Maybe KL cannot get any guests cause all available riders are in Busters black book

Perhaps some people would have more sympathy if dubious calls hadn’t happened in the past - yes I no this call off is for real but in the past there been some very dodgy call offs notably  the pit gate incident. Ipswich should be awarded the points but then that’s unfair on season ticket holders .

I don't think this is comparable though.....they've gone to the BSPL/Phil Morris and sought permission to postpone. I'd agree with Ipswich being awarded the points if that's what had been decided, but at the same time season ticket holders and the riders themselves (particularly those on fat guarantees) lose out. Sanctions had to happen in order to deter clubs doing it in the future. I think the chances are miniscule but if Lynn were to win the restating then Ippo would have every right to be mightily peed off. 

Definitely feel that there is something we're not being told as one guest and R/R isn't enough to cancel. But it's pretty clear we've never been told the truth about Laguta's absences.

There can't be. There isn't a definition of competitive/non competitive nor can one be practically written, what's the cut off point?

Used to be 30 points team average or something like that

Of course Buster has form:

 

22 August 1992.

King's Lynn v Reading

Awarded 75-nil to the Racers after Chapman unilaterally cancelled the match because Loram and Henka were unavailable.

Exactly, guests can always be found, & the money he would have saved if Laguta was missing would have paid for decent guests & R/R for Laguta. Another nail in the coffin of British speedway.

There must be more to it imo. Not just TJ and NK out. Otherwise they would have been made to run it.

Why must there be more to it and why is it always Lynn and Buster with the drama? Who else has postponed meetings for any reason other than the weather? The bloke lies about heart attacks, lies about broken pit gates because he’s missing a few Danish lads, and has form (as shown above) for postponing meetings in the past for not legitimate reasons for postponing meetings! The bloke is a pi$$ taker pure and simple.

That’s Busters problem and down to him to reimburse those affected! You don’t run the meeting you forfeit the meeting simple as that.

I can’t see the Stars in top flight next season. Doubtful in my book as to if they run at all. As it stands, Premiership would be a 4TT. Is there any appetite from Poole, Glasgow to move up? What happens if they say, no thanks?

So you just submit a team that is under that and say anyone else is unavailable? It's not like the BSPL can ring every available rider and check 

It's simple the fixture goes ahead or Ipswich are awarded the points

Why would they ? They want a play off place - bet Witches fans are pleased Chapman didn’t get his hands on there club or they’d be in the same mess as Lynn and Pboro 

The best thing that never happened he would have been a disaster 

[FromBendThree 145]

Don’t forget Keith Chapman was not planning to run Kings Lynn this year nor was he expecting to have to bail them out.

What's the penalty for pulling out mid season?

What’s that got to do with him postponing this meeting because he’s missing a couple of riders? Totally irrelevant.

More to it... Because the postponement wouldn't of been allowed with 2 riders missing imo. Wouldn't you agree?

This crap was put on Buster, for no fault of his own (this time). Brady was running the show, picking the riders and doing the deals and paying them.. He had to jack, and that left Buster in the crap, with an overpriced team, he can't afford.  TJ out ,Klindt out and Barker breaks his collarbone. On top of any problems the might or might not be with Laguta. He could of said fook it and shut both clubs down..

Although a bit of transparency wouldn't go amiss here.

Exactly that. 

Part of Phil Morris' role was to ensure there was transparency. 

Here is a perfect opportunity for transparency and it's been fudged as usual.
