Is it a case of its tipped down in the last hour or another call off because it might rain ? In which case it could have been called off first thing this morning. Shouldn't you know,i thought you knew everything weather related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 25, 2018 Can’t tell with Kings Lynn. They normally call meetings off two or three days before. Long way to travel when there’s an unreliable promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 25, 2018 Good call. Some wont be happy, but it seems the Promotions are getting their act together and not asking the public to pay out good money for nothing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call me wolfie 677 Posted April 25, 2018 1 hour ago, Matt Ford Fan said: Maybe a UK visa issue? Could it be an average manipulation by us to get Chris in for Szczepaniak or Shanes. Maybe we are throwing meeting's away deliberately to fit Chris in for one of those. Its either one of the above that's for sure because he has been riding in Poland. Or maybe he just doesn't want to ride for you, it's no secret he wanted to go to Somerset with Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely they are solved in Poland He didn't have a passport, he now has and should also now have a visa. Can't see why it's still being referred to as 'personal issues'. Meetings are being called off this year if there appears to be anything other than a dry week, certainly at some tracks. With the weather being so changeable I think this could spell the end for Professional speedway in this country as we gradually lose any sort of continuity and the fans disappear. I've watched loads of rain affected meetings before and those run of very wet surfaces - many of which have been really entertaining.

semion 2,192 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) It is a shame for Holder really re-his passport visa etc. To think if his Great Grandfather hadn't been such a robbing old goat he could have been English and not needed one to ride here.

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted April 25, 2018 Another sensible call off. Everyone knows where they stand. The problem of course comes if they run out of dates when they could have run a meeting in damp conditions in front of a reduced crowd...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted April 25, 2018 King's Lynn Speedway @KLSpeedway 1h1 hour ago More BREAKING | KING'S LYNN have reluctantly taken the decision to postpone tonight's Premiership meeting with Poole. The decision is based on the Met Office forecast which suggests at least three hours of constant rain and more at key times this evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might also be a good way of prolonging the season beyond July, for some clubs, with less scheduled meetings this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,661 Posted April 25, 2018 It will soon become a problem getting these fixtures in on a Wednesday.Just had a quick look and we have 5 free Wednesday's up until the end of the season.Poole are riding on 4 of those Wednesdays and Wolves on 3 of them.What happens if we beat Leicester in the cup.I can already see Lynn will have to ride on an off night.
