Starboy118 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 You couldn't make it up could you. You mean they couldn't get away from their day jobs? Believe it or not, it was because the un-availability of riders.... There might well be a small crowd tonight because of the unavailability of fans !

Star Lady Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 If it's on let's hope it starts on time, the ref knows where the 2 min button is and the interval ( which I guess they will have because of the collection for Lewis) is short and sweet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The worthwhile collection boxes for Lewis, could be placed by the entrance, programme sales table, bar, café and track shop, then there would be no need for an interval. No parade is needed, and referee to put the 2-minutes on the moment the previous race has finished. Races happen that quickly in the British Youth Championship along with the various Amateur Meetings up and down the country, so it's time it happened in our domestic leagues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL could learn a lot from BYC, not least the attitude of the young lads who almost without exception acknowledge the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've not been following things for a few days, but why wasn't this meeting staged on our usual Wednesday night? If it had been on the usual Wed it would have been cracking weather 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The rain has now started in Heacham. It's not that heavy, and at the moment there is the odd break in the sky, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Well you see I'm beginning to think like Trees. Why should the whole of British sport be governed because a few riders want to go to Oz. If that's what they want to do fine but for every one of them there are 10-20 other riders who will not be able to pursue their sport in October or most Fridays and Saturdays.I genuinely thought the BSPA has made a conscious decision to bring the playoffs forwards due the inclement weather of the past few years. Turns out I gave them too much credit! Edited August 13, 2015 by MattK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry now, and the sky looking very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that heavy, and at the moment there is the odd break in the sky, so fingers crossed. Yeah fingers crossed that it gets heavier! If ever a meeting should be rained off its this farce with 4 home riders and 3 away riders missing!!! But i suppose it'll be the usual storm just efore the start then a wait of 2 hours while the track is relaid....only for it to pour down again before the end - ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The tractor needs to do what it needs to do to keep the track in a safe condition. How the hell did some people cope when Huggy used to come out after every race for a couple of laps cos that is what he felt was required to give the riders a tip top, safe track??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sun shining at moment, only few spots of rain during the day. Quite breezy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I did say on Monday that this weather event would spare Kings Lynn tonight, the only caveat, is if you have an hour or two of late sunshine, that's all that will be needed to break the convective cap and you could get a couple of thunderstorms with there convective heavy rain..... No sun and you could well be ok.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also tractors can make it worse,bring back the rakers after each race,far better. Weather is looking pretty decent but I can't be bothered. Updates for me I know a fair few lions fans who can't be bothered with this fixture too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
