Oh no! I'm not surprised, it's stressful enough being a Speedway fan, let alone trying to get these meetings on! Hope the lads can "do it for Stewart" and obviously hope the special one makes a speedy recovery

He's got 2 "assistants" that do the graft for him though hasn't he?

Good news it's 18 degrees in Leicester with warm sunshine and a strong drying wind, today's weather just may save the weekend's meeting as long as the rain that is predicted over the next 3 days isn't too heavy

We had a heavy shower yesterday afternoon and even the footpath outside my house (in the shade) hasn't completely dried out! That's why nobody outside our country runs important Speedway matches at this time of year, there's just not enough hours of daylight for conditions to dry out before the next dollop of rain arrives

It has rained... a LOT! And it doesn't really dry up that quickly at this time of year

Sunny and drying up slowly. Supermarket car park LE4 1DE - 4 hour limit!

...or what Jubilee

I also know the likelihood of the Jubilee Trophy being completed is almost non-existent

If recent double headers are anything to go by, it'll be 1 hour 45 mins for the first meeting, a 40 minute track prep and 1 hour 45 mins for the second meeting

Report: we've had rain through the night and this morning

Usual warning applies... if you're coming to this (if it goes ahead) be aware that if you park on the supermarket car park there is a 4 hour time limit, enforced by cameras! History shows that running double headers at Leicester takes considerably longer than 3 and a half hours (15 mins each way from car park)

4 meetings

After about 5 or 6 races at Poole if your back wheel isn't on the fence you can forget about it

That's right, it's because we don't want to serve up a 1 line track like you have at Poole

Not on the met office app it's not, forecast is for possible light showers on Monday and Tuesday

It's been a lovely day

I know people will cite examples from occasions down the years when competitions have been completed late in the season but since the introduction of the pay offs it seems to be happening EVERY season. Before the pay offs the leagues were often settled long before the final weeks of the season and it was just the KO Cup that got pushed to the end... now more often than not it's the main competition itself.

On a serious note... how on earth are clubs supposed to "promote" their biggest matches of the season at this time of year... it's totally ridiculous!

Nothing wrong with that track, looked good enough to... eat Looked like a lovely chocolate cake

Is anybody going to start the discussion about Wednesday's weather forecast?

Double header with Cubs vs Mildenhall

I can't work that one out, will he or won't he? Personally i don't think he will, he's often mentioned he doesn't like British tracks... which says a lot about his current performances imo

Will probably be combined now, meetings count for both... a convenient get out

Don't see why not... it's only concussion that keeps you out... I think

Somebody should have told the authorities!
