Mimmo Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Buxton v King's Lynn has been scheduled for this Sunday for a long time now, and my/our hotel has been booked accordingly. However, I now read on the BSPA website, along with those of Buxton & Eastbourne, that the Sussex club are now visiting Derbyshire, and not King's Lynn, even though our website is still showing the fixture as being on!! If a switch in visiting teams to Buxton has been made, what is the reason for that, because Eastbourne are surely into the Gold Cup tournament, so don't need to beat the cut-off date. If this is the case, it's completely unfair on travelling supporters, who like myself, book hotels so as to make a long weekend in that beautiful part of the country.

catinthehat Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Looking at the BSPA fixture list is was changed a few weeks ago? Eastbourne knew about it for a While but for some reason it was flagged up as Buxton had not put it out to the media. Shame these things happen. Maybe you could go up and support Eastbourne for the day if everything is booked or become a hitman supporter. Like you said its a beautiful part of the Country when its dry.

Falcon Hammer Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Was on the Eastbourne website 1st September, Lynn website is extremely poor. If their press officer hasn't got the time, they should give the post to somebody else 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I have every sympathy with your predicament, why not make the best of it? Staffordshire Moorlands and the Derbyshire Dales have some fantastic scenery and attractions. There are so many things to see and do it is impossible to list them all. I know it must be annoying, but look on the bright side, Buxton are becoming well known for turning over seemingly better sides, come and enjoy it. A couple of words to the wise though: Kings Lynn is cold, but Buxton is freezing and the weather can change in an instant. Also, the excellent Burger guy isn't there this week I understand.

gee jay Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Word went round at Eastbourne on Sunday night that those going to Buxton should take a thick coat and a flask of tea as there would be no refreshments. i had a hot roast pork bap the last time i was there , i was tempted to drive back there the following week to get another one. cold ham sandwiches it is then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Word went round at Eastbourne on Sunday night that those going to Buxton should take a thick coat and a flask of tea as there would be no refreshments.

RS50 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 So has the Kings Lynn match been cancelled?. If not when will it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 So has the Kings Lynn match been cancelled?. If not when will it be? Your guess is as good as mine. We had originally planned for it to be on the 20th but now Kings Lynn don't want to do that date so who knows now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARRYH Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Funny enough the 13th has been in my diary for months for Kings Lynn to go there and to take shane there to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Have to say Hopwood has done more than Mason and is unfortunate that we will probably struggle to fit him in next season. Imagine how fast he would go if he was of a slimmer build! he would be unbeatable! Team spiller facebook says Spiller is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 No one knows what the final Averages or next years points limit are going to be but based on current Green Sheet Averages and a 42 point limit we would only have to make two changes. Marc Owen and Richard Andrews out with Charley Powell and A N Other(3.70) in. With a solid top two in Brad and Ben and the continuing improvement in Daniel, Georgie, Kelsey and Charley after their first season we would be right there in the mix. Would be good for the fans to see most of their favourites back and would keep the fantastic team spirit that is so apparent after every match.

Alex2000 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 That is a similar idea to what I've said bridge but the dugards are quite friendly with Andrews... He went to France with them and Tom a while back so think he might work his way in next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWDFAN Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Brads mate Jake Turner would do a good job at this level. He was beating some good riders at home last Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
