Leicester couldn't get a dry track in the play offs even with buster's help. If the rain is at heavy as forecast today it will take a lot of drying out before it can be worked on.

It's all about choices.  If it stops raining at 4am as forecast there are zero excuses for the meeting not to run.  There are reasons Ipswich might not want it to run but that's a choice. 

I also wouldn't blame them if they choose the call off route either, they should do what's best for them without breaking the rules, bending them though, yes why not lol.

They managed to sort this in May, tomorrow won’t be an issue especially with Phil Morris and Eurosport there watching.

That was the afternoon the day before though tomorrow it may be like that in the morning. Only just started raining.

It wasn’t speedy, they posted that tweet on the Friday, showing the pictures of the track on the afternoon of race day a few hours before the meeting. Still don’t know how they got that meeting on! And unless my memory is playing tricks, the track rode superbly that evening.

Yep, my mistake, I misread the tweet :( Ipswich almost always play with a straight bat though so I'm expecting it to be on tomorrow.

That was a remarkable effort

I think every effort will be made to get it on regardless of the impact recent events could have

It will be another packed out night with a fantastic atmosphere 

Whatever will be will be

Interesting as it was definitely Joe Thompson down to ride yesterday. They want Jack for Belle Vue Monday, so is there yet another rule hidden somewhere that we have to use the same rising star for both meetings??

8 day rule stopped Thompson

Another example of the poor regs

Within the sub sections that contain the 8 day rule is another that states the guest MUST be in current declared 1-7

In the RS section it states a RS guest MUST NOT be in a declared 1-7

Call it off now ;):P

Well its been raining since 5pm and will continue until the morning....Add this to the dodgy pit gate not allowing the track staff onto the track.. think thats the only option :blink:

 

As for the RS guest... Kings Lynn, Leicester and Peterborough have finished their seasons, so Louis should name one of Kemp, Rowe or Jenkins and see what happens..... if refused .. well they are in a declared 1-7 for the 8 day rule guest section...
