Utter farce but not at all surprising. Lets hope we never see the current Leicester promotion ever appear in an official role again. Fingers crossed that someone will come forward and take the club over, because despite all the negatives about the place from numerous people, it's still got a great deal going for it as a venue.

Now that would be a worry if Leicester were filled with guest riders from Stoke, as both sides are racing against King's Lynn on the same night. Maybe Stoke will be filled with Leicester guest riders, the sport's crazy enough at the moment.

I now fall into the lucky bracket having gone through a lot of nonsense both publically and privately, and got my money back, so this frees me up to go and watch the 'Young Stars' at Stoke instead, which is usually better entertainment anyway. Hope you do get to use your tickets, and that the weather behaves....ENJOY.

No, not always the case Trees, but then I'm talking about when I was your sort of age, and you were a twinkle in your parents eyes..LOL!!

Yep. just like the old days.

I'm amazed that he called this off, when he's so good at turning tracks around in a very short space of time. I am 13-miles from the stadium, so can only assume that conditions were a lot worse that short distance away, than they are here, which of course happens. So disappointed, as last years meeting was probably the best speedway seen at the venue throughout the entire season, at any level (excluding WTC, as I never bothered with that), and despitea somewhat depleted field for this restaging, it still provided enough quality riders to make it an exciting afternoon of action.

It's so frustrating having mown the back lawn since lunch, and my wife dead heading the roses dahlias on such a lovely afternoon, that we could have been watching a speedway meeting 20-minutes down the road. OH DEAR!!

The forecasters seem to have got it correct. The rain stopped quite a while ago, it's almost completely dried up, and the sun is winking at me......BLOODY TYPICAL.

King's Lynn Press Release. KING’S Lynn are gearing up for a huge afternoon of action as they host the showpiece National League Pairs Championship at the Adrian Flux Arena on Sunday (3.30). The top riders in the third tier will battle for major silverware in the popular event, which was originally postponed due to rain on August 27. Elite League title winner Max Clegg, former Stars man Ashley Morris plus talented Poole reserve Adam Ellis will be amongst those in action. The Young Stars will be represented by skipper Scott Campos and Ryan Kinsley as they fight to progress from a strong Group A. King’s Lynn co-promoter Dale Allitt is expecting an exciting day of racing which will prove well worth the wait. Said Allitt: “It was unfortunate the first running was rained off, but it’s still a very good line-up with lots of top riders on show. “These meetings always tend to give you plenty of good racing. It was very competitive last year, and again when you look at the line-up there is no reason this year will be any different. “We’re pleased to be hosting this event again, and I’m sure all 10 teams will be giving it their all to try and get some silverware with the end of the season approaching.” Admission has been priced at £15 for adults and £4 for juniors. NATIONAL LEAGUE PAIRS CHAMPIONSHIP LINE-UP: GROUP A: CRADLEY: Ashley Morris & Max Clegg. EASTBOURNE: Adam Ellis & Jake Knight. ISLE OF WIGHT: Mark Baseby & Chris Widman. KING'S LYNN: Scott Campos & Ryan Kinsley. MILDENHALL: Jon Armstrong & Danny Halsey. GROUP B: BELLE VUE: Matt Williamson & Rob Shuttleworth. BIRMINGHAM: Tom Perry & Jack Smith. KENT: Luke Bowen & Jack Thomas. RYE HOUSE: Ben Morley & Robert Branford. STOKE: Danny Phillips & Chris Hay.

How on earth are they going to print a programme if clubs still haven't named their pairings. Whoops, just realised, the original rain-off will probably be used, so plenty of biros and tippex needed!!

I've never been a fan of his, but like all the other posters, I feel so sorry for the guy. I'm sure he would have lifted the title this year, and deservedly so too. I don't begrudge Greg Hancock winning the title again, because a 'Big One' like Jason Doyle has received, could just as easily have happened to the American. As I said, I'm not a fan of his, but do recognise the immense talent of the man, and I truly hope that he makes a full recovery in the shortest space of time, and realises his dream in 2017.

Flippin' heck, I hit the buy tickets instantly the e-mail came through without any delay whatsoever, yet already the rows and seats I would have liked had gone. Some people must be able to reserve, even before we are notified, as this is the second year running that the same thing has happened!!

Friday won't be easy for King's Lynn fans with rain-off tickets living and working in and around Norwich or Great Yarmouth, in fact I'd have thought it nigh impossible. What's the matter with Saturday 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th October? I've got my money back now, so would have liked to have attended the meeting, but Friday is no goer for me and my family. Bloody shame. Just realised the ELRC is on the 8th.

I didn't know he'd quit, plus I wouldn't know out to access Twitter!!

Great Report, very many thanks.

DOUBLE SHOCK!!!!!! SHOCK ONE: I've received a cheque from Leicester by means of a refund for the tickets following the postponement of the meeting in July. SHOCK TWO: The said cheque HASN'T bounced. I must at this point offer my sincere thanks to some people who did a lot of work on my behalf, following the refusal to reply to anybody's letters by Messrs Machin & Darcy. Linda Jones (Leicester Speedway) spent a lot of her own private time in her quest to help. Yula Hemsley who had put my name on the gate last Saturday prior to the meeting being rained-off again, in case I didn't receive my refund. Sir Henry Bellingham MP who put written pressure on those responsible at the club. A solicitor who gave me guidelines as to what I could or couldn't do if the matter wasn't resolved in my favour. THANK YOU TO ALL FOUR OF YOU. It's been a huge disappointment that all this nonsense had to happen, and I can only hope that if the present promotion are actively involved with any club in 2017, that they will put their hand on their heart, and admit to themselves that they treated the paying public incorrectly. I'm now looking forward to visiting Leicester tomorrow for the NLRC

You're still safe at the moment.

Congratulations to Neil Vatcher, a man I have a lot of respect for. Thank you too, to Graham Reeve, who in my opinion has been a master in that role. I wish him well for the future.

Thanks, I'll let Graham Reeve know.

I know what you're saying about the tractors GRW123, it's so annoying when you can't hear what's taking place elsewhere. Where I was positioned, I could still hear the interviews by Kevin, so I was lucky from that point of view. But quite often I've been at tracks and suffered what you did last night, and it's not acceptable. One of my big gripes at a great many venues, is the announcer/presenter gives out winning times when a rider is still on the track with his engine roaring. I don't post to much about King's Lynn on this forum, even though I do read peoples comments, and both agree and disagree with a lot of them, but will pass comment now the EL season has finished (whatever happened to the good old days when we ran right up until the end of October!!). There's been a huge amount of criticism about the team this year, and yes, the promotion did get it wrong when putting the side together, possibly because we waited to long for Niels to declare his intent, but hindsight and all that. I've got no time for Troy Batchelor as a rider, but as he quite rightly said last night, he or no one else don't deliberately ride badly, because no points = no bread on the table. So although as a team, we were not good enough, by the standards we've come to expect, I'm sure that EVERYBODY rode to the best of their ability on every race night. So from a personal point of view, I thank each and every one of you that donned our colours throughout 2016, for putting on a show for us....and doing you best. To Keith, Rob and Dale who all accept that mistakes have been made at management level, have been 'Man' enough to publically admit that, something some promoters would never do. So thank you Keith in particular, for ensuring that speedway continues in the town, because it doesn't matter how good or bad our race meetings are, long lost fans of clubs like Oxford, Reading etc., etc. would give their back teeth to be in our position. With a few National League meetings left, it would be lovely to see a lot of you attend those. THE NL Pairs Final was possibly the best meeting staged at the arena last year, and with both Eastbourne and Rye House to come in search of league points, there is still plenty to enjoy before we all go into hibernation.

According to referee Willie Dishington, the Workington team at Redcar on the 11th August was: - Kieran McCoy = 9-points; Liam Little = 6+3 points; Josh Embleton = 4-points & Lloyd Ditchburn = 2+1 points.

I know we live a world of "Faceache", "Twits" and them Telegram things, as you say, not everybody uses that form of social media, especially the old people such as myself. It's probably notthat we don't want to use them, but when you get to a certain age, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn, and then remember things. Modern technology being what it is, is a nightmare for me and thousands like me. I've obviously heard the expression 'Twitter' but wouldn't have the first idea how to use it, and to be honest, I don't even understand the language they are conveying!! As for 'Instergram', what the bloody hell is that.....I honestly don't know? I rely 100% on either the club website or BSPA website. Although I've been quick to run Leicester down since the July fiasco, I will say in their defence, that the person who looks after their website, is on holiday. The club didn't originally have a meeting planned for today, so they thought it would be safe to take a few days away, as any volunteer is more than entitled to do. It could be said that one of the clubs promoters should update the website when this situation occurs, but when those same promoters aren't aware of the terms and conditions in their own matchday programme, then I guess that would be a step to far. As for the restaging, I hope for the sake of King's Lynn fans that will be at work during the day, and want to use their rain-off tickets, that it's not staged midweek, thus making it impossible for those people to make the journey. Neither side are going to make the play-off's (I know I'm stating the obvious), so let's hope its run on 24 September or one Saturday/Sunday in October.

Could you tell me the three meetings he's ridden in for Workington please, as I've obviously missed one. Many THanks

Tonights meeting is OFF

I'm a bit concerned that meeting hasn't been mentioned in the news section of the KL website. Is there anybody close to the track that can issue a current weather report?
