John Leslie Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Correct. Both Stoke & Buxton following the latest trend to call matches off a day or two in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbogge Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 All well and good to call off two days before event but no reason given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 All well and good to call off two days before event but no reason given they have given a reason on the buxton website. the rain that both tracks have taken in the last week, and rain forecast today and tomorrow won't allow them to work on the track.

Derek 613 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Both websites are saying more or less the same Edited April 8, 2016 by Derek 613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 John Leslie - Both clubs have agreed that with the weather as it is and what we have had previously over the last couple of weeks the damage is already done. This week alone we have had rain, sleet and snow in Buxton. There is no way we can run at the weekend so why not let everyone know. Don't see why we are criticised for letting people know in plenty of time, damned if you do and damned if you don't. Some had pre booked accommodation and hopefully an early call off gives everyone chance to change their plans and not waste their money.3 Fredbogge - a press release explaining the cancellation was distributed at 12pm today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayne Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Even the bangers that race on tarmac got cancelled last week due to snow!!! Gotta love british weather. They did indeed. The snow last week caught many out and people were stuck in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrscambelt Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Good luck to Ben he has done more meetings since he left Eastbourne then Eastbourne have done since he left, wish him all the best, seems he might even go to stoke later in the year all local to him such a lucky lad, but i guess good riders are in demand still cant seem to get my head around why he never went to Belle Vue but they still have not had a meeting yet.

psycho3a Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 My Kids a hassling me to take them to speedway but at age 6 and 3 night meetings are out of the question so i thought how about Buxton, Fairly close etc... But then checked the prices... although the website is showing 2015 admission surely thats not correct £12 adults seems steep but then £3.50 per child !! thats more expensive than going to EL Or PL speedway.... or have i missed something ?

mrscambelt Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Kids are normally free to the age of 12 so in your case most places are freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its Buxton that are missing a trick here. £12-13 seems to be the going rate for NL speedway these days (although i think it should be £10 across the board) but as posted above most places are free for children under 12 and some up to under 15. Not sure how you would get on putting your children on each others shoulders and employing the long coat technique? In all seriousness im very surprised Buxton operate this way in regards to children charging as they come across as a down to earth family friendly club.

Reviresco Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Good luck Ben, only another 9 clubs to go to get the full set. Yes, good luck to a good bloke. Never say never on doing the full circuit in a season. Ben Hopwood the 2016 nomadic speedway rider. Good luck to Ben he has done more meetings since he left Eastbourne then Eastbourne have done since he left, wish him all the best, Good point Mrs. C. Pleased its worked out for Ben. Not sure how you would get on putting your children on each others shoulders and employing the long coat technique? Had a chuckle at that image S4K, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
