Star Lady Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 41 minutes ago, Bunce said: So when did all this rain fall at Kings Lynn? It drizzled slightly in Norwich at 1pm today, and is spitting now, but hardly enough to dampen the Mrs washing on the line. Yesterday (sunday) was lovely here, and in the afternoon I was sunbathing on the back straight at Mildenhall in clouds of dust, so I'm puzzled how the weather can be so much worse only an hours drive North of here? Maybe somebody in Lynn can confirm that hurricane Dorian has arrived there! I'm 2 miles from the track and as I said earlier surprised at the early call off. Yesterday was dry all day, as was Saturday. This morning there was slight drizzle about 9 and at 1030 I walked to the supermarket and got slightly damp in the light rain, it wasn't heavy enough to warrant an umbrella! By 1230 the rain had stopped and has been dry ever since. Maybe Buster gets weather updates from the same place as Ford gets sick notes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Lets think about this, As far as Lynn are concerned this is a dead rubber, a meeting of little importance. Now that we have missed out on the PO there is little or no interest even to the die hard fans. We are struggling to assembly a fit team, one that would inspire confidence of the outcome. There is a meeting on the telly where the sports fans can watch in the warmth of their own home, The weather here is not that good. Bearing in mind all these things, and the numbers required for a break even point when running a meeting, then surely the most sensible option would be to call it off... Just a shame they aren't allow to let Pool have the points... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant help feeling, the media is correct, when they refer this as a 'Micky Mouse' sport . Talk about shooting yourself in the foot... Is this a cut and paste comment from one put on here last season sometime? Or one maybe from the season before? Or maybe the season before that?.. Or maybe the season before that? Or maybe the season etc etc etc etc. They never do really learn do they? All to win competitions that by their very own actions mean they become devoid of any kudos or credibility... Absolute Crackers when you think about it isn't it?... Edited September 9, 2019 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hardly anyone was going anyway. How about a nice Buster "special" Double Header. Just to round off the season in traditional style? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Poor old Ricky was carrying that nasty shoulder injury against Wolves. No wonder he struggled. Have to use horses for courses guests now. A real shame as it looked like Ricky was about to ram in some big scores for the playoffs. Our chances are now officially wrecked. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes apparently before Poole signed him,so why an earth did Poole sign an injured rider in the first place.Silly if you ask me. It has rained much of the morning here in Wisbech.Stopped for a while and has now started again.The rain has to start and stop somewhere. Never forget a meeting we went to several years ago.It was hammering down all the way to Lynn,roads under water and when we got to the pullover roundabout it was dry and the meeting went ahead. I was probably at that same meeting! Just shows how weird and localised the British weather can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Even a sport like Darts'. That the one that attracts far bigger crowds, especially to Premier League events? Since when was the 'papers' the entire media? BT Sport are media.. they're broadcasting live coverage of this 'mickey mouse' sport tonight. Never heard them call it Mickey Mouse. Or Local BBC services on their live commentary.

Danny Connor Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I travelled back off a Lowestoft holiday for this rainoff it was wet but not waterlogged however it was not drying weather either. It didn't really properly stop all day. Don't know what to make of it. I understand but probably would have to think twice next time I'm a distance away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
