King’s Lynn Stars v Leicester Lions - Thursday 9th May


Recommended Posts

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 !!

It`s about time the authorities took action against Chapman, he is just bringing the sport in to disrepute with his constant actions. 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

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.

One reserve missing so you can call off a meeting .. Surely saying there is no Electric would be better

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

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?

I agree it's a shame for Lynn, but is postponing the meeting really the most suitable action?

If there’s no resolution then yeah 

But there's 3 clubs not riding on Thursday night to choose a guest from

Only if they agree to ride… No-one can force riders to take guest bookings, and I don’t want to watch a meeting at home with riders we could only get as a last resort (no disrespect to S Lambert etc - but I want to watch Patryk/a full strength Lynn side and not guests).

So if he gets injured or binned or any other reason except the one being used, that's you done?

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.

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.
