Dodger Blue Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 The whole situation at Lynn is getting ridiculous, following the joke postponement with Busters awful weather forecast we now have this !! I appreciate that his stand is against the Polish authorities but this call off doesn't bother them at all. This only bothers Speedway supporters who were intending to attend the meeting. Over the years is there any club that hasn't risen a meeting with 2 riders missing ?? R/R and a guest usually covers it!! Its up to the BSPA to challenge Poland, Busters actions here won't be noticed across Europe A pathetic action !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why some on here stick up for him, okay he threatens to shut the track down if they do not attend but he will shut it down at a whim when he decides his time is up. Bang on. Totally agree. Time for big Phil to flex his muscles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlata prilba Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Wonder if Brum would be able to postpone next Mondays meeting V K Lynn due to the fact that Villa are at home to Liverpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 6 minutes ago, arnieg said: The real outrage is that this seems to be the prerogative of the home team. Visitors are frequently two riders short and nobody bats an eyelid. I imagine Buster will end up running twice a week with 3+ guests in early September in order to fit fixtures in as he'll probably cancel every week now on the basis that Ben Basso's a mechanic down or the start Marshall is ill. There’s still life in the broken pit gate latch excuse of course now that Wilko have folded and replacements will be difficult to find at short (several weeks) notice. Outside of speedway Buster should be credited for what he has achieved in life. His education was hindered due to his dog consistently eating his homework. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKM91 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Lynn shouldn’t have to ride without Patryk on a BRITISH race night when he’s 100% fit, it’s as simple as that! and the British Speedway Promoters Ltd obviously share the same opinion 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 54 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: I think the whole basis of the call off and Lynn's grievance is that the Polish meetings have been arranged at short notice and the Leicester meeting rearranged to an evening where Wojdylo was (and should be) available. All this talk of if he'd been injured and only two riders being missing (the press release states that the Museilak injury is irrelevant to their stance) doesn't really matter. Not saying I agree with it as I'm trying to get my head round it still but having seen his performance last week and how important he is to the team at the moment you can see why Lynn don't want to run without him when he's not injured. So KL are calling off a meeting because one rider is missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasta la vista Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 How can Buster be sanctioned when Phil Morris gave away Thursdays to the Poles last season. It's not a priority race night for UK leagues now. UK have Mondays only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not - I’ve been going to KL speedway for over 30 years. Injuries are part & parcel of speedway which is unfortunate, but we would have been without two riders Thursday through no fault of our own, even without Tobi’s recent injury. I would just rather watch a full strength team than guests - my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 What’s interesting is that 2 weeks ago, a member of this forum posted in the international section saying about the 4 quarter finals to be held on this date, before Kings Lynn’s last home match. It’s interesting the timing of this announcement after Woyldo scored a maximum in the last match. Would it be the same stance if he had scored 2 or 3? It absolutely stinks to postpone a match because there is one rider missing, regardless of how much notice has or hasn’t been given. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
