I believe the rain started some time between 6 and 6.30, so the turnstiles were already open.

Are you suggesting that once it started to rain heavily they should have close the gates and leave people standing in the rain ?

Everyone will have a readmission ticket which can either be used for the rearranged fixture or refunded so it's not as if the club have gained by opening the turnstiles.

The only winners last night are the stadium owners who would have gained rental income and sold food and drinks to the punters.

To be honest there needs to be a way that in the event of the meeting being postponed any travelling supporters are entitled to a refund. That way you may encourage additional supporters to a travel.

Yes you would still be out of pocket for the fuel & food etc but at least the admission fee would be coming back to you.

According to the website 

Discussions will take place with Ipswich regarding a restaging date in due course.

 

Why not arrange the re-staging there and then, when all interested parties present?

14 riders who ride for multiple clubs in multiple countries, plus managers, plus mechanics, plus stadium availability- would suggest that would be more than a 2 minute chat unfortunately

But the conversation needs to take place sometime.

Quicker and easier than when they have all gone their separate ways.

Rider dictating when they want to ride or go home ,what’s new.!

It wont be racing ,will be the excuse.

Everyone when the track needs work done so late it means the riders want too go home, 9times out of 10 the meeting doesn’t go ahead.

100% as soon as the rain came in certain riders had it fixated into their minds that they weren't going to ride no matter how much track work took place.

Especially with it being a GP weekend as well.

Posted on the Sheffield website around 10pm last night :

If anyone has difficulty in attending the restaging date, supporters should e-mail re-admission ticket details and bank details to office@sheffield-speedway.com and refunds will be issued once it is confirmed and announced.

Maybe they are hanging fire till after next Thursday ? If Sheffield lose at Ipswich then this meeting won't influence who meets who in the playoffs, so it can be 'cancelled' and remove the need to delay the start of the playoffs.

If it's cancelled, would be unfair to season ticket holders, and anyone in attendance, as re-admission tickets only valid for re-staging.

In which case everyone gets a refund, and they allow season ticket holders free admission to the play off semi. Not difficult really.
