Interestingly, Oxford not yet cancelled on the same forecast I guess that based on previous history Oxford will probably wait until much later in the day before taking such a decision. Sometimes they get away with it but often they just annoy their fans by making very late call offs. We’ll just have to wait and see.

The track looked soft from Heat 1 and only got worse. Its the third time I've been burnt. As a retired single woman I am over £100 down on last night and will not give Oxford the benefit of my money on anything else but dry days. Leicester's promotion should be congratulated for making an early tough decision. I expect both clubs had access to the same forecast providers but Leicester made a professional decision for the good of their riders, supporters and bank balance. Oxford come across as a bunch of chancers who I suspect are already running out of date for fixtures for their three teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard and slick which unfortunately meant that the steady rain caused issues. Sometimes the weather goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. Had the rain held off for another 30 to 45 minutes then the meeting would have been completed without issue. Oxford tried their best and credit to them for that. If every meeting was called off at the mere hint of rain then not much speedway would run at all in the UK - certainly not during the current period of extremely unsettled weather! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
