PLYMOUTH promoter Mark Phillips has postponed the Gladiators\u2019 opening two home meetings of the season.<\/p>\n
Extensive work has taken place on the Coliseum track over the winter but unprecedented rainfall totals in recent weeks have hampered efforts to put the circuit into fully raceable condition.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the BSN Series matches against Poole this Saturday (March 30) and Oxford on April 6 are to be re-scheduled.<\/p>\n
