IainB Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 It seems to me that King's Lynn should be expelled from the league, they can't assemble a team and habitually call meetings off and that's not just this season. They're bringing the whole sport down in this country. If they want to run open meetings IoW style, fine, no objection to that but as it is they're effecting every other team in the league with their continual shenanigans!

They've seen a catalog of postponements, over the years, at King's Lynn and can see the writing is on the wall. It's no skin off the Leicester promotions nose (financially) whether it's run or not. Bigger picture it probably is, but no promotion looks at the bigger picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you're not saying Buster would do anything underhanded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never dream of suggesting such a thing But if you drill this one down to it's bare bones... Buster has called a meeting off, again, based on a weather forecast, again, unable to track a full team, again... only this time he's bringing in the opposition promotion to justify the decision. Could Leicester have said no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the FACT that all three meetings that were due to be raced today have been called off.............. you wouldn't want a little matter like that to stand in the way of your biased views! Before you start your rant about historical matters ................. this is about here, now, today!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 KL are never going to complete all of the rearranged fixtures before the cut off date. You'll have to run meetings with a threat of rain at some stage because this is British weather after all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
