Anyone who has seen the pics from that meeting will know how wet it was. Buster will keep the AFA, it’s a good earner. I think if Buster pulls the plug on the speedway, then Lynn will be no more, as any new promotor would have to pay rent. That's what happens when you use muck instead of shale unfortunately. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't no muck as you like to put it on the track.When you see the Gp challenge today where the track was absolutely dangerous it makes you wonder why they couldn't have attempted this.Although Barker and Harris were willing but stopped by the ref who i assume hasn't ridden a bike before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) For the non Stars fans.. These pics are from the Stars visit to Wolves on 9/8/21. After Buster had bladed Lynns, it looked in better shape than this ..... No falls in this meeting either. I would be miffed if i was Buster..

If it is true that he didn't want to ride, only going on the twitter exchange with Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad No, it could've been taken either way tbf ........ why would the ref not want to get the meeting on if at all possible.

I'm not sure what the rules say about riders taking to the track before racing starts, obviously we see riders on their bikes on parade but as for actually putting some laps in at racing speed I don't know where we stand. In all of my 44 years watching the sport I have only ever seen riders test the track once and that was one Good Friday morning at Oxford vs Cradley Heath. It was called off because the riders "couldn't turn their bikes" due to track conditions. After it was called off a few riders went out and did some practicing, if my memory serves me!

I think it also happened when Poole were at Oxford when they had Hancock and Fisher in the team (but it may have been at Poole tbh) and practice laps were done. I remember Greg doing the lap for Oxford but not sure who did it for Poole. I'm pretty sure it went ahead but can't remember 100%. I think a rider from each team did 4 laps each. Also good for telling the track staff if any more work needs to be done on the track or if enough has been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Well maybe the ref needs to be allowed the option for the good of the sport. I often think, for the good of speedway, that riders should ALWAYS be allowed practice before a meeting starts then we wouldn't get the processional first few heats .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 apropos of nothing I was just reading this morning that Kings Lynn FC charge £26 admission. Saddlebow Road is a relative bargain! However they will play in the rain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
