From the pictures I've seen, the track didn't look that wet.

Big issue for Ipswich now, is the next time it's wet fans may be out off travelling, not wanting to risk another wasted journey.

It wasn't.

Duplicated

6 broom sweepers, 5 male and one female. Each with the objective of brushing the standing water to the kerb and ultimately in to the drain. One decided to brush the opposite direction to the others and brush the standing water out all over the track. 
 

Guess which one it was?

It didn't need a blade, the track was fine. However we know about Aussies and wet tracks 😉 The track is smooth and consistent, the tail ways the dog again - a ref on the 80s-90s wouldn't have called that off. Those that turned up to watch will think again the next time there's a shower on the forecast and who can blame them. 

It really a joke now.They don’t even want to get the Kevlar dirty now. Why not give a couple of riders a couple of laps to test the track turn the dirt over( if there’s any).Been there too many times now,I certainly don’t leave the house now if there is cloud in the sky.

They interviewed Simon Humphrey-Kennett on BSN and he said that, unlike a clay surface which is hard, the heavy shower had got into the track surface and it was too slippery. All the riders were in agreement to abandon the meeting.

The Ref will never overrule the riders nowadays.Health and Safety rules these days.

And that's why it's crumbling as a sport. Riders have too much power.

Wasn’t this fight in Manchester Co-op live though!? Another reason why fans can’t go to speedway in manchester, too much going on in good ol’ Manny! 😉 They even pack out a boxing arena and sing “oh Fabio Wardley”! From us in Ipswich, thanks for your support!

It was a pleasure to support him for you, great fight 😉

Not even Ipswich Speedway! Some people have too much time on their hands.

The Board of Directors....

most of the more senior riders dont want to risk getting injured.  they should have at least sent a couple of riders out to do a few laps to test the track.  it was a bad look
