Peterborough League
Veteran Division Two: Kings Cliffe v Long Sutton Veterans.
What’s unappetising for A is the season ended prematurely for half the league. A squeezed campaign – starting in the beginning of April and finishing with a very early cut-off date meaning bikes were down virtually as soon as the school holidays were over – resulted in a mad rush where Lynn faced fixtures in days.
“We all know it’s going to rain at some point. You can’t legislate for how bad the weather was, not just for KL but for everyone.
“From there you have a ridiculous situation where everyone is trying to run around doing fixtures because of the rain-offs. People always say ‘you run the middle of March until the end of October’.
“Had the rain-offs not happened when we lost the RH meeting, our season would have ended a coule of days into September. That’s just not acceptable.
“You look at it this way: a club that was involved in a relegation battle – although it’s worked quite well for Leicester, as it’s turned out – if KL had been involved in that we would have finished at the beginning of September and then not raced together for five weeks. That’s ridiculous.
