    Should the OAP discount be scrapped?

    To answer your question: - When my wife was alive (she died in January), we were sensible enough to budget in the old fashioned way, of putting so much away each month for all the different utilities that we paid on an annual basis, plus so much for family birthday/Christmas presents, which was minimal compared to the other things. Now because the bills in the main, haven't started rolling in yet, when means tested, I was told I had to much money in the bank. I explained why it was there, but to them it's my money, which of course it is, until I have to hand it over to various people like British Gas, Anglian Water, Council Tax etc; etc: I can see now why years ago, when a Post Office Savings Account was the main way of keeping your money safe, many people used to stuff their money under the mattress, to coin a phrase, my father-in-law being one of them. But then of course, the country wasn't in the mess it is today, and we weren't ripped off by all and sundry.

    Should the OAP discount be scrapped?

    I agree. My total income is £7872 per annum as I'm on a reduce state pension. Just taking food alone, and I'm not exagerating (sorry not correct spelling), I have no other choice that to allow £115 per calendar month, so if it's a five week month, that works out at £23 a week, and that doesn't buy much. Sadly, there will be a great many people that are a lot worse off than me. Seriously worrying times. I'm lucky in as much as I work at my local track, but I certainly won't be able to visit any other tracks in 2023, whatever the price, and that's very upsetting, particularly as I'm widowed with precious little else to fill my time with.
  3. It certain isn't, with probably on three riders capable of scoring any points on the night. I really feel for Mildenhall and the public over the ridiculous situation they've been put in.
  4. Alex & Dale drove through heavy rain, but it appears the meeting is still on.

    Jubilee championship league

    It will probably be the Coronation Trophy next season.
  6. They've just managed to finish before Friday.
  7. King's Lynn once finished just before midnight some years ago
  8. That would be taking money off the public under false pretences. They don't have a time curfew
  9. I'll shortly be tucked up in bed in the warm and the first match is still running as expected.
  10. It's looking like this fixture will have to be run on the 31 October, as it's hard to find any other dates it could be slotted in. With Robert Lambert in the 'Aces' side for the rest of the season, it's bound to be a fairly good crowd puller, so I hope they get it run, before we all go into hibernation..
  11. He was in Poland this morning so I understand. He should have been there tonight as advertised. Quite a lot of KL fans disappointed.
  12. Klindt & Pickering out due to reported illness.
  13. KING’S LYNN: Richard Lawson, Thomas Jorgensen, Richie Worrall, Josh Pickering, Nicolai Klindt, Frederick Jakobsen, Jason Edwards. BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Charles Wright R/R, Matej Zagar, Tom Brennan, Robert Lambert, Norick Blodorn, Simon Lambert.

    Good Morning PotteringAround Firstly, thank you for advising me that I had missed the Belle Vue v Wolves meeting on the 13 June. I apologise for that, and have now included it in the averages below. Secondly, you are showing Kyran Lyden as having had 13-rides. But I've checked back over the referees programmes, and they show him as taking 3-rides at the four meetings that he rode in, making a total of 12-rides of course. Thirdly, you say that I included bonus points in my original posting, but that is incorrect if you look back, as that rightly or wrongly, is not the way the system works. If you should happen to find mistakes with the other clubs, I'll happily put those right if you are kind enough to point them out to me. Best Wishes.

    Just to select one rider at random I know that Tom Spencer rode at Wolverhampton on the 22nd August and Sheffield on the 1st September, if you could advise me where he had his third meeting that you are showing, could you let me know where please, then I'll amend my records accordingly. The other differences you say you've found, might resolve themselves from whatever meeting it was,. Thanks.

  18. I don't think the Sheffield v Ipswich (B) fixture has been raced either has it?
  19. It all gives season ticket holders a meeting they've already paid for. You wouldn't see any other sport season concluded incomplete.
  20. Whatever team Belle Vue put out, if in fact they do, the King's Lynn riders plus any fully fledged 'Aces' deserve to have their wage packet. Why should they be out of pocket because the meeting no longer carries any importance.

    Total waste of time releasing a statement like that, it just gives Swindon supporters false hopes. Once it's gone, it's gone.....sadly

  23. Could anyone tell me the winning time of Heat 15 please?
