Of course it is, it should have been Monday & Thursday for the Premiership and that would have been the end of it. As per usual the decision was avoided because 3 clubs wouldn’t change race night. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the wooden shed behind main grandstand ( about where turnstiles are now ) in the interval it was packed and difficult to get into to buy merchandise. God knows how much pocket money I spent on photos of Bettsy. Saved up to get race jackets. We made a speedway track around Fathers lawn. Even put tapes in from a pole to a tree. Local kids turned up on their bicycles to race. But my brother and I looked the best with our race jackets. Father wasn’t amused though as we destroyed the outside of his lawn. Happy days fond memories. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 It’s fully understandable that many fans are very unhappy with the line ups for tonight but it has to be remembered that Leicester tried very hard to get the date of this fixture changed even as late as the 1st leg but KL would not have it. I cant see there being a very large crowd tonight so financially could be very bad for the club if poor crowd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I can see the crowd being poor tonight. It's that clubs fault , if they put a piss poor team out they will get a piss poor crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potman Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I am just looking forward to 15 heats of good racing, it's a pity there are several team members missing but hopefully the remaining plus guests etc. will put on a good show. Just hope the rain either holds off or is not too heavy. Come on ye Stars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I really don't get all the moaning about the team, Buster couldn't get Rory so what other guests could he get that would be better? You can't be worried about Wells surely! Leicester reserves are far inferior to Kings Lynn reserves, the team isn't that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 This date was fixed in the original fixture schedule, but it was down as a league meeting. When the original KO cup match was cancelled, this date/fixture was then changed enabling it to be the 2nd leg of the KO cup. The league fixture that was pencilled in for this date has yet to be announced . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still agreed by Leicester?Or did the BSPA say the KO Cup takes priority.Whatever,whether it is league or cup Leicester then agreed to it even before the season had started.

semion Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Robin Brundle will learn, as Busters son JC and Rob Lyon before him, there is only one Organ Grinder at Lynn Speedway. Monkeys change nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 It's an Open Meeting tonight isn't it? Some X Select against Y Select? Looks that way. Pity points are at stake or rather Cup progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bump Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Looking at the original line-ups of both teams, the stars would be missing only NKI whilst we’d be missing only Hans Andersen when this date was pencilled in. Whilst that’s still far from ideal maybe some thought that was a fair compromise. At the time anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
