Bald Bloke Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 (edited) Well. What could of been a cracking meeting, with a good crowd and atmosphere, could turn out to be underwhelming for Lynn fans especially. I'm sure all the boys will give it their all, but we need a bloody miracle with our 3 top riders out. Wishing Ben and Nicolai a speedy recovery, well as speedy as it can with their injuries. Not forgetting a special mention to our former No 1. Thanks for nothing Tobi. Edited July 21 by Bald Bloke spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 No word from the club about Bens injury, I am wondering if Thursdays meeting will go ahead. We have already had a meeting postponed due to rider unavailability. I wouldn’t be surprised if Buster withdrew the Stars from the league.

I was told last night that the meeting was not taking place however, this was only from someone who volunteers on race day so it could just be a load of bull**** and not true.

Some say elbow, i read somewhere else that it was a broken shoulder.. No doubt someone on here will be able to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t understand why the club haven’t issued a statement about Basso. It seems to me that they can’t be bothered anymore, that’s why I fear the worst for the team continuing for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I don't think Thursday will go ahead and it would seem Kings Lynn will pull out from the league with a view to operating in next years Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Surely if the boy Musicylak is with-holding his services to Kings Lynn , he cannot be allowed just to sign up for another club in the same league ? Kings Lynn surely have a contract with the rider for the 2024 season ? If he is allowed to ride for another club surely there should be a transfer fee involved ? For once I support the SCB BSPA BSPL (or whatever they call themselves nowadays) in barring Musicylak from riding in PL for anyone but Kings Lynn. I see the non viable PL is now regularly exposed as the fixed race nights of only Monday and Thursday racing, even with just 7 teams, just means fixture backlogs cannot be recovered. Some years ago I proffered that cancelled meetings should not be re-run. Teams should each be awarded 1 point. Clear incentive to home team to get fixture ON. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one gave us a chance including the Wimbledon riders. How wrong they were - even with just the one regular heat Leader Ken McKinlay we beat the dirty Dons :-) Arise the new kid on the block Malcolm Simmons - I am sure KL fans will remember Simmo :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicylak has already served his 28 day suspension and I don't believe King's Lynn own his contract. If the SCB don't issue any further sanction he should be free to ride. There's a free Monday tomorrow night yet Lynn are not using it to fulfil any outstanding fixture! 1 point each for a postponed fixture is something I've been banging on about for years also.

Yet a team can drop a rider at any time with no notice and no financial liability Qutting/withholding services carries a 28 day ban - once served he should be free to ride elsewhere If not every dropped rider should be due a full seasons income for such a binding contract 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
