In a huge blow to the Club, Friday's double header fell foul to the weather.

Although hot sunshine was beating down upon Armadale Stadium in the late afternoon, a thunderstorm brewed to the north of the stadium just before 6pm and rain began lashing down with spectacular lightning.

With the track having been prepared specifically for the threat of rain, it held up extremely well to the deluge and most riders were keen to take to track once the rain stopped.

Sadly for everyone, the rain continued past the viable start time for the double header and both matches were called off.

The Club is endeavouring to reschedule all fixtures before the Cab Direct Championship cut off date on September 10th and more details will be announced in due course.

Those with ticket or live stream bookings have already been contacted with details on what they can do. Anyone who hasn't received information should contact the Club for details.
