Mr Bee Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 When will British Speedway ever do anything professional? The first announcement should be on an official platform not the BSF. Pathetic. Facebook says it's on, the away manager says it's off, The Echo asking who's going, silence from the home team other than telling us the teams first thing this morning. FFS. Shambles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Club have just called - it’s off. No re-staging date and no coach planned for re-run! Clearly some discussions going on behind closed doors currently. Edited October 30, 2022 by Pirates Of Poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justathought Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 LEICESTER Speedway are devastated to announce that Sunday’s Grand Final double-header has been postponed.Despite our best efforts the track is simply not drying out and cannot be made raceable by this evening.The club will now be bringing in a motorway blade in order to re-lay the circuit.Details of a re-staging date for this week will follow later today. .

Pirates Of Poole Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Motorway blade now coming in and track to be re-laid. Why wasn’t this done 8 days ago after initial rain off? funny how I suggested this late last week and certain fans in the midlands shot me down for even suggesting it!

Not if its after Oct 31, as season/contracts end then. Leicester will be granted a facility, given what's been allowed in the past when seasons have over-run. As a footnote, even the most rabid BSPL-haters must surely admit that this quite exceptionally-wet October is hardly the fault of the speedway authorities ...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 A totally dry day in Leicester and they can't prepare a track that'll be ready. They need to be better prepared in the future. Tomorrow is different, heavy rain forecast right at the wrong time, 6pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather isn’t the fault of the authorities. Planning is though! And all clubs must share the responsibility of what is now happening, delay meetings due to riders being unfit etc hasn’t helped. Lesson’s must be learnt but like year on year they never are and I’m sure in 2023 this will happen again.

Steve Shovlar Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Well I posted it was off nearly an hour before it was made official. I don’t understand why there was such a delay in getting it online. Takes a few seconds to type it and post on Twitter, then a few minutes to get it on the website. Next Friday is the date at the moment though surely next Saturday would mean a bigger crowd with more travelling support. As for getting a blade in to remove the slop, why has it taken so long for the bleeding obvious to happen? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
