g13webb 4,254 Posted September 1, 2018 I'm not saying it was right to play that fixture, merely pointing out we were running out of available dates on the calender to reschedule it. Yes we could have used Tuesdays and Thursdays, but then again, like you we would have had riders missing. This ridiculous fixture schedule was created because the BSPA weren't strong enough to enforce them FIM guidelines... Just another example of the tail wagging the dog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get off at the Southgates and you are only 15 mins walk from the track. Quite cheap for a taxi from there I imagine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) The x1 runs every half hour. If you get off at King's Lynn Station, its a 25 min walk , but if your thinking of a taxi, there is a taxi rank there. Cost of a taxi to the stadium will be around £5- £6. Edited September 3, 2018 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kickitov 104 Posted September 4, 2018 Anyone know if it'll be R/R or guest for Proctor? IMO a guest would be good simply because it's a double header. Adam Ellis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the team is expected to ride 4 meetings in 3 nights as the consequence of these stupid FRN's .. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket !! its ridiculous to expect this from the riders or machines. Like Bagpuss has mentioned, just hope everyone come through unharmed from this terrific schedule, and we achieve the honour we will so rightly deserve. I sit here and wonder what is the thought pattern of those who instigated these FRN, will they be thinking all's well that ends well, or will they be thinking what a bloody mess this has been!! or will they be thinking they couldn't give adamn... But nothing can hide the fact, that this fixture schedule is a complete and utter shambles ……. It has nothing to do with FRns; it is bad fixture planning and the bad spring wet weather which could occur on any date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 5, 2018 Adam Ellis in for Ty. Much better than RR in a double header. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
