Arch Stanton Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 I feel sorry for the Lynn fans to be honest. They’ve got to be embarrassed at this point. It’s their club and it’s being run like a circus. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Buster has had a number of dubious call offs in recent seasons and although he is more up front about this one it will be interesting to see the outcome of the enquiry!

This time, Chapmans narcistic behavior has been called to account by the appropriate authorities and hopefully his stubborn and arrogant nature will be penalised accordingly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 The BSPL have finally grown a set. Just get Buster out of this sport ASAP! Send the clown packing for good as far away as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, Dodger Blue said: That wasn't my point. I was questioning the statement ' I would just rather watch a full strength team other than guests ' It was a case of it you support KL decision would you expect KL to call off a meeting against weakened opposition. I'm no Buster defender as many know, but I believe I talk ?some? common sense. People seem to love getting their undercrackers in a tangle at every opportunity. At the end of the day, while a sport (questionable I know), it has to be a business. Cloth needs to be cut. Let's be quite frank, King's Lynn (yet again) are showing to be a pretty s#!+ team. There is now massive weight on the shoulders of Wojdylo to save the clubs season. Buster (in a business sense) couldn't give 2 poops about the away sides or going away from home, the bread & butter is the Adrian Flux Arena. He needs the fans to turn up to keep the club alive & being whacked at home week in week out will have a detrimental effect to business. Genuinely don't believe any King's Lynn fan would be to upset by the call off, they'd see the benefit to them as the fans most likely to pay the entrance. Most that's throwing a paddy now wouldn't even be parting with their hard earned to watch the meeting. If King's Lynn keep losing at home they go under, it's as simple as that. It has to be business first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got a large piece of carpet and a broom spare? It's probably under the 'totting up' rule (like in football when a player finally gets a yellow after comtting a lot of minor fouls) - You shouldn't be able to just postpone a scheduled meeting however!

Hawk127 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, Mr Bump said: Official SCB enquiry into the postponement of this fixture. Blimey Not much will happen. Enquire means to ask a general question while inquire means to ask a formal question so no real investigation going on just a quick email from the BSPL or whoever to Buster asking politely why he did not tell them first. Buster replies that he thought he had and that’s the end of the matter. If he gets bullied he will pull the plug on KL and blame the authorities. Does he have an ulterior motive?

hammer1969 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 So the SCB are disappointed and have set up an enquiry. Let's hope they reach some proper conclusions and Kings Lynn ie Buster Chapman are sanctioned properly. I've lost count of the times I've seen teams fielding 2, 3 and sometimes even 4 guests, that's not right either or fair on the promotions or fans but at least the meetings went ahead, this meeting should also have gone ahead. I'll await their conclusions with interest because if they come down on the side of Mr Chapman that surely opens the flood gates for any team in the future who are a rider or two short due to injury/having to ride in Poland/family matters and various other excuses to cancel their meeting and short notice.

Coventry had to ride in a play off semi (I think) without Hamill, Hancock & Janniro... And of course it was against the rules to postpone this coming Thursdays match, you may not like it but rules is rules Edited May 7 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 'Tears & Glory' page 155: "the 1992 King’s Lynn v Reading match was postponed unilaterally by promoter Buster Chapman on August 22. (The Stars would have taken to the track without their top two, Henka Gustafsson and Mark Loram.) A month later the SCB awarded the match 75-0 to Reading, causing much outrage amongst their title rivals. " That's p155 as in 'taking the p155'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
