Adam Sheppard was due to ride for the Invaders but had to pull out due to a injury sustained last week so Sam Darroch has stepped in.

Before I post the result of tonight's meeting, just because I'm quite a well known face at the Norfolk Arena, I only work in the Track Shop, and contribute to what I agree with you all when you say, it is not a good programme this year.

I can fully understand the frustrations of the great many of you tonight, as you were not able to obtain a racesheet for the MDL meeting against Long Eaton. I also fully understand the disappointment of the 'Invaders' fans who made the journey to support your team, and to at least one person I saw demanding his programme money be refunded. Although it's only 6-heats of junior racing, at the end of the day, it's your team and is all you've got, and you want those keepsakes such as a programme.

To those who said that every other club produces details in their programmes when a MDL match is involved, then yes I agree with that too, and yes I know Stoke produce a separate programme, and don't included in their National League publication.

I can assure you that generally speaking the MDL details DO appear in our programme, and the fact they weren't tonight are for reasons unknown to me, and I found it equally frustrating and embarrassing. I made a contribution to tonight's programme, which also didn't appear, so there must have been good reason for the two things being missed out.

I know it's still inexcusable that at least a single sheet with the heat details etc on, wasn't made available to you the public, but rather than show your understandable anger towards some us working at the stadium, you needed to approach the management, who may have been able to offer you the answers you were seeking.

 

I hope you were still able to enjoy your evening

first time i've been to King's Lynn this season. Main meeting was fair although fiasco with the haircut was embarrassing...I too was perplexed that there was no racecard for MDL. Indeed it was the attraction of 21 heats (and the weather) rather than just 15 that saw me drive up from London ...

As for the so called programme! - It shows Eastbourne's recent efforts in a much better light..and as for the mess it was in after unfolding and refolding several times.....suggest the format is binned forthwith..returning on sat week so although expecting prog to be expensive at least it will stay in a decent condition
