So they will still get to the GP challenge even if it is postponed. I'm sure they would all prefer a safe dry track next week. The weather down here is horrendous. Would rather see a raceable track than a 'rideable' one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can hardly have been anyone in the UK and central europe, over the past few weeks, who hasn't been directly or indirectly effected by the need to cancel or change travel plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track drainage will only take so much, if all the drains are full it's just going to back up. We had floods last Thursday, it continued to rain on Friday, it has been consistently raining for the last 36 hours and it's due to continue overnight until tomorrow morning and be dull for the rest of the day... I fear the damage may already be done for Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Just move it to King's Lynn and get the season done because the weather isn't going to improve at this time of the year. Chances of Leicester pulling back the defecit are slim anyway because not only are they 18 points down but they also won't have any Home track advantage after the amount of rain the track has taken over the last week. Belle Vue would have to do one of the biggest chokes in Speedway history to throw this one anyway imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of rain here over the last few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youhave2minutes Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) With no doubt the Aussies in both teams will be eager to return home ready for their summer season. So if cancelled Thursday it could end up a farcial situation.With both clubs operating with 6 man teams or guest riders Edited 14 hours ago by Youhave2minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had about 50% of the entire months rainfall in just one week and twice the amount of what Manchester has had for an example. It's been the wettest September in Leicestershire for over 20 years. I'm not entirely sure what people think we could do realistically to make it any better? Edited 14 hours ago by 40-38 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stbender Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago According to my forecast the last rain fall will be around 11am tomorrow morning in Leicester. Should this be true maybe a few volunteers can bring their wives hairdryers so we can help dry the track out 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTFC LION Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Just to let everyone know, all that can be done is being done. We have had unprecedented amout of rain this month. Last Fri I pumped off any standing water, Saturday I let it dry , was best to stay off the track, you can do more harm than good if you try and work it while it's to wet. Sunday I worked the track for 6 hours, it was bladed several times, wheeled many times, spun in, then graded, finally packing it for an hour with the lorry, if I knew how to post a pic of how it looked on Sunday I would, it looked really good. Monday and today we have had nothing but rain! My pump has been working since a week last Sunday. Sam has been up today to get any surface water off, horrible job in the wet and cold. As soon as is possible the track will be worked on tomorrow and Thurs, we are trying, very hard !! 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
