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.😂

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?

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?

Absolutely right!  And of course, risking a smaller crowd.
