Is the meeting off or are Sky just not showing it?

Firstly well done to The Aces on a fine result with a good all round performance. Kings Lynn shouldn't be too dishearten by the result as people have been going on for months about the top two so was the loss a shock? There are plenty of other teams in the league and if you beat them then you're in the play offs, something you didn't achieve last year. The biggest thing Buster needs to address is the gate and go nature of the track. I've stopped visiting what was one of my favourite tracks as the entertainment was not good. Previously even though I knew Belle Vue would lose the racing would be good but not now. He doesn't have the dog track constraints so I don't know what's going on. The Aces have generally had races in the team and we've been caught out at Lynn before but it looks like they worked on their gating knowing where they were to race. With Mads and Robert in your team a race track is essential. Funny thing is you guys will probably fair better at the NSS.

Joker.

Lets hope we hold all the aces and can trump you stars leaving you feeling flushed.

So Sky think it might be off? I'm getting a bit pig sick of other parties sticking their oar in about the viability of a fixture going ahead! We were planning to go to this but we'll all give it a miss now.

Just got back and what a farce that was. I set of from Anglesey yesterday about 2pm having check Kings Lynn's website, all good. I was cutting it a bit fine but my mate was working down there and he was calling at the box office to get the tickets. He'd also sorted a hotel as after a long trip I didn't want another back to Manchester. Imagine my horror when I arrived to find it off! I caught up with my mate - tickets in hand- and he said it was cancelled around the time I started my journey. I don't check my phone whilst driving as it's dangerous and safety to me is paramount. There had been the usual tittle tattle on social media but nothing official before I left. I can't begin to tell you how angry I'm what with fuel and hotel costs. I don't think I'll see that but I'll wait for the announcement on ticket refunds so I can at least recoup that. What with my visit to Somerset then planned trips to Peterborough and Plymouth being cancelled and the Belle Vue fiasco I'm fed up with speedway and we're still in March.

Err, those are the only two options any promotion can say. I'm i correct in thinking that the consensus on this forum is it's ok for other promotions to announce an event is cancelled before the staging promotion?

Yes they where checking whats what as they were only obligated to allow the ticket be used for the re run or another meeting. They said bugger that we're offering refunds to those who want it! Fair play I say, I've been bitten on the arse by other so called promotions or worse still seen them blatantly get to the cut off point for refunds then chucking us out, though some of those were Sky/SCB lead. Rider safet is paramount my arse. If we can do it way can't the rest? Up The Aces at the NSS!!

Nope, still hiding. Can't think why.

That's a weight off. At least we can all move on now.

Are you a Poole fan?

The same mystery person told Wolves & Cradley but this person refuses to come forward now. Toby Lorone - please read it carefully, did the Edingburgh announcement.

Sky

Belle Vue said they would release news on Wednesday, that today. In the meantime we've had a mystery person at Cradley and Toby Lerone both give out "information". The way you guys lap it up on here I can't help thinking that my Nigerian uncle can get himself out of his current finance problems. He's a prince you know.

Yep 06/10/14. Still waiting for my fuel, hotel, sausage roll and drinks to be reimbursed by that con man. Signed, Angry of Mayfair.

Funny that the riders haven't refused to race at Poole. So still safer than BV??

If theres a rut then theres no speedway - simply as. If Ford let's fans in knowing this he is nothing but a con man, apparently.

Belle Vue will not be riding on any track with holes or ruts. The machinery is out sorting our track so I suggest other tracks get sorting or let your fans know beforehand. That's the way it is from now on. Dave Gordon let fans in then the track was found to be unraceable at best after the practise spins once everybody was in. Are you saying he let people in once he had made his announcement that the riders wouldn't ride?

That's a message from the man that heard it. I wanted the contact details of the person that said it not someone who say they heard it. Please pm me asap.

Do you have contact details for the person that said this or better still if they are on here could they pm me?

I think the vast majority there last night were locals who will re use their tickets for the re run or an alternative fixture. Those from further afield will probably want a refund due to all the ancillary costs incurred. I myself no longer travel any great distance to watch the sport after years of travelling the UK and Europe as it not worth it. Seeing modern day riders going through the motions or not even bothering if rain is in the air has seen to that. Still there's two new DVDs coming out featuring Hyde Road and Mort so they will keep me entertained without the worry of another superstar no show.

It's been on the local ITV news that the meeting will be re run with tickets valid for the re run or refunds for those that cannot make it.
