They could reduce the admission as a gesture of goodwill... but it's beyond that for me, it's about credibility and sporting integrity, both of which have been shattered. They'll point to the fact that they've already held the prices as it's a double header "Grand" final... have you seen the so called Mildenhall team they're putting together? It's beyond a joke!

Not only have they not laid free coaches on... they've not even laid coaches on that the fans can pay for! A total disgrace! If this were football the fans would be outside the stadium chanting "sack the board"

And in different leagues! Is that official... I've not seen it mentioned at all in weeks

I thought I may have calmed down a bit overnight... no! This is a total disgrace and so disrespectful to both sets of fans! Fans, who like you say, have been following their team all year long, bought into the competition (literally), encouraged to go along and support their team make the pay offs, support them in the pay offs and then Boom! we've moved the deciding final leg to a track that a lot of fans won't be able to get to... on a Friday night! And just to put the cherry on top of the icing on the cake nobody has had the balls to front up and make any comment on it from Leicester or the BSPL, just some bland statement on the Leicester website about it being "a difficult but necessary decision", that's it, no explanation as to why it was necessary? If you've run past the end of the season the damage has already been done! There will be a great many fans from both sides that won't be able to attend this and some, like myself, who will choose not to, so what was the point in moving it?!? What was the point in the whole season? On top of all that, I've not even started on the Jubilee Trophy!

1986 Oxford & Cradley Heath then?

Precedent set in the 1939 KoC, Belle Vue & Wembley shared

What about the return journey?

I think the Leicester promotion have proved once and for all they don't give a toss about the fans!

I can get to this... I won't though, it's lost all credibility now... and I travelled up to Glasgow on a Tuesday evening the last time we were in the final!

To be fair if you set the time to arrive at Lynn at 18:30 on Friday the estimated travel time is between 4hrs 20mins and 6hrs 50mins!

I don't think anybody is taking this seriously anymore apart from Poole fans

get your votes in now before I get blocked: https://twitter.com/iainebrown/status/1587825243435016195?s=20&t=OPd_6_Ouhj8nzqnbG8_cIg

imo this has nothing to do with what the weather has been doing for the last 2 weeks... but what have the BSPL been doing since the 24th of July!

Well... that's me done! Merry Christmas everybody... see you in the PL

No King's Lynn... not kindling

What does the oracle Shov say

At least Danny Ford has dared to mention this competition in his Echo quote... he's obviously not received the memo from BSPL towers to pretend it never existed

Pot, kettle, black?

Like when Robert Lambert was decaled to ride in the recent meeting at KL?

Leicester's league programme was finished on the 24th of July after one of the driest summers on record... it's purely down to poor organisation

You had Mighty Mort... we had Sunny Sam

I know you don't talk about the weather much in Manchester because it's ALWAYS raining... but all this rain is a bit of a novelty for the rest of us

I've been to Leicester all season, home and many away, I've purchased the BSN+ pass for the pairs and I've been encouraged to buy into the Jubilee Trophy. I've been waiting since Leicester completed their league campaign on the 24th of July, over 3 months ago, for the pay offs, I've been short changed with the pairs and the Jubilee Trophy is being treated as if it never existed! Yes, I'm feeling pretty buggered about!

... and it'll probably be called off again! Heavy rain again tomorrow night, then clear until tapes up. Will be interesting to see how the riders get on as no doubt they'll start the meeting. I'm no track expert but I've been around long enough to know that you can't lay a track on the day of the meeting and expect to run a double header on it. Cardiff is laid days in advance and look at what a mess that is.

When was that taken though? It's probably under water again after today!
