Well I certainly hope that isn’t the case but we all no what Buster is like and that’s the worry .

To be honest this doesn’t surprise me it’s been coming a long time too many dodgy call offs over a few seasons - it was more or less season over beforehand but now definitely season ending the bigger question for me will Buster throw his toys out of the pram ?

Wouldn’t flights be booked and bought and paid for prior to yesterday’s call off ?

I seem to remember when Martin Rogers owned the club in the 1980s he had a run of home rain offs one season with no income from home meetings but still paying out on away meetings the club was in desperate need to run a home meeting to get some income . Does as you say seem very odd what’s happening at Lynn at present it’s as if the club can’t face another home loss unless there is team changes in the pipeline the season is all but over in terms of making the play offs anyway but have to complete fixtures at some point I’d have thought .

What goes around comes around I’m afraid except more of these type of call offs when clubs are racing the Stars - Lynn can’t complain as they’ve done it to others

League points deduction should be the penalty it stop this nonsense instantly an example needs to be set or others will call meetings off just like KL when riders are missing . .

Sadly it beginning to look like another difficult season at Kings Lynn - really thought the team we started with was very promising sadly things aren’t looking so promising now .

Points deduction maybe for the team calling the fixture off

That just might be the incentive needed to stop these crazy call offs

You are correct and one of culprits is in the Sheffield team so Buster may have played a blinder - but there will be a time when KL can take advantage of another clubs misfortune via injury rider availablity or even a dodgy weather forecast but KL doesn’t want to whinge when a meeting is off that the club can take advantage of - as the saying goes what goes around comes around . And KL ain’t making many friends at the moment

Problem KL has over the years since Buster has owned the club there has been many dodgy call offs and that’s why fans doubt the reasons they are told - it may well rain tonight in which case it was a good call but it was called off yesterday which is rather early - Lynn can’t afford a other home defeat that’s for sure maybe that’s the reason but either way these iffy call offs have to stop .

No rain here in South Lincolnshire as of yet I’m 20 miles from the track

In Poland they have what they call sparring meetings or in our terms challenge meetings maybe to iron problems out as UK season is so short a couple of pre season meetings could even run POTE just to get riders dialled in be better than going in cold into league meetings

Beggars can’t be choosers- Plymouth are obviously desperate for a replacement

Ritchie Worral ?

I agree all efforts should be into finding a new site and building a new track - Workington has shown what can be done - why would anyone want to go back to the Showground now ? and if the club did it only be short term - time to be in charge of own destiny I think new track is the only way forward .

Kevin Moore I’d say

The fence I’d say either went in a skip or somebody got it for their log burner . From what I saw wouldn’t be worth saving

Certainly doesn’t look good - in fact I think now more energy should now go into to finding an alternative site than trying to get the Showground back into operation . As you say we’re done now . A new site and track is the way forward Workington has shown what can be done .

I see on Facebook they’ve started taking the Grandstand down

Sad to read this morning on Facebook that ex Kings Lynn co promotor Brian Griffen has sadly passed away - some will say who I guess but Brian and Nigel Waggstaff gave the club two great seasons 1999and 2000 when the club should have won the league title but was pipped by Eastbourne on the last meeting of the season .

So I’ve just read had hoped he’d departed along with Jorgensen to pasture new unfortunately only Jorgensen has gone out of the two - Really hope this 2024 is Robs and Allit plays no part in it over the season

For me Allit hasn’t been mentioned in press releases and Jorgensen isn’t in the 2024 team do feel for Simon Lambert as he did nothing wrong and everything right last season

Don’t forget Iversen ended the season injured - I’ve seen no news since how he’s recovered

Don’t think there is many would argue with that - im a KL fan and I’m first to admit Chapman has treated Pboro speedway and it’s loyal fan’s terribly - if it was the other way round im sure KL fans wouldn’t be happy far from it .Then Lynn sign the 2023 Panthers riders it’s not a good look for Chapman - it’s not the riders fault they are there to earn a living .
