Rob B Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 If it is postponed surely this needs to be announced today, fans have plans quite a few BV fans I know coming will need to cancel annual leave with work, riders will have plans. there are no free dates to rearrange it unless they put it in 19 August instead of Birmingham meeting.

TTT Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 For once I agree with Buster here. Impossible to field a half decent side let alone a competitive one, Would've lost a fortune on the night as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue will have to hope Poole don't arrange a meeting that night. What happens if it rains (or any other Kings Lynn excuse) presume Belle Vue will be awarded points?

szkocjasid Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 (edited) Not a fan of postponing matches due to lack of suitable guests. As things stand there is no encouragement to run with a full 7 man team, Plymouth, Berwick, Workington, Ipswich as well as Lynn all happy / willing to run with guests till the end of the season. But if clubs can call off matches when they can't get guests, even less need for clubs to sign replacements for missing riders. While I think it's a shame a team being weaker through injury, I don't think it's a reason not to race.

eric i Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 This meeting would have taken precedence over the rearranged Polish meeting so Jan Kvech would have taken 28 day ban had he not turned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he doesn’t mind going to an away track with Simon lambert as a number one and Lewis Kerr replacing a heat leader. it shows complete contempt to his fellow promoters when Lynn come to town with a poor team and yet when it’s busters pocket which takes a hit he claims he can’t put out a sub standard team and calls it off. if you can’t play with the big boys then go down a league and be competitive there 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I sincerely hope that whoever did the press release, stating that running such a meeting would have lacked credibility, was laughing their knackers off as they typed that bit out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently we have given away our Thursday priority. Poles have priority on a Thursday for rearranged fixtures. So, there would not have been a ban for Jan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, there would not have been a ban for Jan. This scenario was in place when we signed Dan but were prevented from using him by the BSPL. They trotted out a line that no deal had been done when in reality is was due to the fact that UK teams had assembled without “polish” riders and they didn’t like the fact we had, so they stopped us using Dan. The current deal wasn’t deemed acceptable at the time but somehow a few months later, it was fine. Stopping a Brit, the British champion no less from competing in the British league, you couldn’t make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to ride away with a "weakened team" but always want their top riders at each home meeting... Pretty standard practice....

As the UK knew that getting more top riders back would grow their crowds significantly.... A good plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
