We could except when the double uppers have championship meetings at Ipswich Sheffield and Redcar and of course it affects the visiting team - Lynn need to sort something though and ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 The fixed nights and fixture planning doesn't just affect King's Lynn or Wednesday meetings. We race King's Lynn on the 21st May and guess what, Cook and Fricke are in a GP qualifier that day. Assuming that Worrall is still out through injury that leaves us with 3 places to cover. Hans Andersen and Howarth are in the same meeting so the Leicester v Wolverhampton fixture will also be affected and only Poole and Somerset are not racing that night.

Ruling out Jorgensen, MPT, Kerr and Proctor. Although they would be easier to cover those and guarantee us to have Iversen and Lambert full time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursdays should have been the race night. Top league should have had priority. Simple as that. It's amazing the clubs couldn't see this coming, but the fans - once again - could. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 valve Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 The Lions usual race night is Monday and Bjerre and Anderson appear not to have any problems with this. Interestingly, there is no fixture on Monday at Leicester (British Semi Final on Tuesday) so it would have been possible to run the return leg at KL on Monday with full strength teams with plenty of time to prepare the track after any weekend stock car meeting. Difficult to understand why this option wasn't thought of from the outset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I thought the boss of Kings Lynn was the Chairman of the bspa, so why are Kings Lynn having problems with the final choice of their race night. It is the same every year the bspa do not have a clue how to run the sport. Edited May 11, 2018 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would visiting teams agree to this if they are missing team members to championship clubs ? Just so we can have our Danish riders ? It’s a total farce to have to run a so called professional sport in this manner - will King’s Lynn speedway survive this season? that question might be totally over the top but who’s going to go watch when what seems likely riders will be missing each Wednesday of both home and away teams .

kelvinht Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Is everyone panicking too soon. There has been no official news about Wednesday teams yet. Buster was quoted as saying NKI would miss only one more meeting (home?). Jorgensen was also mentioned but can't remember what was said. Why sign MPT if he is now gonna miss a load of matches....surely Busted isn't THAT stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Surely it'll depend if the Danish clubs think the rider's we have are their better choice of squad members. They are also trying to win a league like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he's had enough of the 'Old Boys Brigade..'. You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink..... Just about sums up the BSPA .

Hamish McRaker Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Unless those boys' Danish clubs have chosen their teams for all matches in advance right through to end of season, how can their UK employers know how many Wednesdays they will be missing especially when Wenesday is the internationally agreed priority day for Denmark? Sounds like complete horsesh**te to me if a UK promoter claims to know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him saying this at the meeting in January.He did say it is hard work having to travel here there and everywhere,meeting up with different ruling bodies etc.And as you say he said there are still clicks that doesn't bode well for the sport and he preferred and independent person/s to run it.

flagrag Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Leicester wanted to go to Kings Lynn obviously with a full strength side as want to progress in the cup however the date is upto to the home club to arrange. Maybe the KL promotion feel that Leicester are at more of a disadvantage than themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 So you are saying that the away side have no choice and have to fulfil the fixture when they are told to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
