You're right there have been a good few ,but to be fair, on the flip side there have been numerous times when Buster has bust a gut to re lay the track only for riders to refuse to go out, so in one respect I can sort of get it   Still not raining though

You are correct and one of culprits is in the Sheffield team so Buster may have played a blinder - but there will be a time when KL can take advantage of another clubs misfortune via injury rider availablity or even a dodgy weather forecast but KL doesn’t want to whinge when a meeting is off that the club can take advantage of - as the saying goes what goes around comes around . And KL ain’t making many friends at the moment

Hope everyone in King's Lynn is keeping safe.

With all of that rain the drains must be overflowing by now.

As SCB official nearing the stadium to make a track inspection...:D

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.

All of this cancelling meetings shenanigans needs setting down in the rules in some way, there's far too much of it going on by many clubs in all leagues

Do you honestly think that all of these cancelled meetings do the promoters any favours in today's climate.They are called off for a reason and nothing will ever change....oh,by the way,I don't need a map,I've got satnav..:-)

Just give both teams one point each...

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...

No, but equally calling meetings off when there is nothing wrong with the weather can also cause damage in a way that isn't immediately obvious i.e. when punters are making their own minds up whether to attend a meeting weighing up the chances of whether it'll be on or not because clubs haven't been consistent with their decisions in the past

People would want £20+ back on their season tickets if the match was not to take place.

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..

That just might be the incentive needed  to stop these crazy call offs
