Is he actually going to turn up? 

Well I was on about his Denmark contract but whatever.    Ban him fair enough, then what? A guest? A lower rider facility? Can’t win because then it’ll be people twining about having to use guests etc like always!! As long as the Redcar promotion are informed of it and like I said earlier, the relevant paperwork is there, then suck it up.

I wish them all the best as we know they have a huge task on their hands that sadly beat the likes of John Berry, Chris Louis, Jonathon Chapman and Adrian Smith etc. To be honest the sport was starting to struggle when I started going in 1984 it had lost Penhall and shortly after lost Carter and Sanders every year in winter 2-3 tracks were in trouble but there were normally 2-3 people ready to step in and take over the track/s where now days there is minimal interest from new outside promoters. Buster does take a lot of flak (a lot of which is fair) but he has kept Lynn running when he doesn't really want to be involved, he also wants to keep losses to a minimum now he's getting on a bit and as far as I'm aware there's been near zero interest in anyone taking the team off his hands.

Yet met office is showing 60-90% chance of rain all afternoon and evening. Let's wait and see before we start the abuse shall we ?

Agreed embarrassing. 

But is he a better rider than the points scored by rider replacement or guests?
