Now, Chris Louis we could probably agree on. From what I have heard from him he speaks a lot of sense and has the experience of being a very successful rider.

On the face of it, yes. Depends if you're interested in NDL though and watching a Final & Mildenhall team in name only. It's not for me I'm afraid

This new young promoter will have a lot of work on his hands trying to lift the sport back up from the depths that his old man helped drag it down to. And the others? The Bates? Really? The couple that have made a mockery of the Pairs and destroyed the credibility and integrity of the 2nd division and Jubilee Trophy and moved the final to a different venue with not 1 thought for ANY of the fans! The last time a promoter with new ideas came into the sport he was hounded out by the establishment... Mr Sandhu!

You going?

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
