Or is it just a rumour. Depends if you count Bomber as a guest LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Nick Morris, Jake Allen, Dan Thompson. KING’S LYNN: Nicolai Klindt, Thomas Jorgensen, Frederik Jakobsen, Steve Worrall, Michael Palm Toft, Craig Cook, Jason Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wished that if a team brings in a guest rider he should only be allowed to be used in programmed rides. Not as a tactical and not in heat 15. If at reserve only the regular reserve be allowed to have extra rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be harsh if you have a free scoring reserve who might take up to 7 rides to then be penalised to only allowing a guest to only have 4 rides. Just the flip side of that argument.

Lenny Lion Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Just over an hour to scheduled start time & not even a hint of rain. It is overcast but can see the clear skies behind. Another Leicester Speedway mess up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Leicester Speedway mess up I live a mile and a half from the stadium and it rained from about 3pm to 4:30 then dried up a bit and it's currently raining again with it looking set in for the night... totally correct decision.

TINYS Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 They never called off meetings due to weather forecasts years ago because they could take the financial hit unlike today due to a lot less people attending meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm OK with it even if the rain hadn't turned up, which it has, it was certainly forecast to, a large band crossing the country. And they left it until the day of the meeting to make the decision. What annoys me is when clubs call off the day before based on a forecast of showers, which we all know can be hit and miss.
