are! I'm still waiting for the publication of the inquiry into the cancellation of the televised ELRC from Coventry some 6 or 7 years ago before even a race had been run Don't hold your breath

Also some highlights on

There's some Swedish speedway on free sport this week

I notice that Rohan Tungate has some coloured sponsor stickers on his bike cover... Don't tell Cookie!

Of course I reached a decision on what I heard, it's what I and other people do in life, what would you want me to do? Reach a decision on what you didn't hear?

So what you're saying is, you knew what he meant even though you weren't there and didn't hear him say it and even though I was there and did hear him say it I didn't know what he meant... unbelievable!

Where's Mick?

That's funny because I heard it with my own ears

No, just a return to winter conditions... DD was justifying the decision to call off Saturdays meeting though by saying that even though the rain didn't arrive it was cold and windy so they did the right thing

it's happened to us all over the years... and will happen again, the crucial difference being that it had actually rained and the promotion didn't call the meeting off, they were justifying it last weekend saying they did the right thing because it was really cold anyway... so by that logic, will Saturday happen?

The weather forecast for this weekend is predicting a cold snap... Best start to think about calling the Eastie match off!

It looks like we're now calling meetings off because it's too cold

It didn't really start training until around 10pm

We'll never know how many would have turned up last night but the facts we do know are that it didn't rain last night, the meeting could have been completed last night and the crowd was well down this afternoon compared to a normal Saturday evening crowd. I have to say though this afternoon's match was very entertaining, the best yet that I've been to at BP this season with some very good racing, it's just a shame there weren't more there to see it. Also a shame that EP didn't complete his max in heat 15 and the track could have done with a sprinkle of water during the interval.

You should see how many are here... Financially ruinous The fans have voted with their feet... Some others think they know better though

Thanks for going back and editing your original post to throw some abuse at me... You can't run a sport, especially in this country, based on weather forecasts as they invariably change as time moves on. You may not have anything else going on in your life but many others do and make plans around fixtures... The clue is in the name.

The problem is... If you're going to start cancelling meetings based on weather forecasts you may as well do away with the fixture list.

It wasn't a complaint... just a statement of fact

Another meeting they could have run

If there isn't a cloud in the sky there will inevitably be a sun delay these days!
