  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. I'd say the crowd was about 25% down on Saturday's
  4. I think it was due to lack of will on everybody's part, was only a very light drizzle, match should never have started tbh
  5. Absolute shambles of a quarter final from start to eventual finish. Good luck to Poole in the finals
  6. I don't know why they don't make this an 11am kick off... everybody's happy then (except those that aren't)
  7. 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!
  8. 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
  9. Just letting folk know what the weather's doing less than 1.5 miles from the track...
  10. 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
  11. Lashing it down now... in Britain... in October... who would have thunk it
  12. 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
  13. It's 2021, it's not a newspaper, they could easily have altered it... They were quick enough to change the website when Godfreygate blew up
  14. Preview was posted before Ans accident last night
  15. Yes, I know all the reasons behind it... but it's the fans who suffer and the sport in the longer term
  16. If you don't get that, there really is no hope for you... smh Take your Leicester glasses off for one moment and put your Speedway glasses on
  17. This is part of the whole problem though, Scunny don't care about Leicester's crowds so send a team without Ellis, Leicester don't care about Kent crowds, so send a team without the Thompson twins, earlier in the season Eastbourne don't care about Leicester's crowds so send a team without Kennett and don't send 2 riders out in heat 15... etc. etc And so it goes on... and the crowds drop etc. etc.
