Does the fence get a 7 day ban if it doesn't make it back to Lynn for the next home fixture. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 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...
