Around the Premier League Tracks 2007
Wednesday, 13 June
There were two Premier League matches scheduled for tonight but the weather intervened once again to cause the cancellation of both matches. The meetings in question were between Birmingham and Mildenhall and King’s Lynn and the Isle of Wight.
The match at King’s Lynn almost got started. Jason Bunyan had been nominated as the Isle of Wight’s Rider Replacement for the absent Chris Holder for heat 1 and the riders were on two minutes when there was a heavy shower which doomed any action. One day the Stars will actually get to race a Premier League match at home. The previous scheduled match against Rye House was also cancelled because of the rain.
With the sky darkening and rain starting in the area there was always a danger that this match, too, might be called off. After last night’s thrilling encounter between these two sides on the Island, things didn’t look too bright for the Islanders. Chris Holder’s withdrawal would almost certainly have consigned them to defeat so perhaps they wouldn’t have been too disappointed with the decision. With King’s Lynn already five points to the good in search of the bonus point that looked a forlorn task for the visitors as well.
So the weather intervenes yet again to cause a cancellation. With the number of rain-offs already and the continuing forecasts for unsettled weather it can’t be long before a crisis situation arises in trying to rearrange fixtures.
