Elite League Best Pairs

ANY time of the year surely??

 

The only thing more likely this time of year is that it won't be t-shirt weather

 

 

lol that much is true, I think KL had more rain off's than anyone last season, was kinda hoping the weather might be kinder to us this year

 

Well might be wet t-shirt weather if you don't take a coat, but watch out for the chapel hat pegs

So can we hear from people who were there please?

 

was the track completely unraceable, or was it the usual riders ganging up and persauding the others it was not safe to ride, as happened at Poole a couple of years ago?(because they were due to fly to Poland in the morning) Looking at the weather radar there's hardly any rain in the KL area now.

track was looking good, it was nice and sunny, and then the rain came, what more can you do?

 

Well there is nothing anyone can do, as they say s**t happens

track was wet but there was enough shale down to soak a lot of it up and was still pretty firm.

thought a few laps would have cleared the crap but the riders decided to get the harrows on it to rip into it which seemed to make it worse.

after that, we then had another downpour and that was that.

As i was leaving the stadium,Mike Bennett interviewed a very angry Buster. Buster wanted to address the crowd to say that it wasnt his fault the meeting was cancelled and that it was a few of the riders who didnt want to ride. He sounded pretty annoyed beacuse he had done so much work on the track and he beliveed it to be rideable. Then towards the end of his interview he declared that he was going to put Kings Lynn up for sale. Whether he is being serious or just a spir of the moment who knows..

funny how after first downpour they were ready to have the track graded and start racing yet 10 seconds after it started raining again they all sprint to get there gear packed away. the picture at the back of the programme summed up how it used to be, we will never see that again.

Track looked great when we arrived at 5 o'clock, sun was out, was very windy too. To be fair the weather that spoiled it WAS forecast, it was just a case of how localised and heavy the showers were going to be. Just unfortunate for all concerned, but hey that's speedway.

No Premier League meeting would have been called off tonight, that's for sure. The track to me looked raceable let alone rideable. I can understand Busters fustration but all tonight has proved to me is that our club doesn't need the Elite League. All EL riders can go namby pamby off in there own back yards. Even the Ref seemed to want the meeting to continue but the pussy riders know best.

You can hardly blame him for being angry really, and I am sure we will find out soon enough if KL is up for sale or not.

We were told by Mike Bennett that some work was going to be done on the track and the riders would give it a go as they wanted to ride. A second shower that lasted literally 10 seconds and we were told that the meeting was off . Draw your own conclusions

Sounds a complete carbon copy of the ELRC at Poole a couple of years ago, when it was on Sky. A coup[le of the riders didn't want to race as they had Polish commitments the next day. The track got wet, the staff worked on it. They said they would give it a go if it didn't rain again. Just as they came out for the first race, a light shower past over. You would have thought that Noah was going to appear, the speed the riders moved. It past over in 5 mns but that was it. They were off and there was no stopping them.

 

 

Fans ripped off. Poole promotion frustrated. Sky TV fuming.

 

Sound familiar?

Its normally one or 2 riders who moan and the rest follow suit.

Any guesses?

Grumpy and Hans are the usual ones unless anyone else knows any better.
