I get the flat track will bring extra revenue in, but surely giving them a date this early into our new season is a bit of a brain fart. Everyone knows the weather at the start of the season is horrendous up here, so why not keep it a free weekend on the off chance?

Because a bird (the flat-trackers' rental payment) in the hand is worth a couple (the rain-off possibility) in the bush......

By renting out the track and potentially profit on food and drink keeps the Comets alive 😀 annoying but the club needs extra money away from speedway

Yea maybe not a spectator thing, but the flat track organiser rents the stadium for ££s but organises everything else, the running and insurance etc, so it must be a good money earner for the home promotion

Hopefully we get some better weather this week and we can get Press and Practice in. Personally i'm itching to see our 7 out on track in the new club kevlars which I have heard good things about. Should be some really competetive meetings this season. UTC 🤘

Nowadays you have to take into account riders availability these days.Schedules are often worked around them these days.
