Bagpuss 10,687 Posted August 23, 2018 If Lynn are forced to go there with riders missing then so be it, that would be preferable to the match not being ridden. Less than ideal but more credible at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,883 Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Somerset have virtually offered Lynn every Monday and Wednesday available (even getting Leicester to go to OTA last night, to free up yet another date) but the people at KL - and it isn't necessarily Buster who's being their idiot - have been totally ridiculous to deal with. The Rebels have finally demanded that the Management Committee step in, and set the date. Somerset totally innocent here, the KL camp totally stupid.

Bagpuss 10,687 Posted August 23, 2018 We need to hear the Lynn side of the story but IF they have been offered every Monday and Wednesday and won’t come then tough luck, Somerset should get the three points. Had thought the same as the above poster, Mr Chapman leaves that kind of thing to his co promoters so he has probably had very little to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the meeting got called off on July 11th.Somerset offered Lynn all the available Mondays and Wednesdays.So the dates available was July 18th.That's it,one day was the only time both Somerset and Lynn weren't riding.

Dates must of been included for Somerset to run a double header when King's Lynn wasn't riding. That's 2 other dates as the 15th and 20th August. To get this fixture in, a Tuesday may be ideal. Somerset without Doyle, King's Lynn without Lambert so fair and square. Edited August 23, 2018 by Daniel Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think they would have wanted to run a double header?You could count the 20th out,they wouldn't have run a double header with BT there i'm sure. Wouldn't Iversen be missing on a Tuesday also?

Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted August 23, 2018 Just now, racers and royals said: No - he rides for Smederna and they are in the QF’s over the next 2 Tuesday’s We'll go without him too, just go there expecting nothing and pick a load of Championship guests. We need to get the fixture done and try to finish top on merit rather than stopping a team riding all their home fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't have thought they have to take one.You know what would happen the home team would probably pick the dates where the away team are at their weakest if they could.
