It IS very sunny and hotter than usual, as well as more humid. One of those must be a strong enough reason for a postponement?

And is there any doubt that Holder will not be riding? Is it more fake news? IF there is any doubt then fans should be told. I have just been told that - and it could be another rumour with basis in truth, there could be a need for r/r for both Holder and Porsing. Can this be true? Let's have the team riding tonight ( as soon as it is known) on the club website.

Robert Lambert is powerfully proud to represent GB and has never suggested that he would ride for Germany, even though he did learn his craft there because he could not, at the time do it here ( at his age ).

I hope that Rory does win and make the system look as foolish as it is.

Wilkinson is a well over the hill journeyman who will be a trier against Wolves. Yes, I know he had a famous victory over Tai W. but that only shows that if you gate and make no mistakes the victory is yours . And with Jake Knight in at 7 we have no likelihood of winning.. I won't bother going because we know only Lambert will stand a chance of catching most of the Wolves riders who gate ( as they usually do ).

Hardly horrid. I'm not going because Lambert was injured. I'm not going because I don't want to see the home team put to the sword ( again ) due to poor choices by the promotion. Without Huckenbeck or an adequate replacement and a stand in for Lambert at reserve ( who I do not believe will score ) and with Porsing seeming to have serious problems regaining any semblance of his form it would likely be very poor VFM. VFM in term of racing - I was there when Belle Vue shredded the Stars with barely one decent race or part of one. Going or not going is a personal choice of how to spend my own money. That's all. IF all fans still living had to go just because the Stars were riding there would be 3,000 to 5,000 there. Still no news of who is riding 36 hours before the match continues to be a no-no in my opinion. Some people might like the excitement of hearing who is riding on the day of the match. I don't.

Really? Jake Knight at No7 on Weds? Well out of his depth. I will not be going is that is the case.

The promotion will certainly have a Plan B won't they? They should have a Plan C too because injuries are a part of speedway. The averages situation is this year's major debacle ( so far).

I have learnt a lot about human nature including the dark, intolerant side of some posters who are instantly dismissive of the opinion of others. Annonimity emboldens some of them more than if they were discussing the topic in person - or perhaps they are aggressive bullies in real life? It takes all sorts of course and most of all makes it a surety that every topic has polarised views about about with hardline beliefs restrict thoughtful exchange of those differing views. Thankfully there is enough humour to soften the overall impression for new posters. That its the banter of the terraces or the banter that I remember most and happily.

Yes I do, but I don't have to delete it from my memory - just file it away for the next time - and of course there will be a next time because so little changes in UK speedway except the bikes.

The way that this postponement was handled does reek of incompetence, poor communication skills and treating fans with complete indifference. All things which are more likely to cause the crowd levels to drop than attract new fans. Hard to believe how they did deal with it. The weather forecasts predicted a calm post storm evening, ideal for speedway which is what we got in King's Lynn 9 two miles from the track. Was is just incompetence? Or is there really something else behind it?

sounds like an echo of UK politics.

With all the natural talent in the world, you need to be able to master aspects of your personality to utilise those talents fully and that is what Bridger seems to have been unable to do over the years.

Must be the tail end of the latest BSPA "hot air" meeting. Working on the Gb World Cup side?

At a time when everyone in the sports effort's should be concerned only with Go & Tell of the excitement the sport offers ( when seen at it's best ) this very premature calling off is the last kind of thing that was needed. There will be no points deduction or action of any kind will there? With the Chairman of the BSPA owning KL how can there be? The BSPA is not unlike other odd organisations with complex inner workings and so everyone else there will "understand". Sadly the promotion do seem to think that the fans are thick ( Norfolk born and Norfolk bred etc ) . It will indeed never be spoken of again by them and swept under the carpet that way.

I agree with you BUT the wind has died by at least 70% since last night and is now quite benign. I live near the Walks in KL centre and the tree movement is no different to Monday. Rated as breezy by the current BBC weather forecast. That was also forecasted last night. It was not called off due to the wind, local to the track.

You are right, he would just postpone it on whim.

I have been up to the AFA and there are no puddles or lying water at all. The wind has been fierce since the rain stopped and must have been a continuing drying factor. It beggars belief that it has been called off because of the weather to be honest. But that is not what we get as fans in speedway. Keep them in the dark and fed on bullrubbish! It's an average manipulation issue. And a turn off for fans. Don't expect everyone to turn out twice in week when you can't fit in the fixtures and the team starts doing well towards the cut off date. Pathetic.

And that is the sad bit. With the World Cup looming there seems little point in managing to qualify for the Final ( if we do ) as we would not pull up many trees in Poland with any of these. If Cook is ever going to do it on the world stage he needs to get on with it - he can't forever claim to be a late starter. Lambert will probably cut the mustard but of course he is not in this one. There are so few that can do - as Doyle did , late in his career step up to world class.

Never been anything else but in the early years and just after World war 2 there was a vast pool of cash in it. Now it's not even dried up puddles but mere dribbles. Not worth anything in the UK now. Sad state of affairs and this will drive other longstanding fans to walk away.

What is Emmerdale and who is Corrie? Is Ena a model? Are Amos and Mr Wilks both men? I have been away for 15 years and am somewhat out of touch with all the changes. I shall go to the match hoping for a Lambo (R ) max on the evening of my birthday. No longer up to wine, women and song ( well I can still manage a song on a good day " Chicken on a raft on a Sunday morning" all together now! )

Yes that makes it OK for him to do that because it is all his choice. As it is our choice to criticise or support him over his decisions.

The weather will be Fine after a brief autumn today. The track will be almost perfect ( for those who like grip ). The meeting will be delayed until 8.12 pm because Here Comes the Sun ( which never shone during meetings in the previous century ). There will be a pointless interval later. The centre green presenter's questions will be answered inaudibly. The burger buns will be stone cold. Much will therefore be the same. Bomber will be their best rider. Lambert (R ) will be our best rider. Lambert ( S ) will not find it so easy against their reserves. Kennet will show us his best side and surprise us. Nicholls will not win a race. The Stars will win by 8 points. Porsing will be in the Last Chance Saloon and who knows what he will show us he can do - not even Mystic Meg knows!

King for me to re-visit Cardiff! Back to Back wins would really cement his deserved status in UK speedway.

I have heard Polish 'commentary" of some kind on two or three previous occasions. It came into play on particular threads so I stayed away from them for a day and it was gone. So is it cyber interference or a hack? Does anyone know for certain what happened?
