Although, to be fair, a couple of Prem matches were delayed this season because of problems on the roads, which prevented access to the stadium. Plus, speedway is nothing to do with football - or any other sport. It's British speedway tradition for the parade to be part of the meeting, i.e. Ipswich speedway has always advertised the start time as the time of the parade, i.e. 7:30pm and first race at 7:45pm. I really don't see what the problem is - in the list of British speedway's problems, this must be rate in the bottom half a percent. Most people that are late to Football matches is because they leave the pub with just five minutes to KO!! Agree its really scraping the barrel of finding something to moan about - I think every speedway match i have attended has had a parade of the riders first unless the prospect of rain has mean't it's been cancelled. Nowadays football matches often end until just before 5pm - in the old days they were done and dusted by 4.45 with perhaps no more than 1-2 minutes extra.
