We had the sense to divert to Weston, found a 'spoons and sat here watching the rain hammering down. If it's anything like this at the OTA, then they'll be doing everyone a massive favour and call it off now.

Post of the week 😂

The last thing anyone wants is a delayed meeting. I believe the curfew is 10pm? They need to crack on to get a result. I can't believe anyone wants to stand around in the rain waiting on a decision after paying to get in.

Currently on the Bandit bus somewhere near Bristol. The weather outside is shocking and the forecast is worse. I've absolutely zero interest in this meeting, My team arent involved and I can't stand the pairs format anyway. I can't watch any sport as a neutral and enjoy it. Just do us all a favour and call it off now. More drinking time in Cardiff

Any promoter with an ounce of credibility would be embracing the few fans he hasn't pee'd off and be all over social media and on the Kings Lynn website with a full explanation and photographs of the "flooded" track. As far as I know there has been little or no communication with supporters/paying customers. If he's not familiar with the workings of the internet he should employ someone who is. That would help to diffuse the anger and clarify the situation. What you have now is unacceptable in 2017.

Entirely missing the point. Many people had booked time off of work to attend. Whether clay absorbs a lot of water or not, the forecast on match day was for sunshine with a breeze, ideal drying weather. With a full strength Kings Lynn side available this would've been on. No question

Can't see Rye House getting anything here apart from a bloody good hiding

No chance of any action being taken against Kings Lynn with Chapman as the BSPA chairman. It'll be like turkeys voting for Christmas. No, this'll be quietly brushed under the carpet and no amount of whining on speedway forums is gonna make a blind bit of difference. The Rye House promotion should be kicking up a hell of a stink, but knowing them as I do they'll more than likely just let it go. A previous post had mentioned something I proposed before, Only a referee can call off a meeting in advance after a track inspection. You try telling anyone not involved in speedway that a club can decide whether or not to run a meeting because the track is unfit based on no evidence whatsoever. It's madness!

Both teams agreed to stop after heat 14. Suited each differently. . A moral victory for Berwick, but for Glasgow it guaranteed them 2 points. I wonder if they'd have been happy to continue if they were 2 points down?

KL were bossing the Premier League in the mid to late 2000's, but what a laughing stock they've become... I don't take any pleasure in saying that. I've no idea what's going on behind the scenes there. The lack of response from the club is worrying. Does anybody there give a toss anymore?

Oh please stop this nonsense. If Kings Lynn were anywhere near full strength and this was a meeting of any importance or due to be televised they'd be moving heaven and earth to get the track fit. You're either very naive, or your name is Buster Chapman.

I remember when Kings Lynn were the envy of British speedway. Decent stadium, professionally run and with a cracking side. What the hell happened?

Enjoyed the Kings Lynn rivalry with Rye in the mid to late 2000's. This situation is beyond farcical. Gotta feel for the loyal fans of both clubs who've taken time off and made arrangements to attend. I'd have been one of those had we not moved north. Thank the lord I'm well out of it now. I attended the Bandits v Glasgow meeting on Saturday with the farcical heat 15 nonsense. Speedway rapidly becoming a joke in the UK

Joke club. Award the points to Rye. Speedway in the UK dying on its arse.

In two minds about the Holder situation, but I'm positive Batchelor blatantly took the p*ss last week. To stop future incidents I propose any rider who withdraws mid meeting should not be allowed to race again for a minimum of seven days.

Yeah, I heard that too. Apparently on borrowed equipment. Doolan these days is not the Doolan of old. Obviously winding down and comfortable sitting in second or third for relatively easy points. Why would he wanna take risks at this stage of his career?

For home meetings I'd go with Morley, but he struggles away from Rye, so best to go with horses for courses on the road

Think again

Barmy to have an interval with dark clouds all around

Not as strange as it feels for me ☹️️ At least I'll be able to proudly wear the Rye House colours at Berwick this evening

Eveythings better in Berwick than it is in Paisley 😉

My first meeting as a fully fledged resident of Berwick, although still and will always be 100% Rocket. Hope the track covers are down

Embarassing night all round for the sport. Can it sink any lower?

Quite agree. As I posted earlier in the thread (lost amongst the childish bickering) that the moderators need to get a grip on this. I've offered my services (lots of spare time on my hands), but have been ignored, probably due to a chequered past as far as this forum goes. I've spoken to many people who avoid the forum now due to all the nonsense.

The lack of moderation on this forum is shocking. Having to wade through pages of bickering and point scoring is rather tedious.
