Team changes in a sport where you don't have enough participants is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine making a joke about being scared of Kings Lynn when you’ve beaten them 3 times already and it’s only mid May 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such rule, if Hellstrom Bangs was withholding his services Ipswich would be due a guest, if he was missing for a reason they don't get a facility for, then it's a "75% guest".

Racin Jason 72 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 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. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB1 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 If British Speedway had an advertising campaign and used the strapline ' subject to availability' would that be considered as taking the piss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
