But ultimately they do as they please but in any other sport there would be repercussions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they have been honest in this statement. Not sure why Northampton takes priority. If the fence belongs to Kings Lynn thought they would have priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB1 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 6 hours ago, Steve Irving said: 100%. They weren’t going to ride without their in form reserve, and an out of sorts Paco when they knew full well another home defeat would have in all likelihood ended their season in May. Very much the same as pit gate-gate, rather than run RR and a guest for two missing riders on Danish international duty, they make up a cock and bull story about a “broken pit gate”. Kings Lynn are a cowboy outfit run by absolute charlatans and they wonder why riders are constantly buggering off mid-season and show little commitment. It’s embarrassing.

Bald Bloke Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) These days calling a meeting or 2 off a season, the day before due to a dodgy forecast might be the difference whether some clubs can just about afford to run or not. The crowds just ain't big enough at a lot of clubs to take the risk these days. Damned if you do, blah blah blah.. It seems like Buster has put a lot of time and effort into helping Northampton. I doubt if that could be said with every clubs owner? Edited May 19 by Bald Bloke spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I must have misremembered or misunderstood. Maybe the Witches misunderstood too, and went for a 25% guest 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fence is guesting for Northampton and needs to rest up in a hotel (car park) the night before... it's all quite normal, just ask the Northamptoningham skipper 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But putting back a Lynn NDL match, or the new Prem team can't ride. He did it to help Northampton, or in the interest of the sport, take ya pick.

Does the fence get a 7 day ban if it doesn't make it back to Lynn for the next home fixture. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if that could be said with every clubs owner? I understand that, for a one-off, you could argue that makes sense. But what if the forecast is poor for half a dozen (or more) meetings, will they keep calling them off? Eventually they'd have to race them, could end up racing in poorer conditions / on a off race night / twice in a week / running double headers because there's a rush for the cut off date for the play-offs. Sounds like they are trying to avoid costs now, while hoping they'll be no more issues later on, but can't guarantee the weather will indeed be better on the re-staging date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many meetings to fit in, and no TV schedule to work to... We go into October? No problem... 1300 - 1500 or so will still turn up.. They could even complete their season AFTER the PO Finals have been completed... Another season of the same old, same old, ticked off.... Job done... Roll on 2027, for more of the same...

Or, as Northampton are at home, do they get an extra 5% of fencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
