Technik Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Buster Hater or not, Questions have to be asked. We've just had the first week this year without rain & there's a bloke in the car park that says there has not been any rain. Just how is the track waterlogged? Lynn may have a weaker team than they desire but this is getting very silly now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that part of the investigation when we got deducted 2 points,that an official like the ref had to be present to be able to make any future call off.

Lynn may have a weaker team than they desire but this is getting very silly now They’ve provided evidence on social media to all the keyboard warriors that the track is waterlogged (not that they should have to justify anything to the fans). I live 5 mins away from the Stadium was raining continuously from 5:30 to 7:15. Not that I’m an expert, the track looked rideable but definitely not raceable - who would want to see 15 processional races of follow the leader? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn may have a weaker team than they desire but this is getting very silly now To be fair the car park was in the best condition I've seen it in ages... they should have ran it out there! If you're canceling matches with tracks like the one in the photo Lynn may as well pull the shutters down now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct call was made The weather did exactly as forecast, I thought as they didn't call it early doors there was every intention of running, to then cancel with the track looking like it did and to not even do any work on it is unforgiveable. Fortunately I didn't pay any entrance fee so I will be reintroducing my lifetime ban on King's Lynn, which I suspended last year when they were in financial difficulty. They've lost any regained faith I had in them. I hope all you Lynn fans enjoy your last few matches...

I'm through with em I had the a pretty similar thing when i came to Leicester with the family.Lovely day with a chance of a shower.With the black clouds looming what did the track man do soak the track,what happened we had one shower,not prolonged but the match was called off.If it wasn't soaked by the track man the match would have certainly gone ahead.I haven't been back since.So it don't just happen at Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Lynn numerous times and in days gone by Buster would re-lay the track, seems he can't be arsed these days... so neither can I Edited July 1 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 It's because when he's most recently done it the riders haven't fancied it anyway. Once again it's worth reiterating that the referee is the one who will have called off the meeting, presumably with the agreement if the riders, or at least most of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the way they want to run the sport, fine. Just count me out when there's ANY chance of rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I can assure you there were hailstones at about 5pm. I entered the stadium at 5.43 and the track was waterlogged. The rain then eased for around 10-minutes before it started to rain again quite steadily. The referee, both team managers & both team captains agreed that the track was to waterlogged to contemplate trying to race. That decision was taken at approximately 6.40 with the gates still closed, and to the best of my knowledge, no tickets sold. When I left the stadium just after 7.10 the rain had eased, and by the time I got to the hospital roundabout, you could see there hadn't been so much rain there. I stopped posting on this site a long time ago, due to the nonsense that the majority of people post on here, without really knowing the facts. But I took the decision to post this time so as to let people know there could be a problem, but I wasted my time by some, as I was evidently at Mildenhall. What a stupid comment to make. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
