We all like value for money so surely all of us would prefer to see a meeting with two full strength teams, wouldn’t we? 😉 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully Ben Cook is also back fit and Lynn are also back to full strength 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obviously going to be tougher to progress with the injury problems I think we all conceded that. I certainly still wouldn’t have bet against us winning the tie tomorrow, any scenario looked possible. You’d think that was Lynn’s best chance and it may now have gone, but having said that, it could be a while before the fixture takes place and either team could look in a worse position by then! You can just never tell in this sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I’m with you Telly, you can’t sit around waiting for teams to be at full strength of course. I’m just saying, we all prefer to see meetings when teams are both at full strength, so hopefully this is the case when this meeting eventually gets run…😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly aren’t sure. Forecasts are generally crap until the actual day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted Wednesday at 09:30 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:30 PM Buster's played some iffy moves with postponements so no King's Lynn fan has any right to call 'foul' on this one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right Buster has made some dodgy call offs,and Lynn have been called out by fans on every one.So surely it's only fair to repay the compliments😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, but two wrongs don’t make a right though. Think they’ve definitely taken advantage of a dodgy looking forecast to get this off. I’ve seen even worse forecasts than that the evening before a meeting at Foxhall, and they’ve not called it off the evening before. I can also remember a meeting against Peterborough at Foxhall a few years ago, where the Ipswich Twitter account uploaded a photo of the track literally under water after a monsoon mid afternoon the day of a meeting, and still got the meeting on. They’ve also worked hard clearing all the drains during the winter and sorted the drainage system. Let’s be honest here they should have waited until the morning we all know it. But what’s done is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what’s done is done. I agree, but sometimes "what goes around, comes around" is justified for some. Saying that though, with the state of British Speedway today, if the weather is predicted to rain, postponements should be made prior to match day. Expenses to club & rider has to be protected, plus, more importantly, the costs to all the volunteers & any travelling fans whether it's 1 guy & his dog or 100. In 2025, people just don't have the patience or affordability to be at stadiums watching track work for an hour only to be sent home anyway. These things are far more damaging than any early postponement for everyone involved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted Wednesday at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:30 PM There have been plenty of postponements over the last few seasons due to weather forecasts the day before a meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
