That's what they call progress I suppose. Back in the day at least they had a go. In F1, for example, when it starts raining they put wet weather tyres on. In Speedway we do nothing, just make the engines less and less rideable unless the track is perfect and the rider is near world champion standard and get a job lot of tyres that also need the track to be in perfect condition to ride... have you ever asked yourself... why?

I'm not the one weirdly laughing and using capitals in some kind of deranged post expressing happiness that a meeting has been cancelled because they think it upsets somebody living in Leicester... but if it makes you happy, I'm happy for you I had a wasted trip to my living room to watch it!

Not so much Leicester fan... more BSN subscriber

It seems that in modern day speedway we can't run because, the wind is blowing, rain is forecast, the sun is in the riders eyes, it's too cold, it's too hot, the car park is soggy, the trees are swaying, the swimming pool is flooded etc. It's quite comical to read

That's the world lumberjack championships cancelled then

If you're going to wait for perfect conditions to run speedway in this country you can forget it. Everybody seems to be an elf and safety fairy these days... god help us if we have to goto war again! This country's screwed, we seem to be breeding a generation of complete pussies! It's not really a club loyalty issue, I'm the first to call Leicester out when they've ballsed up, which generally is quite frequently

Swimming baths flooded and under water, that's a good thing isn't it? The issues with the track last night were nothing to do with what happened 7 days earlier, there's a fundamental design floor with the track and the drainage isn't good enough. I think at this rate you'll be lucky to see any Speedway in Cumbria this year, if they're going to cancel because a bit of wind is forecast

Any other sporting events in the region cancelled because of the weather warning?

Looking at the forecast this morning, were they a bit previous calling this one off?

From what I saw on Good Friday the 2 lowest points on the track are the two most crucial i.e. entry to turns 1 and 3, this is where any excess water gathers and isn't draining properly, leaving the material in to the turns spongy and excessively grippy

Rory Schlein commentary... nip, dip & tip

Another week, another shambles at Speedway HQ

That aged well

It's already put me off!

Tuesday? I thought it was impossible and completely out of the question to ride on anything other than a Monday or Thursday?

Nope, it's off already

If you'd tuned into Sports Day on the BBC News channel at 6:30 yesterday you would have seen a report on the World Coal Carrying Championships being held earlier in the day... and no, sadly it was no April Fool

I expect him to come out and face the fans and or press, like he does when we win, and explain what he thought went wrong and why and what the prospects are for the 2nd leg, just like a team manager would in any other sport. For you to accept silence is a pretty blinkered and naive view, obviously he can do no wrong in your eyes and doesn't need to answer to anybody. Another year goes by without any sort of cup run!

It's easy to come out and take the plaudits when you've won but you earn your coin commenting on losses. No quotes from him on the website either. Is there any other sport where team managers get an easier ride?

The captain and the manager missing from the face the fans session after the meeting!

Thought "smiler" Hawkins had thrown us a bone there putting Rew in 14, turned out to be an inspired move... At least we're not Birmingham

Looks like we'll be concentrating on just missing out on the play offs again this year

Is the non use of the automated start system a knock out cup thing or a tonight at Leicester thing?

But it'll be free

Day time meetings at the NSS are not normally the best anyway, was coming up for this from Leicester, but after attending the fiasco at the real HQ of Speedway, Scunny, on Good Friday I shall not bother with this.
