It's already done! They have posted the press release on their websites! How's that for speed!

It's certainly one of the most bizarre decisions that I have seen in over 70 years following speedway!

A mystery that.

He was at it again last night. As was Ollie Allen. Do they never learn?

Then why did it show on Discoverys web site as late as last Friday that they were covering the Birmingham meeting? When it was changed it didn't say they were covering the Sheffield match instead.

Ollie Allen said the same!

Thanks. I can now understand why the Plymouth lads have such a busy weekend! I hope they don't have a mare of a journey down the M5 only to find tonight's match is off because of rain in the West Country!

Is tonight's match a rearranged one following a rain off earlier in the season?

From the Leicester 2024 thread: As explained to crowd last night by Stewart she was due to be induced twice as needs a C section but has been cancelled twice so fingers crossed baby should be born by Tuesday

I would rate the spectator facilities at Plymouth as good as, if not better, than the ones at Scunthorpe! The track is another matter!

R/R in operation. Any Lions rider can take one of Dougies rides. Max James at no 8.

Thanks. That's a shame!

Anyone know how Dan is?

Didn't Kerr replace Cook at Leicester last year? Or have I got that wrong?

That's exactly what Kemp did in heat 2 last night.

They were both on Discovery+

STATEMENT: KING’S LYNN SPEEDWAY SATURDAY, MAY 18, 2024 Having already been under investigation for postponing a League fixture on the 4th May 2023, the Directors of the BSP Ltd reported the King’s Lynn club to the Speedway Control Bureau (SCB) for postponing the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership fixture on the 9th May 2024 stating the reason for the postponement was lack of rider availability. The members of the SCB viewed the evidence given where the King’s Lynn team were missing two riders namely Tobiasz Musielak who is currently absence with a speedway injury and Patryk Wojdylo who was competing in a National Championship in Poland. With the facilities available to the King’s Lynn team and three Premiership Teams not competing on the 9th May as well as a host of top-class Championship riders available the SCB supported the BSP Ltd Directors view that this fixture should have gone ahead. Due to the actions of the King’s Lynn Promotion by postponing this fixture when facilities were available, and also already being under investigation due to the fixture being postponed in May 2023, this Breached the following SCB Regulation – 017.2 Breach of Rules f) Any proceedings or acts prejudicial to the interests of any part or body of the ACU, SCB, BSP Ltd or of the sport of motorcycling generally. Due to this breach the King’s Lynn Club have been issued with the following penalty as per SCB Regulation 017.3 Penalties – Point Penalty – The Removal of two (2) ROWE Motor Oil Premiership League Points. No further comment from the SCB on this matter will be made.

Waiting to hear what you think now!

I thought that was already happening!

You better get used to all tv being streamed. From what I have read it will all come down a wire of some sort in the not too far distant future! See https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/future-of-tv-distribution#:~:text=The average person spent 25,2034 and 27% by 2040.

If its not restaged its not fair on the riders of both teams who will all miss a pay day through no fault of their own! A better punishment might be a points deduction at tbe end of tbe regular season.

If you like!

It's 28.57% actually! 2/7×100

I think this statement on the Lion's website makes interesting reading! LEICESTER’S next ROWE Motor Oil Premiership fixture at King’s Lynn this Thursday (May 9) has been postponed. The match has been called off by the home club due to the fact that Polish Championship qualifiers have been arranged for the same day. This would have taken Tobiasz Musielak and Patryk Wojdylo out of the meeting against the Watling JCB Lions, although the former is now on the injury list. King’s Lynn have proposed Monday July 1 as a provisional re-staging date, and we will update supporters if and when this date is confirmed. The club will make no further comment at this stage on the circumstances surrounding the postponement. The Lions are now in a break from action and will resume their campaign on Thursday May 23 when they travel to Sheffield, but before then the Lion Cubs are in action at home to Belle Vue this Sunday (May 12, 3pm).

It's off according to BSN.
