I do agree though that waiting until the morning of the meeting would make much more sense than calling off the day before. I'd also say that not flying riders in would make us even more uncompetitive....which leads to a wider argument that perhaps we are in the wrong league. Expand This.

Expand I think he's done with the running of a speedway club. He thought he would be retired, and enjoying his retirement fund, last season. God knows if Lynn will run next season.

Mumsie Posted May 16, 2024 Report Share Posted May 16, 2024 I would imagine the concrete centre ''green'' doesn't help with drainage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINYS Posted May 16, 2024 Report Share Posted May 16, 2024 Not rained for over 2 hours and no more rain forecast so that leaves 3 to 4 hours to work on the track. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think it was the 2022 season, maybe against Sheffield, when he worked on the track till 9pm, trying to get the meeting on, because the fans/riders etc were all there. Only to be told that the track still wasn't ridable after inspection.. Buster was well pi$$t off, and took to the mic and said he was done, and the club was for sale. I think that was the last time he has tried hard to get a meeting on with bad weather possible. i'm happy to stand corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
