This is one of the reasons the sport is on its a#se, slightest risk of bad weather and the club will call it off early, wasnt a problem back in the day, mind you back then the riders didn't have the power they have now regarding the track being a bit iffy and them not fancy riding on it.

Clubs are always telling us that one of the main reasons for early call offs is flying riders in. Now if all clubs had their own private jets……….I’ll get my coat😔

Damned if you do damned if you don't

No point getting too worked up about it really 

As an aside how was Lambert lined up ti guest when he isn't named in a 1-7 in either league?

Don’t understand it either.

He's in an NDL 1-7, I assume that entitles him to guest?

I would have thought bottom of the barrel, rather than crumbs ...

Or was he the addition to the Witches armoury that finally tipped Bluster's decision to call it off?

This is where we are at nowadays in the UK unfortunately. Riders just aren't interested in a wet track here when they can earn many multiples in Poland the next weekend. There is a 70-80% chance of showers all afternoon tomorrow and while they may miss Lynn clubs would rather not risk what we had at the Foxhole last Thursday I guess. The days of boilersuits and sawdust are long, long gone.

Plus. Getting injured in the UK and then having to pay back some, if not all, of your very, very considerable signing on fee to your Polish team, would certainly persuade me to not take any undue risks outside of Poland...

Dodgy promotion

While the forecast isn't awful, it's wet enough that a postponement is understandable.

Surprised they're getting so much grief after what happened at Ipswich last week.

I’m sick and fed up with that damn pit gate always being nothing but trouble and meetings postponed because of it.

[Phannan]

The Witches involved in another postponement. Another beating they’ve managed to avoid 😬

Does anyone know the situation with Cooper Rushen? I'm aware he missed Redcar with the hand injury. But with the chronic rider shortage we seem to be pushing our up and coming riders to extreme limits.

He was going to be riding tomorrow, his injury wasn’t that bad

You sure he was going to be riding this evening?

Kings Lynn season is riding on whether young Rushen can keep fit.  Unlikely to be the last injuring he suffers the way he rides.

much rain in Lynn today?
