Lynn should be docked two league points like they were previously. With cooper an injury doubt and a team change incoming they had no intention of ever riding last night.

Dan Ford on Charlie Southwick: "This is exactly what the sport is about - a young rider working his way through, showing commitment, and earning an opportunity" Noble words from Dan there. Just one slight issue...Poole still won't consider running an NDL team. The Happy Clappers down there don't like NDL racing, so there is no money to be made. Poole continue their policy of letting other tracks run the NDL, and they can pick out young riders when it suits them. Poole Parasites

Maybe so,but it was called off the night before on a forecast.And you said it was nice one Thursday,they just got lucky with the rain coming late on Thursday.Lynn were unlucky with the predicted rain coming a few hours later than predicted.IMO no team should be allowed to postpone a fixture the night before on a weather forecast,not just Lynn.

Not saying that at all they do as they wish that’s entirely up to them -all I’m saying there track record isn’t good on dodgy call offs so if some fans find the reasons hard to believe it’s hardly surprising. But ultimately they do as they please but in any other sport there would be repercussions.

The trouble with dodgy call-offs is that fans lose trust and that is important. No-one will trust Lynn again when it comes to this because they've been caught red-handed before.

Well if the owner was Mark Lemon and Belle Vue needed to win their final fixture at Northampton ...

You do seem to post rubbish on any site not just the comics

It MIGHT have effing rained!!!! Nobody seems to realise that ... So many negative posters, so happy to take the p**s, on this forum....

Jeppesen in for Zagar, good move that

We go through this every year. Regardless of possible underhand reasoning, what is it Speedway fans want?? We see hundreds of comments of ban RR / guests, makes the sport a joke. Then there's moaning (rightly so imo) that meetings are called off for rain from 5-8pm. People need to stop being selfish pr!cks and realise the financial implications just for fans alone. There are 100s of fans at King's Lynn that it's costing £40-£80 round trip for these meetings. Taking whole / half day holidays from work Absolutely, 100%, calling a meeting a day before is beneficial for the wider public, regardless of reason

BREAKING NEWS Kings Lynn hospital bed shortage today following unprecedented influx of severe sunburn sufferers

he's had a very good career. wish him well in his retirement.

Given its a bulky foam fence, it must be quite a task to move it from Lynn to Northampton. Does the fence get a 7 day ban if it doesn't make it back to Lynn for the next home fixture.

One of them (now blocked) even claimed to have a wicked sense of humour, but I've seen no evidence of that in any of his posts. BTW. A 🤣 or 😂 emoji does not make a post funny.

I know he's no saint. But putting back a Lynn NDL match, or the new Prem team can't ride. He did it to help Northampton, or in the interest of the sport, take ya pick. He will never please some.

The fence is guesting for Northampton and needs to rest up in a hotel (car park) the night before... it's all quite normal, just ask the Northamptoningham skipper 👍

These days calling a meeting or 2 off a season, the day before due to a dodgy forecast might be the difference whether some clubs can just about afford to run or not. The crowds just ain't big enough at a lot of clubs to take the risk these days. Damned if you do, blah blah blah.. It seems like Buster has put a lot of time and effort into helping Northampton. I doubt if that could be said with every clubs owner?

Maybe if Lynn had called it off on a different excuse.But if any other club can call it off the night before on a dodgy weather forecast,why can't Lynn.So your saying Lynn can run the risk of losing thousands of pounds but other clubs don't have too🤔

Charlie rode last season in the national league for Plymouth , developed his skills there and would love him to return to the coliseum soon .

From GB Speedway Team's own website: "In addition to its senior team, Great Britain have now implemented a solid foundation with the launch of the GB Academy, embracing young athletes from the age of 15 and steering them through their development and into the Under 21 squad, there is now a very clear pathway for British Speedway athletes to reach the very top." https://www.gbspeedwayteam.com/about 👍

Or score a few more points!

Really it’s a compete joke and a farce Harris been given an opportunity while you’ve got Dan Thomson and Tom Brennan as meeting reserves. Two guys who should really be in the meeting. Harris just as bad accepting the gift.

Victor

Young lad who could ride the airfence and beat anyone when on it. His form did fall of a cliff once the move up but as he’s a treble winning Pirate I’d certainly welcome him back, on the right average

Can't honestly say that a moaning old git will be missed much anyway. To quote the late David Ashby , " its nice to be important but its important to be nice " .It sounds like you are neither

Is Zagar going to be out for a long time? I'd be more worried about Klindt.

Beginning to sound like a jolly boys tax avoiding club, where can I join ?

It’s a shame the Glasgow qualifier is on the same night as the Workington b Scunthorpe meeting , I would have loved to to the qualifier there .

Would that strapline also been known as a jockstrap.

I'll guest mod for you when you're unavailable.....

Well here’s something to put that piss in.

I agree, but.... How many fans does it really impact? 1500 at the most? 1500 who will more than likely be there for the next meeting regardless, given the sport is pretty much down to the die hsrds who accept "anything", so very little impact in reality.. Measure that against flight costs, hotel costs, basic travel expenses for UK based riders, and referee costs, and you can see why clubs call off the meetings early... Even more reason if you rent your stadium.....

It absolutely hammered it down at 6pm last Thursday... If you ask them nicely they may provide the phone number of their weather forecaster ☎️😂

In a Mickey Mouse sports entertainment business it doesn't make a jot of difference, it is maybe beneficial... but in a professional competitive sport wanting to attract TV coverage and the betting industry it really does (should) matter. If people want to hide their identity in a public environment it's usually for a reason, I don't think it's too much to wonder what that reason is 🤔 Anything wrong with the owner and director of Northampton being the team manager and CEO of Belle Vue where he is not an owner or director?

Touch a nerve there.! I make frequent visits to Ashfield,when there is not a cloud in in the Sky and not on BSN.🤔👍.I assume your comments are your usual “informed “ way.

Any other team is the division would make use of the these points before they disappear, but will he, who knows?!

There has been no rain here tonight, the meeting should have been on, signs of last season already.

If he has qualified through being 4th in the British Final then he is absolutely entitled to take his place.

Feels wrong to me that choices are made based on 1 meeting, if the british final was over a couple of meetings I think it'd be fine but anything can happen over 1 meeting. At worst Brennan is the 4th best British rider at the moment, good enough to be the GP wildcard and represent the country in the world cup but not good enough to get an attempt at qualifying for the GPs, seems a bit odd.

As I’ve pointed out on numerous occasions for god knows how many years with evidence of it, bikes today are in relative speed no faster than they were 40 years ago, what is considerably faster is the speed of the back wheel to the speed of the bike, when the bike is doing 50-60mph the back wheel is doing 80-100mph, hence the back tyres wear out in 5mins and the front tyre will last a season, it has been a problem for years but nobody especially riders and tuners want it addressed

As of the 15th of this month, Rob Painter is no longer a Director. David Rodwell replaces.

I always thought that was against Forum rules? But, it does seem the Mods are asleep most of the time and seem to be doing less and less, compared to what they used to do.

The riders?

the issue is that actually useful threads with some decent information are just getting filled up with absolute drivel. I would agree with MD in that it puts me off coming onto the forum, and clearly not the only one. Ive just got all the accounts on ignore now but the more people reply and the more accounts they create i still continue to see absolute rubbish.

Agree, Edwards had a poor match, Jenkins has had a poor season, big difference between the two.

Update on former Berwick rider Connor Coles posted on social media today. Lovely news from Kirsty Coles about Connor A little update on Connor Connor has now been transferred from Stoke to Derby and has officially started neurological rehabilitation in a specialist centre. Although there is still a long recovery journey ahead, this week has brought some really positive steps forward. Connor is becoming much more aware and engaged, communicating more, remembering conversations and slowly getting more like himself each day. He is now eating food orally again with thickened drinks, has started rehab exercises including the exercise bike, and is walking short distances with support and a frame. Seeing these small milestones after everything he has been through has meant so much to us all. There are still many challenges ahead with speech, swallowing, fatigue and weakness down his left side, and recovery will take time, but we finally feel like Connor is taking important steps in the right direction. Thank you again to everyone for all the continued love, support, messages and kindness shown to Connor and our family

Cheers

Im Jody's dad. I dont normally respond/comment on this sort of thing, but I would like to draw a line under this NOW................. There is NO friction/tension/bad feeling or animosity between Jody and Cooper or our families......They are mates and we have known each other for several years......
