Adam Ellis rode all season as second string Danny King rode 95% as a heat leader Danny King got a higher average than Ellis riding in a harder position Yet people want Ellis back but not King … as a second string Danny would be fine This is nothing against Ellis who is be happy to see stay but just to gain perspective

The track must be in a bad way as the forecast tomorrow isn't to bad. That said it's looking likely to be dry Friday to Sunday which gives them 3 days to get the track ready, Monday is dry apart from a bit of forecasted light rain for an hour or 2 in the morning. Should be no excuses for Monday.

My guess is (sorry to repeat previous) that the drainage itself isn't as much the problem. it's more about being able to empty the sub-track tanks if the vehicles required to be filled with and take away water, and those required to do track maintenance, would need to be driven onto and along a track which is still very soft from the huge amount of recent rain. We wouldn't want a speedway match to be run, with riders having to go either side of a marooned lorry partway along the back straight. The way the money was raised to finance the building of Beaumont Park may have been questionnable, but it was fully privately-funded and didn't have the benefit of any provision from public funds. While it's true that the land it occupies is owned by the local council, the stadium also had to be fitted into a tight space, with restricted vehicular access around the perimeter, especially to the north where the perimeter is an industrial estate. Almost every year, work has been carried out over the winter to try to improve the track and drainage. But sometimes you can't overcome the effects of Mother Nature, so this decision is completely reasonable and sensible.

It's only because we had a months worth of rain in 24 hours... there's never been a match cancelled at Leicester because of rubble poking through the track

Was more curious if fitting the top 4 together would be possible but doesn't look bad (or likely), just a bit of a long tail. Doyle 9.36 Sayfutdinov 9.12 Brennan 6.59 Musielak 8.21 D Thompson 3.11 Edwards 3.57 J Thompson RS 39.96
