Undoubtedly....

But. Unless a radical overhaul takes place, (which won't/can't happen), then what we have is what there always will be till it organically finishes..

Maybe if Lynn had called it off on a different excuse.But if any other club can call it off the night before on a dodgy weather forecast,why can't Lynn.So your saying Lynn can run the risk of losing thousands of pounds but other clubs don't  have too🤔

Not saying that at all they do as they wish that’s entirely up to them -all I’m saying there track record isn’t good on dodgy call offs so if some fans find the reasons hard to believe it’s hardly surprising. But ultimately they do as they please but in any other sport there would be repercussions.

And so there ought to be.

Pit Gate issues, Dodgy weather forecasts & now lack of air fences... 

At least they have been honest in this statement.

Shambles, keep away.

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.

 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?

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".

Thanks - I must have misremembered or misunderstood.

Maybe the Witches misunderstood too, and went for a 25% guest 😅

Not sure why Northampton takes priority. If the fence belongs to Kings Lynn thought they would have priority.

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 👍

That’s why I walked away. Can’t stand the prat. Such a smug f****r

Can't honestly say that a moaning old git will be missed much anyway. To quote the late David Ashby , " its nice to be important but its important to be nice " .It sounds  like you are neither

Yes but not at the expense of kings Lynn his own club

I know he's no saint. 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.  He will never please some.

Given its a bulky foam fence, it must be quite a task to move it from Lynn to Northampton. Does the fence get a 7 day ban if it doesn't make it back to Lynn for the next home fixture.

So now not only riders guesting for clubs it’s getting even more of a farce with air fences guesting also.😂

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.

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...

The Bomber Harris air fence. Available for all occasions. Age not an issue

Does it have to be a shorter fence?

Or, as Northampton are at home, do they get an extra 5% of fencing?
