Kings Lynn v Leicester Wednesday September 5th double header

Recommended Posts

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   :nono:

How many teams have had to arrange double headers this season and how many have had/are having a second double header - just the one #justsaying

King's Lynn don't have to run the double header against Leicester but they didn't want to leave it to chance.With actually riding the 2nd meeting on the actual cut-off date.If Somerset,Poole and Swindon didn't run on an off night who's to say they wouldn't have needed a double header.

Correct - it’s Kings Lynn - no one else!

If you struggle for a lift, maybe the x1 coach would be an option?

Great service and regular runs. Get off at the Southgates and you are only 15 mins walk from the track. Quite cheap for a taxi from there I imagine.

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.

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?

In 8 weeks of June and July we rode in only 3 matches,   we had  3 cancellations,  ( Leicester(H), Somerset(A), and Rye House(H))    in what was to be the best summer for some years.    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.
