Can you imagine England playing in the football World Cup final at Wembley while there's an FA Cup semi final going on at Villa Park, I think not... only in Speedway! Smh
There should be ample time, if they pulled their finger out they could be done and dusted by 12:30, there have been many matches this season done in around 90 minutes. Even if it didn't finish until 1pm that still leaves a couple of hours to get to Manchester or the Football with an hour to spare
Well... after the very best of Speedway last night, tonight is after the Lord Mayor's show.
There's been a slide off in every heat so far but at least it's getting done!
Track is VERY wet... riders stood around on the first bend
Riders now walking the track with, I assume, the ref
No, not the ref... just the Scunny riders
Stopped near me around 20 mins ago... some big puddles around. Under normal circumstances I suspect this would have been off... they're probably down pets r us buying up bags of sawdust right now
Looking at the met office rainfall radar and there's a big dollop of rain heading the way of Leicester, forecast is back to 90% chance of heavy rain between 6 and 7pm
