And KL ain’t making many friends at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 4 hours ago, Haza said: Problem KL has over the years since Buster has owned the club there has been many dodgy call offs and that’s why fans doubt the reasons they are told - it may well rain tonight in which case it was a good call but it was called off yesterday which is rather early - Lynn can’t afford a other home defeat that’s for sure maybe that’s the reason but either way these iffy call offs have to stop . Pretty easy really, let the meeting referee call it, and take it out of the hands of staging promotions. Its been done before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one gets paid so no costs to the clubs, and also, maybe, the riders would be more inclined to ride when "less than 100%"? Which as the years go by, is becoming less and less the norm.. Apart from obviously, in October when "all of a sudden," play offs take place in all sort of conditions...

Then give it to them.. Another incentive to get the match on.. Edit. Ian beat me to it... And, as an aside, some ST holders might not make any rearrangement date anyway so lose out regardless..
